No issues here from tablet, phone or desktop. All using Chrome.
TT, what browser are you using?
If you are using chrome, are you using the latest?
BTW people…there is something going on with Chrome desktop. Google said it was “mandatory” to get the newest version. Which is not the usual language.
No issues here using Firefox and Windows 10

No issues using Firefox 66.0 (64 bit), Mac.
Pasting chunks of such error messages into Google often turns up disussion of them with clues to where they originate.

leads to among others this:

And someone did ask about a similar error here last time the site was being fixed:
You have deleted your browser cache?

I should have previously mentioned (before I took a mental trip down memory lane) there was a period earlier today when the BLF site could not be reached from here in NM. However, whatever the cause, that problem cleared up and once again all is fine. Hardware/software a mix of:a PC running Win10 and a Chrome browser, an RPi running Raspian and a Chromium browser and two Android phones running Chrome browsers.
Just bought a π 0W for 5bux t’other day. Even has wifi built in, and is the size of a ketchup packet (got pix).
Anyhoo, only had a 5min hiccough where no one was answering.
Hi Tom Tom (and everyone else), my apologies for the slow reply. I’m currently traveling with very poor internet access, so I’m only handling urgent site issues. I’m looking through the system logs to see if I can figure out why that’s happening.

Tom Tom,
Not had any issues here, been on every day, on multiple devices.
UK based.
Firefox, Win10 (usually have NordVPN on set to UK).
Chrome, Android, tablet & Phone.
I’ve never had any problems regarding BLF speed, unless at peak times between 5:30 and 6:45 PM EST.
No issues for me. Normally on android using Brave n Chrome
No issues here on Firefox. But the lack of SSL may become a problem in the future.

i am online 18 hours a day - 7 days a week and check BLF often in that timeframe
NEVER had issues (besides the real downtimes)
It would be a good idea to enable HTTPS, but SSL is deprecated. TLS 1.2 should be used at a minimum.
Let’s Encrypt! makes it very easy and free to obtain a certificate which is trusted by all major platforms.

Mostly using mobile devices, but I rarely have issues loading the forum. Maybe just a PC thing.

With respect, reports of “no problems” whilst encouraging, won’t help diagnosis for those may be. Who may still be virtually locked out, as am I.
It’s only because I am so stubborn that I keep trying, every once in a while something gets through.
I have updated BudgetLightForum.com Status Updates: [FINISHED] Down for maintenance in the hopes that it is useful to sbd, once he is able to investigate.
Try 8.

Tom Tom, just curious, are you seeing this issue using different devices and different browsers?

I was. Full details on posted on blogspot.
Windows, Android, fibre broadband, 4G mobile broadband, my neighbour’s broadband, my Supermarket free WiFi, Opera, Opera Touch, Chrome, IE, Edge, Firefox. Ajax errors, Drupal errors, SQL errors, timeouts.
Have had better luck today, but still not perfect.
Hoping that sbd’s maintenance today has resolved things. I’ll give it a day or two.
Try 1

Doesn’t sound like anyone is having problems other than you.
