Is it just me?

# 41 I have not been able to go to the 'New User Discussions' link under the Explore tab today. All of the other drop down menu under that tab work just fine... But every time I try the 'New User Discussions' one, it will take me to a page with a bunch of errors... Has anyone else experienced the same? Is there some updates going on for that link? Or is it just a temporary glitch that will go away? Image credit: Pixabay UPDATE I just tried the page and it is now working fine... Thank you everyone for helping me in figuring out what's going on... And many thanks to @myLotBugs whom I assume fixed the problem...

It isn't just that link. The error is liable to appear on any page which won't load because the server is having problems. Refreshing the page (sometimes several times) should eventually work. Usually the error will be noticed and corrected by Admin when he gets in to work in the morning. Don't forget that it may be the middle of the night in Kansas, so it can sometimes take a few hours for it to be corrected!

Error when trying to access New User Discussions (Firefox)
@sishy7 From the screenshot you posted, it seems that it's a time-out error. In other words, your PC has sent a request (to retrieve the 'New User Discussions' page) and the code which collects the data to display has taken longer than expected and has failed. It's probably time to alert @MyLotBugs (which this comment will do). Not everyone seems to be getting the error and I don't get it when using the Chrome browser but I have just done so using Firefox and I'm attaching my screenshot, which may be of some use to MyLotBugs in tracing the error.

I see. It has now been almost 24 hours and I'm still getting the error. Should I continue to wait or what would you suggest I should best do?

@owlwings Many thanks for your help, much appreciated... I've tried using different computers/laptops and different browsers but none of them worked in accessing the page. I will now wait for any updates on the alert done in your comment.

I opened the category , after reading this and see nothing wrong there , my friend . I guess the glitch is just with your computer or maybe your internet connection .

I rarely use that link so I had to check before responding, but it opened fine.

I just checked and found that the caption 'new users discussions' is working fine. You may like to check it again. It might be a temporary glitch, which has been removed by now.

Does the pop up happen when you're on mobile? And when you said you can't respond, did you mean there's no response button available for you? If that so, it means the discussion poster has blocked you...

@infatuatedbby I've read several occasions where members are blocked by mistakes... The blocker didn't mean too, and only realized when a third party PM him/her which then he/she will be able to unblock...

@sishy7 you are actually doing some research work for my lot bugs here if you discover more than one is having the same problem it might be a problem not on your end but at the other end. Who knows maybe a server is doing a routine clean up utility at a particular time or something to hold up connections. Why it would be on one list only is beyond my understanding though.

The timeout error I got before usually went away after refreshing the page... This is the first time when I keep getting an error message when trying to open a page and refreshing it won't make the error go away...

I just tried the "New User Discussions" and no problem. But I did run into a problem with Firefox browser it won't let me us my password to get into myLot. I had to go to Internet explorer and walla my page popped up. So I don't know if there are glitches in the system or what. I pray not. I hope you are able to use the "New User Discussions" tab.
