error 500
constant crashing
on top of that, myanimelist is not showing images, code hasn't changed, it's either having a problem pulling the images from the server or the location of them has changed so the code no longer works

I'm afraid that the more errors I get the higher the chance of my phone flying out through a closed window. Please fix because I've no monies to buy a new one.

White page on forums (no error but just white/blank page) every now and then. Needs some reloading to get it to load the actual page. No lag ... more l ike quick loading but the server not having the data ready and sending a blank page instead of letting the browser wait. (I did not change any browser settings.)

500 error on my laptop, and white page on my tablet... It’s quite annoying. I refresh the page (sometimes need to refresh 2-3 times) and it’s okay.

I do not know, first day and no lags on MAL. Absolutely no lags. I hope it will stay like this, because it is getting way too annoying.

My theory is that coronavirus has overloaded the servers, and therefore requests time out fast instead of taking a lot time

I haven't been able to access the site directly for about a week.
However, if I use a transparent proxy, I can access it and I don't even have slowdowns.

Update : Well, I managed to fix it, it was a DNS issue on my side.

Tried accessing any MAL webpage and the blank screen pops up.

Can't interact with the page, there's only a white screen, same happened in my android.

If i log without a VPN the error happens why is that? Help mods.

Error 403 means forbidden. Maybe you got IP banned?

I can't access MAL with Puffin Browser (mobile app) 403 Forbidden page. I'm not using VPN. MAL works everywhere else. It sucks because I've used Puffin as my main browser to play Facebook apps without having to download the apps (Request Desktop site) and the mobile layout just looks better overall than other browsers...

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@myanimelist.net and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

It wasn't me. I swear it was my cat.

Confirming. This is annoying. After any change that I do (making a post, following/unfollowing a thread, changing title stats in my list, updating a bloody still broken/not working after so many years signature, etc, etc, etc) I need to wait about a minute for this error page gone, and even hard refresh won't help.

There is such thing as shit taste. Only idiots think that every "work of art" should have the same value.

Persona anime are good. Deal with it.

Hi,

I noticed this morning, MAL has been running slow. I thought it was my internet which I checked with other websites and no issues. MAL just seems to load longer than usual.

While it still worked without error message the response time of the forum and website some minutes ago (when the previous people posted above me) was pretty slow.

Instead of immediately (max 2-3 seconds delay) loading the site it took 10-20 seconds or so. Also cllicking on the "+" in the list takes longer to increase the episode count.

I wrote this post (different version) 20-30 minutes ago and went afk and when I came back it was still stuck at the "sending" icon. (Icon/animation after you cllick submit.)

Now it seems to work fine again though.

Ah. So that's why I'm not getting notifications - it's the lag. This is the third thread I didn't get any notifications in recent hour despite getting them for the same threads just several hours ago.

And no, it's not because there are too many people. I've seen those exact same symptoms back in the day on our local blog server.

This kind of shit happens when anti-DDoS services trying too hard to protect the server and thus starting to randomly and temporarily denying access to some users that are way too active to service's algorithms.

Yeah, it sorta-kinda linked to too many users - but that's neither their nor server's hardware fault.

Someone just need to tweak MAL's cloud protection service a bit better. Which is not easy but definitely doable.

Doing database edits is borderline impossible too with how slow the website is. And posting on the forums seems to require refreshing too.
