I keep getting intermittent "Service Unavailable" error messages. "Try again later." Sometimes, the page loads on a repeated click; sometimes, I try in 10 minutes and it works. If not solved quickly, I shut down and try again several hours later.
My browser of choice is Firefox, so it appears to cross all platforms. Wonder if the latest Windows update, which has been problematic, is contributing to these technical difficulties?
People are complaining (in other threads) about a variety of problems on PCs (Mac and Windows), smart phones (iOS and Android). So I don't think it's just a Windows thing. And they report problems using all different browsers (IE, FF, Safari, Chrome, ...). . But there's the thing. Well, my thing, since I've been recommending it for years. Open source (freeware) Forum Software is used by millions of users on thousands of bulletin boards, websites, etc.. The various forum software consortia that maintain those packages would have dozens and dozens of programmers debugging code to operate properly in any modified operating system environment. . As new problems arise, TER is stuck having to debug their own custom code. I don't know how many full time programmers they have. My guess is that most of the new GUI was outsourced to contract programmers. . Design or design implementation is one thing. We disagree with some of TER Admin's decisions and that's that. But debugging coding errors and keeping code up to date with new technical requirements is quite another. . In another thread, I referred to the freely available HTML Validators out there. Plug in a URL and it checks the HTML for coding errors. I've checked a bunch of TER urls and TER HTML is full of errors, some minor, some major.
