I'm getting this regularly when first going from the homepage to the forum, but usually if I close the tab, and try again, it works fine with no slowdown or anything.

PC/Chrome.

Much better than the extreme slowdown of before.
.
Here exactly the same. Just once at openeening. Better this then 20 sec waiting on loading and then again 503 error.

Just experiencing this since a month.

Site at random extends the hyperlink with &sid=… this results in a 40x error.

For example starting at the main screen of F1 technical and clicking to “active topics”
or clicking on a forum thread.

It mostly happens at the start of browsing. And when it happens you cannot visit the forum part.

But manually cleaning the link one time will solve the problem for this session.

HW used. iPhone, MacBook. Both with Safari and Brave browser.


Wrong hyperlink:
https://www.f1technical.net/forum/searc ... 8dsffgbbjc

Correct hyperlink:
https://www.f1technical.net/forum/searc ... ive_topics

I see folks also mention this in another thread.
https://www.f1technical.net/forum/viewt ... 0&start=75
This is what I am seeing on occasion. It seems that it will append the "&sid=..." to the URL and that causes the issue. I have noticed that if I chop that off the URL it works. I have also noticed that on the page (such as a sub forum topic list) that it will have the URL with the &sid=... but I can refresh the page then the &sid= portion of the URL is gone and the link works.

Don't you guys get a 503 error? ("Service Temporarily Unavailable")

404 would should be appearing when nothing's under that URI.

Yes, when I use the direct link to active topics. If I go to /forum/ the general chat etc. I dont get a 503 error.

I also always use the direct link to active topics. I get a 503 error. ("Service Temporarily Unavailable")
Then I click on the same link and everything is fine. This happens only the first time I open my laptop in the morning.

Originally they were 404 errors, but now they're 503 errors.
