404 errors in Formula One forum

[Ozan]

I'm getting 503 errors every day, I clear the cookies and refresh the page, it solves the problem except that sometimes it adds some links after f1technical.net/********* if this adds automatically, i get 503 errors. I delete that extra url and it is solved.

I get 503 errors daily too - I have read and visited this website for years without issue but its really becoming difficult to continue using.

You just have to refresh once and then the 503s stop..

It's an anti-bot thing. Without the 503s the website had 1000s of bot visitors and the site would take minutes to load a page

It is literally a consequence of the anti-bot measures, yes.

Is there no intention to fix this?

I am glad, the 20 sec loading the page is 1000 times worse then this one time per day 503 error.

I'm also having problems with error 503.

But if I go back and press F5 before clicking on the link, the 503 error disappears. It seems to be some issue related to cookie/authentication token in the browser.

Guys when you rejoin the forum you do this
1. Go to homepage
2. F5 (refresh)

Then everything are working fine.
