"Criticker is under maintenance"

[AFlickering]

getting these messages almost constantly atm when i try to load any criticker page. same message i normally get at 6am BST when the server presumably restarts or whatever. you're probably already aware, and perhaps it really is under maintenance, but the fact that it seems to load every one in ten times i try it makes me wonder if it's just a bug. i even got the message the first time i tried to post this, so here's my second attempt...

clearing my cookies seems to have fixed this thusfar.

The same was happening to me too. Thanks for the tip about clearing cookies.

This actually surprises me... There was nothing happening today that was out of the ordinary.

Please update here if the behavior continues...

just happened again, on my phone this time. only once so far though.

happened again as i tried to post this. different browser and different device from yesterday's problems.

clearing cookies hasn't helped this time, just had to refresh 9 times before i stopped getting the message

incidentally, an unrelated bug is the 'forums' link doesn't seem to be working on safari on iphone. nothing happens when i click it so i'm having to get here via google.

Still occurring regularly for me. A reload or two gets by it.

it just happened to me (on chrome on the PC) but isn't as frequent as it has been at times. i bet it'll do it when i post this though..........

edit: it didn't.

Alright, thanks for the additional information. We're looking into this -- we can't reproduce it yet, but we'll hopefully figure out what's going on, soon!
