Network Issues on Similar Worlds

Hello,

For several minutes, all our servers were very slow and unresponsive, due to a network outage.
(everything is ok with the servers and with your data)

It appears to be a wider issue, not just impacting Similar Worlds.

Our network team is currently looking into this.
We apologize for any inconvenience.

[b]EDIT - This issue may be resolved now. We are still monitoring.[/b]

[b]UPDATE May 8 - We're having problems again, unfortunately. We're actively looking at what we can do about this.[/b]

Thank you
-SW Team

Angry people calm down, it’s only a website, you can get back to your catfishing shortly

@GLITTER You should post this as a PSA. Good work 😉👍
FlowersNButterflies · 61-69, F
When, in the history of humankind, has telling people to calm down ever worked? @PhilDeep

just a thought... why does SW tell me i am off line, when it is clear to me, and to other sites i am logged into, that i am not?

it is a very annoying message.

please change it.

@SumKindaMunster @DeWayfarer

ok, but i honestly cannot recall ever seeing it when i am online.

thanks, both of you for responding 🙂🌻🇺🇦

@Yulianna I agree that that message isn't the best. We'll change it so that it says something like "either you're offline, or we're having a problem in our side", or similar.

@Nuno 🇺🇦🌻 thanks again! 🤗

Thanks a lot otherwise I was thinking my Phone has stop working properly.. 😂😅
IWasCallingYaLarry · 26-30, M
@Wateribbon same.
KiwiBird · 36-40, F
I noticed.

The message should say SW is off line not me. It suggests I am at fault.

Not all sites use this type of message which is trying to shift the blame.

Own it.

@Dlrannie 🤗 you can't always "fix" a DDoS attack.
Dlrannie · 31-35, F
@Yulianna I’ll take your word on that as I’m technical idiot 😂😘🌷🌸❤️

FlowersNButterflies · 61-69, F
Told me I was off-line.
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@FlowersNButterflies that's the client site script talking. Javascript.
FlowersNButterflies · 61-69, F
Never understood what is java, what is html. I see those options on my iPad, but hmmmmmmm. @DeWayfarer
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@FlowersNButterflies scripts are basically divided into two categories. Client side and server side.

What gets download with a page is called client side scripts. They are run by your browser.

So that message is basically already downloaded. And your browser just puts it up. It doesn't need to get updated.

Thank gosh, I thought I'd been banned 😿
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@JupiterDreams different announcement.

Same problem though. 😔
IWasCallingYaLarry · 26-30, M
So it wasn't just me having issues, then. Thought at first my phone was being stupid until I tested a YouTube video and the video played perfectly fine.
Montanaman · M
Wuz wondering wtf. 🤷‍♀️🤪👍
FlowersNButterflies · 61-69, F
@Montanaman Me, too!
It seems fine now
ImJack · M
Hi

The site load (web page load) is extremely slow, log in is slow, changing pages is slow, but the adverts seem to be fine - I know they come from a different server.
Miram · 31-35, F
@ImJack it's just temporary issue
ImJack · M
@Miram Yes I'm very aware of that - only giving them user feedback - none of the other various sites I am using are currently suffering slow down, including Linkedin, BBC, YouTube, Twitter or Instagram
Yulianna · 22-25, F
thank you for the update.
btchstfu · F
i think u also need to do something about "you heart too fast". is it my fault that my finger is fast?
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@btchstfu it's incase of trolling.

Yes, it's really slow loading, thanks for letting us know ✌️
SubstantialKick · 31-35, M
Yeah, it just suddenly crashed for me out of nowhere.
Dlrannie · 31-35, F
SW vanished for more than ‘several minutes’ - more like 40 minutes ☹️
ronisme1 · 61-69, M
Thanks for the notice. Its appreciated
SumKindaMunster · 51-55, M
Seems better now, thanks!
@SumKindaMunster yes it's very fast now. Few minutes back it was like using sw on dial up internet connection
hunkalove · 61-69, M
It's always slow.
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
Noticing it! 😔
Dlrannie · 31-35, F
May 8th - took more than 30 minutes to get on to the site in the UK- it’s getting very silly and annoying- please fix it
Nanori · F
Oh thank, I was about to restart ERRETHANG thinking it's me
PhilDeep · 51-55, M
Thanks for the update - I was wondering what happened!
