Planetsuzy Problems - Please Panic Here!

Indeed.
Most people think the internet is a constant stream. This is mostly true of hard wired connections but if any part of that connection is transmitted, it's more of a pulse and sometimes things get lost.

By "working" about a thanks, I mean that my pseudo appears under the post. But clicking on a thanks button, if you are not connected to the Internet will result in the disappearance of the “thanks” button. And that's quite a problem because you see the button is gone but nothing happens. I lose sometimes my connection. If i was clicking on the thanks button, I have to reload the page and thank again, once the connection is ok.
So the disappearing of thanks button is something "local" in your browser but doesn't mean that the psuzy server has received the "thanks".

By saying this, I'm not implying that people who say the thanks button doesn't work have lost their connection, it's just to explain that this button isn't “linked” to psuzy, as opposed to the quote/reply buttons that, if you click on it while not connected, will result in an error message.

My connection is wired and solid via my VPN. As I mentioned, I've been an Enterprise sysadmin for a LARGE government agency for 25+ years. The 'pulsing internet theory' is not the cause. I have customers in remote places who could access & update a SharePoint 2016 Farm via a wireless connection more consistently than the thanks button works. The same holds true for Remedy and various other Enterprise applications, all hosted on real or VM servers and now in M$ cloud. I'd be willing to bet the issue lies in a SQL time out at least that's where I would start my troubleshooting based on what I'm seeing.

Thank you Luch for taking the time to respond, much appreciated. Let's just leave it at that.

Your connection is wired to the wall but you have no idea what is going on down the pipe. Also many people experiencing these issues are using wifi/3g/4g/5g connections and not cable. That and the fact that this forum was built using code current when win98 was cutting edge is just a part of the problems that combine to make many things on this forum erratic. Frankly the fact that this site works at all when the browsers it was designed for were consigned to the dustbin decades ago is a miracle in itself.

The fault is intermittent. Some of the people. Some of the time. That's not a constant coding problem.It's a weakness in the coding triggered by connection fragility.

But what was it Ronald Reagan famously said?
"The nine most terrifying words in the English language are 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help.'"

As you were.

So. A weakness in the coding triggered by connection fragility.

Getting huge bouts of 502 today. After a while the forum works fine for a few minutes, until another bout of 502 and spamming the refresh button to death.. :/

[BooBootheBear]

I was just going to offer up the same observation.
502 fun for hours and hours.

No panic. Just a report accompanied by a heavy, resigned sigh.

[Lonewolf]

Admins are aware of the 502s... it's not us, trust me.

Please continue to report, as needed, for necessary feedback... thank you.

[BooBootheBear]

Ah joy.
500 Internal Error.

How I have missed thee....
