Today we have noticed a slowdown of the site that has required an emergency DB maintenance to fix. We have done that as soon as possible and it has resolved the issue but during the operation, the site has been unavailable for a few minutes. We are sorry for the inconvenience!

We are currently investigating this issue.

On the 21st of August, between 8:02 AM and 8:03 AM PDT, we had an invalid configuration of CDN that caused problems with accessing the site. If you have been on the site during that time and have clicked on links on it you may still be affected by a problem with accessing some pages. The problem symptom is that instead of the requested page a page with the address "https://fetlife.com%28null%29/" shows with an error as it's an invalid address. An exact error depends on your browser, for Google Chrome it's "This site can't be reached (...) DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN". If you are still having this problem with accessing some pages on FetLife, you need to clear your browser cache for a time period that includes the time of the incident. Please see our article that provides info on how to do that here https://fetlife.com/help/how-do-i-clear-the-browser-cache . If after following these instructions you are still having issues, please report it in the FetLife Tech Support group here https://fetlife.com/groups/693 . We are sorry for the inconvenience and we have taken steps to prevent such issues in the future.
