Goodreads Librarians Group discussion

What's up with the site? This is the second day in a row that I'm having problems trying to do book searches. Is it a temporary thing? Is it a problem from my end?

Any help would be appreciated.

I have no insights, but it's not just you.

You need to contact support for technical issues. But yes, it is excruciatingly slow in all respects.

Thanks for the info. I was afraid it was at my end. Frustrating, but I'm sure someone's working on it.

They are conducting "maintenance."

OK. That makes sense. I shall temper my frustration...

Chiming in to say that the site has gone from "excruciatingly slow" to "book pages straight up will not load whatsoever." I occasionally got through to a book page earlier today, but I've been trying to open book pages all evening and it's giving me a long load time for the error 504 page every time.

Yes, I am still frustrated. This is the third day of hit and miss whether you can open a page or not. (more miss than hit) I wish the people running the site would at least give us some kind of an update on when things will start working again. I too have had a long wait for the error page multiple times today. I think it's getting worse?

This specifies that combine/separate aren't available, but if they're doing maintenance on the site, I think we're likely to see some erratic behavior. From the system, I mean. 😉

Book pages appear to be back up, but combine is definitely down, per Dobby's link.

Thank you for posting the link Dobby. I have not attempted posting any combining or anything else for the librarians to try to do if we can't open book pages. This morning I was just able to open a page on the first try. Yay!

I'm finding the page loading slow and lagging again. Are others having the same issue?

Very much, yes.
