I keep getting this screen, increasingly over the last year. Is it just me?....or is there a sinister plot against TVF?

 

 It could be, I suppose, that TVF is a victim of its own success, and needs to invest in some hardware!

Nope. It's affecting many of us to a greater or lesser extent. Several threads on the subject.

 

It appears to be worse for TOT users, the temporary work-around is to use a VPN to pretty much anywhere outside Thailand although Oz seems to work best for many.

Unfortunately those of us at the sharp end have zero control over the software chaps, we just report the issues and wait (and wait and wait) for a fix or at least a response.

 

If "sometimes" is really every single time then there's something else awry (it does happen for me, but on rare occasions). Try clearing cookies, try a different browser, even a different device.

I understand mods have 0 control on the problem

but there is no one in charge of the forum somewhere?An admin maybe?

What is the problem? It's a money issue being cheap on the techs and the server's choice?

As an user of the forum i have already to keep ''remember me'' active when i log in

(Even if it's not recomanded for shared computers) if i don't want to be login out after few minutes

then i need to log in with password 2 times (3 times today) after the first time ending with a message error

''sorry you do not have the permission....''

then most of the time it's a 522 error

the last time i used a VPN, iit was coming with a nice virus compromising few files in my computer

despite me using antivirus. so never again with the vpn option

so what? i have to find another forum? i mean one which is working normaly?

Shooteth not the messenger ????

 

Browsec VPN - Free VPN for Chrome

 

Gives you 4 free VPN.

 

Slower than the 2nd coming AND E 522.????

I have found the clue to all this E 522 lark. Having tried several times this morning to put a post in and failed. Have decided to give Thai Visa a wide berth till they sort it out. If everyone does the same, they might do something about their site. I don't need a reply as I'm now signed out and gone.

I've tried VPN  to several countries, makes no difference. It's definitely worse in the morning and I suspect worse on "attractive" topics.

If using TOT having a VPN may not be enough if you have a slow connection.

It does not appear to matter which topic you are trying to open.

Not in the way you are thinking. The site is hosted by the company that creates the software therefore, TV have no real control over the hardware and little to none over the software (they can install 3rd party plugins, which bring it's own problems as the host don't offer support for them).

Not aware of the plan they are on but given the traffic, not likely to be cheap. The techs and servers, as mentioned above, are outside TVs control.

That is not very good. That may be the reason for the 522 errors.
