Off-topic - "503"?

[agnes!]

I posted on a pre-existing thread on the "Technical Support" Forum, but the CB is much more frequented than Tech Support, so am asking here...
Has anyone else who is running an iMac with Safari browser suddenly having issues with mutliple "503" hang-ups today? When I use Firefox I can read, post, whatever, but now when I am using Safari, I get a "503" almost every. single. time. And this just started today. I cleared some of my disboard cookies (I vaguely remember someting about clearing cookies helping on an old TS thread) but that hasn't helped.

kthanxbai,

PS - Am using Firefox to post this.

I have a Mac. It happens to me all the time. Clear your cookies and it should stop (until next time).

But why did it just start today all of a sudden? If I want to read the posts at all in a thread I have to use Firefox... and the forums do come up, I just can't see or post in a thread if I'm using Safari.

Thanks for the reply mickeyboat, nice to know I'm not alone.

I'm using Safari on an iMac and have not had that issue, so I think it must be specific to your system today, not a general Safari or Dis problem.

I get this all the time, on my phone, on the DIS, only.

I know at this point it's probably the cookies on my system and not an issue that everyone is having, I'm just wondering *why* I only have this "503" problem with the DISboards.

How many other vBulletin forums do you visit each day, Agnes?

I was having the same problem yesterday using Internet Explorer.
