Anyone getting "page could not be found" errors?

[Cerber]

Does anyone get random errors of "page could not be found" when making a post, a reply to thread, etc?

If so, please send me a DM, with as much information as you can,
- url of the topic on which error occured,
- date and time when it happened,
- your IP address, which you can get by opening this link https://ip4.me/

I'm trying to track down some mysterious issue, or a bug, which I can't replicate myself, for whatever reason, but periodically other users keep running in to it, some more often than others.

Thanks in advance!

or if it so happens that even DMs not working, please send email to admin@occultforum.org

Haven't had random errors of unfindable pages, but I get a 10 second verification from time to time.

That part is normal, sort of. It's a bit disruptive, inconvenient, but it allows forum to fiction properly by keeping horde of bots out. Since they coming in waves of tens of thousands, pulling IPs from a pool of ~1 million or more, from all over, blocks on IPs is not workable.
On calm days verification process should last only a second or two, and should show up only once a day or so. But on days like today, when bots are swarming at the entrance, verification will take a bit longer and will be a bit more frequent, unfortunately.
We're just having bad weather today, it's raining arrows outside.

Thanks for that, might come in handy if stuff starts to freeze up!

Since I was likely the original culprit here (with all those DM's), I'm going to go out on a limb and say: it now "seems" to be working "normally" again!
I tested with multiple "replies" and almost as many DM replies, not even a "cough" now! Thanks for the hard work and troubleshooting!

It happened once or twice before, months ago, but issue disappeared as quickly and as mysteriously as it appeared, without leaving any useful footprints in the logs, so I've been chasing that bug ever since.
It's an old place, comes with few naughty ghosts and spirits hiding in all the machinery
