I was logged out soooooo many times in the last 10 minutes. I was also 503'ed about the same and I didn't have permission to post for a minute and I was logged out and in at the same time for a moment, which was interesting, but I don't think I would like to go back.
I'm glad the broken image for a name dropper badge has been fixed somehow. I sense wild magic here (first in breaking this image and then in fixing it).
My biggest issue is simple logging out when I try to load up a new page. I haven't had any 503's, and nothing else seems to be troublesome. Although saying I'm having very few problems is asking for it just as much as dancing in front of a dragon while wearing a dress made of meat...
Today I can't go to 2nd, 3rd and so on pages of my participated discussions - every time I click on them, I still get the 1st page of my participated discussions.
There's another problem happening today: after you attach an image, a thumbnail is broken, so you can't see the image you've attached.
You can still insert it into your post (the image will work just fine) and delete. To check if your image is there (in the post), use the preview button.
Been a while, but I just got that screen with the picture of the server bank when I tried to load a page... Things seem to have been running a bit slower for me in general lately too... Hopefully this is not a sign of things to come...
Ahh. The screen claims they are doing maintenance... Shouldn't last too long in that case (if that is the case).
The forums website seems to have some issues with the Beamdog bar at the top of each page for some time, as you can see in the screenshot. It started when Beamdog moved the forums from forum.baldursgate.com to forums.beamdog.com. Is anyone else experiencing this?
@argent77 I'm trying to duplicate what you're seeing but I'll need some more details...
Which browser/version are you using? As @Troodon80 mentioned, it could be a matter of clearing your cache.
Do you have any anti-virus software and/or browser plug-in's that may be interfering? Try turning them off temporarily to see if that makes a difference.
I keep getting logged out, no matter which link, or which computer I login with. It's frustrating when I visit the forums on alternating computers all the time!
Problem solved. After fiddling a bit with my firewall settings and browser add-ons I was able to fix this issue. It was probably an issue of blocked external content on the website.
Good to know, thanks @argent77. I'm going to move some of the site scripts around to avoid external script blocking, for those with beefed up security settings.

@BenArledge just FYI. Same experience as @argent77 , two differences though. In https I started to see this left column before your domain name change and the top bar problem was fixed without any change on my side (probably a couple of hours ago). Ah and yes only memory caching, Firefox Private Browsing.
Another humble comment. You may want to reassess the use of encryption. Forcing encryption on the sign in process is fine, especially if the beamdog client shares such credentials with the web forums (cannot remember). However I doubt there are benefit from extending it to the whole site. At the moment, beyond the first page, the system serves a mix of encrypted and unencrypted elements anyway. And if you confirm your decision to use encryption, don't you want to buy and deploy a certificate with your own certified name?

Also 503'd while posting this comment!

Time to start exploiting the F5 button.
I don't think I've ever seen this before.
