When I log in and choose next page the site goes to page I click on then instantly goes back to current page. What gives?Same here on my iPhone but sight work but slow with iPad. Not sure what the issues are as I turned off all security on the phone to try and it still will not work when I click from the front page to go to a city and forum.
When I log in and choose next page the site goes to page I click on then instantly goes back to current page. What gives?I had the same problem, but noticed some sort of pop up alert regarding the website. I googled it and got the fix. If you go to Settings, then Safari, then scroll down and turn off the fraudulent website warning, it will fix the problem.

Is the site under a DOS attack? Over the past several days I often get the database error page instead of content.
Is the site under a DOS attack? Over the past several days I often get the database error page instead of content.
I've been having the exact same issues that last week or so. I haven't seen any admin posts about it or I'm looking in the wrong place. The site is acting like it is backing up all the time.
Edit: It took me 7 attempts just to get this to post.
Kinda feels like it. Or there has been an unnatural interest level.
I'm not one that pays attention to the site history but I recalled yesterday seeing the "Most users ever online was today".
And now today it's a new record "Most users ever online was 24,706 on Today".
If tomorrow, you see the same thing with a bigger number, I feel that's the hint that something is going on.
Same here. For the past couple of weeks I've been getting sent back to the database error page. I see that page many times throughout the day for couple of weeks.

Could be capacity, could be the db connection, lots of things, but it doesn't seem like an issue with reachability.

Of course until an admin posts something, it's all speculation.

A new highest users record hasn't been achieved today but it does seem to die the more it gets over 15 k. Mainly over 20 k. (Screenshot is from yesterday).
I can't do anything about it, it's just a curious thing. Like if it is an attack, I wonder who got mad suddenly haha? I tried googling some stuff but doesn't seem like there's anything obvious where someone wants to take credit for it.

And I think you're on to something with the user count. It is below 5 digits now and suddenly I'm only getting DB errors every three clicks instead of constantly through the day. Have the admins said anything about this yet? Do they post anywhere like Twitter with site status?

Someone did email an admin, apparently it is an attack after all.

But it seems May 2024 there were also issues, but this week was worse at least for me unable to load a page using Firefox or Chrome.
I contacted admin about the site's recent unavailability / issues and got this reply:
We have been fighting off an AI driven DDoS attack out of China. Our guess is it's most likely some NGO that hates commercial sex. We are deploying a solution today we are confident will end it. We have been getting fucking blasted with millions of server requests per hour for days.
Hang with us, we will get it, tell your friends it should be over soon.
Thought I'd pass this info on for those wondering what the cause was. Kudos to USASG techies for finding a solution.
Based on my experience, the ddos attack is still a going concern. The ISG was down for a while today too.
Any insights or updates are appreciated. Thanks.

On one of the Boston forums, someone mentioned an issue with CAPTCHA and VPN not working. I could confirm I had an issue, but I just switched the server I was connected to, and everything worked as expected.

Site is working now just accessed it today and a new page popped up with a captcha and some internet service named "imperva".It seems to be basically working. But I've noticed that some computer \ browser combinations don't show the check box.

It seems to be basically working. But I've noticed that some computer \ browser combinations don't show the check box.This is what I found on Bitdefender's site. Same thing but with a different company (Incapula instead of Imperva) I'm not tech savvy enough to understand most of it.
Based on my findings, Incapsula is a web security and content delivery network service that protects websites from various threats, including DDoS attacks, malicious bots, and other cyber threats. It acts as a security filter between visitors and the website, analyzing incoming traffic to determine whether it is legitimate or potentially harmful. If Incapsula detects suspicious activity, it may block access or require additional verification to confirm that the visitor is a real human rather than a bot or malicious software. So, the message you are getting is not from Bitdefender. The antivirus doesn't find anything malicious on your device because there's nothing there to find in the first place. The message you're seeing suggests that Incapsula has flagged your network traffic as suspicious, possibly due to one or more of the following reasons:
If you use a VPN, proxy, or dynamic IP address, Incapsula may consider your IP to be associated with bots or automated traffic.
If your IP was previously used by someone engaging in suspicious activities, it may be temporarily flagged.
If you send multiple requests to a website in a short time, Incapsula may assume it's bot traffic.
Also, Bitdefender, uses HTTPS scanning and other web protection features that intercept and inspect traffic. Incapsula (like Cloudflare) might see this inspection process as an alteration of the request, triggering some security measures. Now, there are a couple of things to try that may help you get rid of that message.
First, if you're using a VPN or proxy, disable it and try reloading the website. Then, go to your browser settings and disable any unknown extensions (IF your browser has suspicious extensions or if a s. C. are. I. p. T on your network is making automated requests). Move on to cookies and cache and clear them, as corrupted or flagged cookies may trigger verification. In Bitdefender, you can also turn off the "Encrypted Web Scan" feature temporarily, to check if the website loads properly. If it does, then you have your culprit. "Encrypted Web Scan" can be found under the Online Threat Prevention module.
Finally, see if you can access the website from a different device or network. If the issue is isolated to your PC, it may be software-related. Restarting your router may also help.
That's all I can think of right now. But please do let us know what worked for you.
Probably a part of the new security measures but forum kept giving me.
"Wrong username or password. You have used up your failed login quota! Please wait 15 minutes before trying again. ".
On my first login attempt (different physical location though) and ones after that. Using a password copied from a file. Same method as always, same that just now worked. Hopefully this was just a one time thing.
On the VPN note, I don't bother with VPNs much but while I had this issue I did try one as an alternative. Didn't get past the security measure from one area, but it did work from another region.

The UN and password I'm using is always correct because I use a manager.

I am having this issue also. It is intermittent. Doesn't seem to make a difference if I clear browser cache and cookies or not. I get the captcha and then when I try and log in. Nope. I am using Firefox for what it's worth and turned off all extensions and add ons.
I tried to log in with Brave Browser, and it told me my info was wrong. Then I tried with Edge, and I got in. In both cases, I did not get the screen where I had to check a box.

This morning, I failed to log into the site on my laptop using both the Brave and Edge browser. Later, I logged on at my desktop using Brave with no problem and no check box. The first time I tried to post this note, I suddenly found myself logged off, and unable to log back on.

Same here, Having same issues here couldn't get on earlier today, logged in to the captcha Ticked the check box, I used chrome browser first and then tried edge browser. Got logged out again with same message you have put in a wrong username and password etc. You will be logged out for 15 minutes. Tried again a few hours later and got in. So don't really know what's going here, been like this for a few days now. Spent about a hour yesterday trying to get on. Today about half hour.
After a day or so after my previous post, it had actually done well. But it just occurred again, so I guess it isn't resolved yet. I'd be really disappointed if I was trading information in PMs right now though.
BUT, while this sucks, it's still better than the site going down every few minutes haha.

The past couple of days I haven't had any issues. I use Edge and I just type in U and sometimes the S and it recommends the forum page for my home city. I hit enter and it the page has been loading. I stay signed in so haven't had to enter my password in a while (last time I cleared my history).
I did notice this down below this forum: "There are currently 2223 users online. 379 members and 1844 guest. Most users ever online was 24,706, 05-14-25 at 04:45."
24,000 users on at once is quite a few users, I'm guessing that is when they were being attacked.

Seems to be a lot of problems getting on this site nowadays. Couldn't get on google chrome. Then couldn't get on edge browser either. Went on to duck duck and go browser bingo. There must be something that's blocking us, probibly the new captcha thing. Logged out again then tryed to log in again, you will be logged out in 15 minutes. This has been happening for the last few days since the captcha thing appeared.

This has been happening for the last few days since the captcha thing appeared.I'm expecting to get logged out any second.
Since the captcha update, I've been getting what seems like random password logon failures. I use ios password safe. So, user entry errors should not be an issue. I get the same message that others have mentioned.
I'm worried this might be a spoof attack, prompting me to "change" my password but I'm just giving it up along with my email address.

The reset password was just a big circle that did nothing. Finally today, the system did give me a new password. When I went to change to a password of my choice, it failed. So guess for now I'll use the assigned password.

Like everyone else I've experienced theater problem with the falsely stated username and password message using multiple browsers and devices. I finally clicked the stay logged in box and haven't had the issue again so far.
Probably no need for a new topic, so I rather bump this one.

This is probably as close as I'm going to get if I want to actually submit this post, because if it is maintained from last time it usually dies over 20 k.

Anyway, I'm not having that issue but I have read around that it is due to the new SSL certificate update and you'll still need to stay on http only (http://www.usasexguide.nl/forum/showthread.php?37918-502-bad-gateway&p=7431301&viewfull=1#post7431301) as I have been to avoid the issue you are experiencing.
There was an admin edit I had seen over someone's comment in some random place where he left an update saying they hired a developer. Here is that comment (http://www.usasexguide.nl/forum/showthread.php?3390-General-Reports&p=7407736&viewfull=1#post7407736).
