I have had problems accessing the forum over the last two days; I find myself now able to access posts. My ID stated that I "didn't exist", nor could I access anything on the forum. I went surfing the forum in circles, Under the settings section there are 12 different IP addresses (some internal beginning with 10, others with 81, 82 and one 193).This leads me to think (ask) of the following:has the forum been hacked?is there a data breach?have I done something wrong or posted stuff that is objectionable?(as mentioned elsewhere) a bug with CloudFlare (as I get the occasional 502 bad gateway error)?is it bugs or errors in the forum software?is it a Windows problem?am I being stupid?all/none of the above.If it were bugs or errors in the software, I presume they have now been fixed as I can now make posts again. Any comments, help etc are welcome. Cheers.

"This place is slowly disintegrating ... " Nah, for ‘slowly’ read ‘quickly’.

The strange thing IMO is that while some of the original defects do seem to have been addressed, they keep getting replaced by new ones.As I log in just now, the notification bell shows new notifications and, when accessing it, it shows every single notification has been reset to unread.'Fortunately' a further long time defect means that clicking one notification resets every notification as read.I have also noticed that when I click on a notification (e.g. for a 'like') it shows me a certain number of replies above the post (9 in the example below)but when expanding the topic there was actually only 2 real replies on the topicI have noticed something similar in the past where viewing the topic when not logged in does not show all of the topic replies unless I log in, when everything is shown.With a known set of issues it is usually possible to find workarounds but, when the problems are ever-changing, trying to use the forum is just an annoying trial of endurance trying to get things to work.

trying to use the forum is just an annoying trial of enduranceExactly this…

It is indeed and is why I post less on here these days. It must also be a pain in the backside for VM staff as well mind.

Problems for me today - "Unexpected Error" refresh page - Internal Server Error, and the link to return to Community Forum does not work ... This place is slowly disintegrating ...

Well this 10. thing could be an experiment for Ipv6 mapped to some 10. to server so that servers don't need to be IPv6?

Have not experienced these particular issues for a while but I now seem to have come full circle back again to experiencing

I am struggling to think of any piece of software or website I have ever used previously which has been quite so glitchy and bug-ridden as this forum is.

  Yup same here. It's tempting to blame VM but it's probably Khoros. I wonder if any other community forums are on the same version and seeing similar.
