What browser(s?) are you using, as I've not encountered this issue at all via Chrome (PC) or Chrome Mobile (phone)?
I know it shouldn't make a difference, but if it's not affecting everyone...

I am using Firefox, should be the latest one as well. It happens now and then. For instance I could look through the new topics and topics I've previously commented on without a problem, but it then just suddenly jumps to the site that Mad Lord Snapcase has screencapped. It has decreased in the past few days though!

I've had this happen twice today; once trying to view a topic and just now when attempting to log in.

Twice for me as well.

Once clicking on a thread and once clicking "reply" right here and now.

Had it twice also, once when I went to go to the next page and another when I tried to answer a post

I don't get the cookies thing (possibly blocked by an ad-blocker or pi-hole), but I do get, and have just had, a completely blank page.

Going back and retrying cleared it, but the site has been sluggish again the past couple of days, coinciding with the return of the blank page  :(

Yep, I got this repeatedly for a period yesterday evening - but went away after a bit, and seems fine again this morning. Would suggest checking something around DNS settings at the server end?

DNS at service providers end - not likely LAF server/site itself - as your requests are being redirected before getting to LAF if its the same type as before.

I not had any issues so likely distributed DNS service of some sort and its had some "issues" again.

I not had a problem for a while... I see with a couple quick checks some service providers timeout in some regions currently, but that varies and only a few places - mexico/ new zealand etc, but other providers are fine in those regions so - variable

There is an issue with Data Storage, the IT guys at Wargames Illustrated who host the site on their server, are getting it fixed.

First time for me, couldn’t get onto site after 8pm, just straight to cookies site.
Looks to be OK again this morning.
