Issues with Victron Community

Hello Community,


Apologies but we are currently having some issues with the site.

Specifically, when trying to upload images it gives an error message "Parsing response failed", and some 504 and 403 errors when loading pages. It would appear that this is due to a persistent denial of service attack from a botnet. The immediate remedy is more aggressive captcha bot protection, sorry about that, I know they are annoying.


It is now strongly recommended to use new community site that is currently being tested at https://victron.discourse.group


The modifications section of the community has been using it for little while now, and their feedback has been invaluable. So now seems like good time to expand the test.


Please try using the new site here: https://victron.discourse.group

I cannot use any new browsers because my computer is to old.

It is a pity I will not be able to participate in this new community. :(

You mean on this community.victronenergy.com site right?

Yes, I get that too.

I would suggest moving over to https://victron.discourse.group

Can you explain how this attack looks like, and what "site" is "under attack"?

Hi @Guy Stewart (Victron Community Manager)

Is it possible for you to transfer all our history to this new site?

Unfortunately not. Some of this was addressed in the announcement referred to above.

There will be an archive at some point of the current forum data, but from a user perspective, it is a new account with no previous history.
