ProZ is becoming increasingly unusable.
These days, being able to post or even write a reply seems to depend on sheer luck. You never know whether the page will work properly or whether your post will actually go through.
I managed to post something just to test it, and it worked. But I’ve now tried the same thing with a few other threads, and the page just goes blank, without giving me the chance to write or reply.
This is getting seriously frustrating.

Oh, it is working! (just luck)
I've seen similar issues on various sites, like parts of pages not being loaded, and was wondering if Cloudflare and other security tools could be the cause.

I agree on both counts. I seem to be able to reply today, but I couldn't yesterday, so it's a lottery.
And the latest poll question had closed before I had a chance to answer it.
And Cloudflare appeared (again) when I clicked to compose this reply.
And when I clicked on the "Agree" button to support Sandra's post, nothing happened.
This site is gradually disintegrating (or being taken apart).

I wanted to make a small edit to my earlier post, but all I got was a blank screen.
So I tried to make an additional post - again a blank screen.
Yet for some reason, quoting somebody else's post seems to work (today).
So it's totally random whether anything on the site works or not. Brilliant!
By the way, the reason for my edit was to mention that the "Agree" button was working again - but for how long?

What I find particularly concerning is that this seems to have gone beyond the issue of occasional bugs.
Bugs happen. No platform is perfect. But when users can no longer be sure that they will be able to post, reply, edit a post, or even access certain pages properly, among other problems, this becomes a reliability issue.

Bugs happen. No platform is perfect. But when users can no longer be sure that they will be able to post, reply, edit a post, or even access certain pages properly, among other problems, this becomes a reliability issue.
And once reliability is compromised, trust starts to suffer.
A professional platform like ProZ depends heavily on user participation. If people repeatedly find technical problems, they may start posting less, participating less, or simply stop considering the platform an essential part of their professional lives.
And just take a look at how many members have left.
People don't necessarily abandon a platform overnight. Sometimes they just gradually stop relying on it, stop participating, and eventually move elsewhere.
That can lead to something much more serious than technical problems: a loss of credibility, relevance and, ultimately, trust among the very users who make the platform valuable.
In my opinion, this is no longer simply about fixing a few bugs.
It's about whether ProZ can remain a platform that its users actually trust and rely on.
