MakerWorld Down

Was checking in with MakerWorld this morning and noticed some very strange behavior in the points transaction area. I was seeing income points from other users accounts. Also, the number of pages of transactions kept changing. Then a refresh and an error page. Then a maintenance page. Now, a Cloudflare is causing the problem. Before the current Cloudflare error page I was suspecting a ransomeware attack.

Did anyone else experience this progression of events with MakerWorld?


…And we are down, appears to be on cloudflares side of things.

Yep, the same is on MakerWorld’s page. Cloudfare is claiming " a loss of power impacting data centres while simultaneously failing over services". As someone with a seventeen-year career in a fortune 50 IT company, I find this explanation curious. For data centers (plural) to have loss of power at the same time would be very unlikely unless they were not very “distributed” OR they suffered a cyber-attack that gained access to their power management systems. Either would be concerning for a company like Cloudflare

hopefully down because they are adding a darkmode :grin: :sunglasses:

Yes, I saw it also.
Since the site came back up, they have all been removed & things are back to the way they were.

Waiting for a dark mode as well…
But the buttons for messages seem new to me. Did we just get them? - Says no connection after clicking though.

Random profile:

I was able to get it to connect 1 time today, but didn’t try and message anyone. I’m assuming they are working on it. Something else I saw they added recently was this:

But it appears to not be ‘clickable’ at the moment.

Another thing I noticed, model authors can now remove (set private) a print profile that has not been set as “print tested” by the profile owner.

Also the T un “Untested” is capitalized for some reason

On new profiles this works

That profile looks familiar :eyes:. Annoyingly I don’t get a notification that you set it to private.

Yeah you can put it back, I was just testing. Otherwise I’d remove them all lol

fr i need that, bc my eyes be burning with that bright backgrounds
