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?

ā€¦And we are down, appears to be on cloudflares side of things.

Yep, the same is on MakerWorldā€™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 ā€œdistributedā€ 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 wellā€¦
But the buttons for messages seem new to me. Did we just get them? - Says no connection after clicking though.

I was able to get it to connect 1 time today, but didnā€™t try and message anyone. Iā€™m assuming they are working on it. Something else I saw they added recently was this:

But it appears to not be ā€˜clickableā€™ at the moment.

Another thing I noticed, model authors can now remove (set private) a print profile that has not been set as ā€œprint testedā€ by the profile owner.

Also the T un ā€œUntestedā€ is capitalized for some reason

On new profiles this works

That profile looks familiar :eyes:. Annoyingly I donā€™t get a notification that you set it to private.

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