Technical Issues - TPU Main Site & Forum (2025)

I had server timeouts and general unresponsiveness for about 5 hours already. Is it just me or is TPU in the middle of something?

Upd: it's just my ISP. Works flawlessly via my cellular carrier. Will fight my ISP, 'parently no reason to fix anything on TPU itself.

But @W1zzard, please check if my IP is blacklisted. ISP are telling they have no trouble reaching TPU.

Upd2: after a whole night arguing with ISP, I only learnt they got no control over the situation. Is there ANY way the route to TPU could be changed for me? The site is down for me 99% of the time for more than a day at this point.

Use a VPN, use your phone's internet. What do you get when you try to ping TPU? when it's working and when it's broken.

That's inconvenient. I meant what you can do on your side to change it.

This is what I'm doing right now but it's inconvenient. I wanna have direct access and I'm willing to invest myself if necessary.
So both can reach TPU just fine. Send me the IP for which it's not working in a PM, maybe I can find something in the logs
 
Hello, hopefully this is the right discussion section, I am a guy who loves modding/tinkering drivers and related apps to it, unfortunately I have come to realize that new update came out crosses the 10MB limit. So it is not possible for me of uploading file on the main post attachment section.

So... it there any kind of possibility to increase the limit for my main post only? and if not... can I use external site that provides direct download link to be posted on the main thread? the site that I am willing to use is CatBox - https://catbox.moe which I mainly use it to share direct links that doesn't expire for public use.

Thank you for this amazing forum :)
 
Any chance this can get fixed at some point?

EDIT: Maybe I should've posted it in the Dark Mode Feedback thread...

Sadly not for me, though. If I may be blatantly honest I would definitely prefer default mode to be light mode instead of having it follow the system. Light mode seems to work fine, unlike dark mode.
Most people, at this point in time, disagree with you. However, you can switch back to light mode with a simple click.
 
The "reply" button gave up. Is it just me?
 
If you can find it... ;)

There are 3 places to change it? Which just happen to be pretty Web 2.0 standard places. Lmao

Here it's black on slightly less black, much like the inputs for username and password. Makes it *slightly* harder to find. Anyway, I seem to be the only person having this problem, so I'll continue typing in my username and password blindly. Luckily, I got to set up the theme in my settings, so after login all is right.

By the way, one reason to default to light mode is that the main site is also light. It's a bit weird to change that to dark for the forum, just because you happen to use your OS in dark mode.
