Board Game Arena

I want to file a bug, but first I want to search to see if someone else has already filed it. However, whenever I try to search for a word in all reports, at https://boardgamearena.com/bugs, when I click Search it takes a few seconds and then displays a red error bar at the top that says:

> Sorry, we didn't manage to process your request fast enough. Please retry. If the problem persists, please report a bug. (reference: M6 26/04 16:02:36)

Are other people having this problem too, or is it just me? Is this a known problem?

That happens to me sometimes. It usually seems to fix itself after a few minutes.

It has been happening consistently for more than an hour, but useful to hear that it happens "sometimes" to other people at least.

Anyone know if there's an existing bug report about it?

Actually I may have misunderstood. If you search bug reports for all games, it does time out, probably because there are a HUGE number of reports and games.

If you put a game name to filter first, then the search is fast and works by keyword, at least for me.

Oh, okay. In this case I really do want to search them all, because it's not clear to me if this is a BGA bug or a specific game bug, so seeing if people reported it for other games would be useful. But you're right, it looks like even though there is an "all reports" option, it's just broken and cannot be used at all. Guess I'll file another bug about that, if I don't find one someone else has submitted...

Just happened to me right now, while attempting to play Altered TCG
