Site not reliable making posting difficult.
After posting several puzzles on Puzzling Stack Exchange they began to introduce intrusive and frequent pop up ads. It was so annoying that I left.
Now on Codidact, I am beginning to experience a similar issue, site reliability. This is so frustrating that I question whether I wish to continue here.
Example 1:
Several times (and on separate days), I have received error messages like the one below while trying to post a puzzle:
Example 2:
Another error message occurred when I tried to respond in a comment thread:
Update:
I logged out, cleared my browser cache/history, and rebooted my iPad. I then logged back in. Unfortunately this did not resolve the problem.

Ironically, I got one of those "Failed to save draft" message while trying to answer one of your questions. The site had been very slow, so I thought it had something to do with bandwidth, timeouts, and the like. I went away for a while and things were better later.
This felt a lot like when the site was a victim of a denial of service attack some months ago. There were some changes made at the time which seemed to have a side effect of messing up your stored data. That eventually seemed to get fixed, but similar problems like this still pop up occasionally.
I'm not web developer, so I can't say what the exact mechanisms are, but this feels similar.
