Weirdly, I am getting the download issue on my work PC, but not at home or on my phone.
Between tedium and fright
Such is the song of the nether world
The hissing of rats
And the jarring chants of angels

Same here - clearing my browser cache worked.

The issues with people having php errors or being prompted to download PHP text files rather than then executing properly should hopefully be resolved within the next couple of days.

Just a quick note to say I'm still getting that error message above and having to clear my cache every 2-3 days in order to load up the forum, so not sure what's up with that :/

I've enacted the temporary fix that seemed to resolve things last time.

When the hosting contract comes up for renewal in Autumn I'm likely going to try and move the site to a new provider though as these issues are starting to aggravate me.

Well, if you will go with a company that straight-up says they're back to front! :lol:

Just had a few minutes of not being able to load anything, and my browser downloading an empty file instead.

Pointed cURL at the server and noticed the content-type was wrong – it was showing something like the internal "application/x-httpd-php" that should never be seen, instead of "text/html". Dunno if that's helpful for Mantis to know…

Try clearing your cache.

Given I was seeing the problem using cURL on the command line which has no cache, I don't see that would really make a difference? Unless browsers are caching the crap response after it happens and leaving people stuck…

I get that fairly often. Solution is switch to iPad :p

My experience yesterday was that it was totally broken across multiple devices, perhaps there's multiple issues at play here.

Unless it takes you a handful of minutes to dig an iPad out, in which time the server's sorted its life out. Correlation/causation etc.
