This status page may need some updating , it shows

"Messages & Notifications โ€” Operational"

But its far from operational. 

Just want to make sure someone at upwork still knows it needs fixing

Hello, I submitted a job proposal earlier, but due to a glitch in the system, the attachments I included were corrupted, so I had to withdraw the proposal. Would it be possible to get a refund on the 2 connects?

Hello Friends,

 

I got noticed some of the Upwork services are down. I hope it will be back OK soon. 

Moreover, your connects have also disappeared?

I've been working for at least an hour. The tracker was taking photos, but when I look at it, it still says 0:00 time worked today. In my overview/reports, the time is also missing. It looks as if I haven't worked at all today.

 

I need to finish something for a client and have about 8 more hours of work ahead of me today that I need to do ASAP, but I can't continue until I figure out how to fix the tracker. It's online, and I already tried restarting it.

 

Help! Getting the time back that I've already worked is also important, but more important at the moment is getting the tracker to work now.

Hello

During the last hour, I periodically observe -1 connection in my profile. Moreover, there are available connections on the account. Also, in the process of sending an offer to a client, I received several errors, after which 3 files with a size of 0 bytes were sent in the attached files. I think I lost a client because of this.
Perhaps this is due to the unstable operation of the site in the last two hours. I ask support to pay attention to this, because the service for sending messages to support is also not active.

Whenever I click a job posting, i get the same message:


Access denied

This job is private and can only be viewed by admitted freelancers.

Please go to our home page.

Why am I receiving this?  Did something change?  I haven't done anything wrong, have not violated the terms of service, nothing.  Why am I getting this for every job posting??

If you're Upwork admin, please contact me.

All morning I've been unable to load the upwork messages

 

Both in Chrome and in Edge, I get the same behavior. It tries loading for a minute then just gives me an "Unable to load messages" screen - seen here:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/tm3rzz4hv3jzw0f/upwork-fail.jpg?dl=0


The upwork app is barely working too - it finally loaded but is disconnected / reconnecting every couple seconds.

This is pretty serious as I have important conversations with clients to be had

I have a reply to a proposal I made in my email inbox but I cannot load my messages on upwork and therefore cannot reply. All aspects of the website work as normal for me just not my message inbox.

 

Any help would be great because I cannot reply to my potential client.

same problem, I cannot reply to my potential first client. I don't know what to do now.

I'm unable to load the messages in my account, other parts of the platform work perfectly. I made a ticket about this a while ago and the support just said to check the WebSockets and closed it. I opened it on a new browser and it worked there but now the same issue happened there as well and I can't keep opening new profiles for browsers each time this bugs out I need a solution. Inside you will see why is going on and what errors I'm getting.

I've been having the same issue for a few hours now. Messages aren't loading, contracts cannot be opened, the mobile app is mostly down. Using a different browser, clearing cache etc. has no effect.
I also have a client waiting on a pending contract and can access neither the contract nor the docs.

The whole site is jacked up. So many random errors. Either something serious went down or they got hacked.

Hello - I am getting the same error message - I've cleared cookies and everything and tried a different browser. I'm trying to pay a person through Upwork to do work but keep getting the error message "We're sorry, please try again later." 

 

Can you fix this for me?

I have the same problem. Also I can't find the support contact page anymore, it just shows the support bot, which is useless. Looks like the site gets worse with time, but there are other freelancer sites as well.
