Launching Vocal's Status Page & An Update on Platform Performance
Keeping you informed, every step of the way.
Transparency and clear communication are essential parts of our commitment to you. To better serve you, we've launched the official Vocal Status Page—a centralized place where you can quickly check real-time updates on platform health, performance issues, maintenance, and outages.
You can bookmark our new status page here: status.vocal.media
Currently, we’re addressing a DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack impacting platform performance and accessibility for some users. Our engineering team identified the issue quickly and has been working continuously to resolve it. While we've already significantly reduced the impact, intermittent disruptions may continue temporarily as we fully stabilize the platform.
We sincerely appreciate your patience and support during this time. Your trust and your creative experience remain our top priorities.
Thanks, as always, for being part of the Vocal community.

Nice idea. Shame you can't be bothered to update it from time to time.
Vocal and myself were having glitches at the same time. So I totally get it. Life happens in-between the good parts and bad parts. Together we will overcome.
Hi Justin, please when can we expect an end to the constant 'are you a robot' tests? Thank you for all the fixes already implemented, but please look into this.
This has been down for two days with absolutely no announcements. Not too impressed
Thanks for the update I actually thought, Maybe because of phone that I am using I don't know that it's generally issue
Hi Justin, So sorry to do this in the comment section, but I don't know where else to reach out to you. I just wanted to flag the fact that I have not received a bonus for my Top Story today, titled "I have a Pen-Pal." Please let me know when you've seen this comment - I'll happily reach out via email if possible, or if need be, report this formally somehow! Thank you for your support! Red
whats wrong my stories are stuck on awaiting preview
The Vocal reader app hasn't been updated since 2023 and it stopped working, it can't load stories, it can't even login anymore,I can only use the website.
Thank you for the upgrade and keeping us inform. Justin@Vocal. I will reshare.
Is this verification thing going to be a permanent thing? I really hope not as traffic today, on Vocal, has been very bad. I usually get a healthy amount of organic views from outside readers but since the verification started I had only 19 reads.
This has really been inconvienant. I tried to google translate a piece to Turkish and it was important and it stopped me everytime. :/ I hope you don't plan on keeping that verification thing. It's not working at all for me and my needs.
Thanks for giving us a status page to check. It is helpful to us, and your ticket desk, I imagine. We can check here first before opening a ticket.
when this problem will be solve
Thanks for your ongoing efforts!
Thanks so much Justin.
Thank you for letting us know what's going on! As a matter of fact, I was blocked from Vocal for some hours and I actually freaked out. But, thankfully I got it back. I hope this "Confirm you're a human" gets fixed. I'm tired of it. C'mon Vocal, ask me to turn my camera on and see if I am a human or not FOR ONCE. It's so depressing to check that box every other minute. "I am a HUMAN", please....!
Thank you for keeping us in the know. Hope we’re all up and running soon 🙏👌
Is this problem also effecting the withdrawal system as I'm facing some issues with it ?
Thank you for the transparency, hard work, and keeping us updated and informed!
I still think you guys need to work on making " books " or " compile" option for multi-story'd things so we can group stories together for a chapter book if need be.
The Vocal platform is currently not accessible without a VPN and I can only use it through a VPN.
Appreciate the update Justin, thanks. I was concerned about my account in the last few days as it kept kicking me out. It's reassuring to have this new Vocal status page. There's nothing worse than being left in the dark.
Thank you for all the work you put into this site!
Thanks, Justin. Appreciate you taking the time to keep us informed.
Thank you for your efforts on our behalf. ⚡💙⚡
