Whenever I open a thread, be it in a new tab or otherwise.. the text always starts out as LARGE and only goes to normal if I go "back" and then back into the thread or if I refresh the page.

Anyone else experiencing this or is it just me?

I think someone mentioned it once - Mimi, perhaps? Logging out, using the link on the login page to wipe all the board cookies, then logging in again might well sort it.

Ah excellent, that seems to have worked!

Thanks! :hat:

Is the forum being flaky for anyone else?

Yep. And the branding keeps going every so often.

Give it a kick.

About 80% of the time for me. Downforeveryoneorjustme thinks it's fucked, too.

Yep. It wouldn't load recently.

Yeah, it seems alright now.

I was getting that earlier today (afternoon time), assumed there was a temporary problem because it seemed to fix itself.

So, a bit of a weird one. The forums are working fine, except I can’t click on one particular thread. The ‘What Have You Bought’ thread link goes great but doesn’t open. How am I going to find out when someone buys chicken nugget Tetris now?!

Post subject:  Re: I have forum problems

There are a couple of threads where I've recently noticed a 2-4 second pause before it loads, and that's one of them.

Post subject:  Re: I have forum problems

Huh, you're right. Do the other ones that don't load fast also have a lot of pictures in? I think it's doing a lot of math to resize them for phones.

The other threads are like lightning. It's probably not as much of a boast as it once was, but this is almost certainly the fastest PHPBB board that exists :D

Post subject:  Re: I have forum problems

I may have been stupid, it might just be that one, but it's often in different place in the list :DD

The "pictures of things I saw roost walking" seems to have a marginal delay, but YouTube and Lego not.

So, yeah.

Thanks for making me clear it up for myself mimi :D

Post subject:  Re: I have forum problems

Oh, you’re right. It does load after a pause (though the pause for me is about 14 seconds). I had obviously locked away from it earlier.

I’d not noticed it before yesterday, but now the delay is very pronounced. Would it be worth locking and starting a fresh one so you think, @Grim...?

I'll take a look tomorrow.

Post subject:  Re: I have forum problems

Such a massive "works eventually" difference suggests a client side problem I guess - spamming downloads of all images at once so connection limited?or the same but CPU/browser limited?

Ah, technology. Come the apocalypse you'll be second against the wall.

Try standing back a bit from your screen or holding the phone further away.

For ages now, I’ve not been getting any notifications of updates to threads. Last time I tried to change my email address I never got the confirmation message so couldn’t sign in again until I asked Russ or Mimi to let Grim… know.

Is there any logging that shows an error or other problem? I’d like to try updating my email address again but don’t want to get locked out.

Oh yeah, it hasn't sent emails for ages, sorry. It's actually AWS's fault.

It's on the list of things to tackle.

It loads really quickly for me. Funny that. :DD

Threads are loading... "Differently"... Now. Is that you fixing this? Because it does seem to have fixed the picture heavy response delay.

It's kind of odd having the page "zoom in" as pictures load large and shrink down to fit width, but I'm not sure I don't like it. Feels futuristic in an 80s way.

Post subject:  Re: I have forum problems

Go to that thread and navigate to page 76 and see if that loads slowly still, because I have a feeling that it’s one particular page that loads slowly and the thread has improved since it turned to page 77.

It’s the Tetris nugget!

Post subject:  Re: I have forum problems

Page 76 loads slowly, for sure but I think there are upwards of 50 or 60 megabytes of images in that one page

Post subject:  Re: I have forum problems

Oh yes, so it's some unrelated change. Maybe a Chrome update.

Is that a lot more than on most of the other pages in that thread? Is it one particular image that’s huge?

For the whole of today, when I’ve pressed ‘submit’ in a post it has taken me to a page that says the page is unavailable, so I have to press the back arrow and submit again. It always submits on the second try.
