    You crazy people. It was said days ago not to click on 'Quick Reply' because it will give you a double post. Does anyone read the messages anymore ? and that was days ago. I'm not being an ass, but it was said so many times to not click on quick reply as you will get a double post. Just use the main reply feature and then you won't get a double post, simple as that.

    In one ear and out the other :pac:

    The thread is 87 pages long, and the search function isn't working. I think it's reasonable to expect people not to see every bug message.

    The reason why I said it is because it has been said on many many threads for days, not just this one. It's hard to miss. No biggy though :)

    Performance is all over the place- its zippy now- but pretty much unusable a lot of the time (including at 7.30AM this morning). Also- having trouble trying to login on touch (but desktop seems to be fine- I've tried a few different gateways- all are similar).

    To the lovely folks at the help desk who got back to me via email when I was freaking out over potentially losing my account:
    THANK YOU! I was so certain this account was banjaxed due to being linked to my old defunct email but nope, problem was swiftly sorted and all is well. Thank you so much! If I knew where to send one, I'd bake ye a cake! :D
    A cake! :eek:
    Sure that's what we are here for (helping, not eating cake :D). Please, please update the email address on your account though and that goes for all the other users who emailed a similar story - it can be done here when logged in: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/profile.php?do=editpassword

    I tried to log in a few days ago and it told me my account was locked and to reset my password. I know this happens when you enter the wrong password too many times but I didn't enter it incorrectly at all. This hasn't happened since.

    Is this a known problem?
    Yes this was a known issue but should not still be happening now. It had nothing to do with your password and your password should be back working now. Which I'm guessing it is as you've posted :)

    Clear your cookies on the browser, try your most recent password. If that doesn't work you may need to reset your password. HOWEVER. Password reset emails are not working at the moment so if that is the case you will need to reset when logged in from elsewhere or email hello@boards.ie for assistance.

    How can I? User's guide to some features on the new site

    Completely impossible to access the site on touch (4G). Stuck in an eternal captcha loop. It was fine on WiFi earlier. cache cleared, b-static visited, endless captchas entered, nothing works. Are foreign 4G carriers banned at the moment?

    If you're outside of Ireland, then yea, you're going to be subjected to a lot more checking - this is something we will be able to relax as we've got more workable data about the attacks etc. Yes, it's a massive pain in the arse, I'm really sorry, but there's no easy way to ease these restriction and maintain the protection CloudFlare offers.

    I'm in Seattle. And i'm absolutely okay with CloudFlare. If thats what it takes to defeat the ddos.

    Having to click the b-static link to get the full html site to load is far far more annoying.

    I just clicked on 'Search this forum' - I was brought to the bottom of the page, fair enough. I typed the word I was looking for, and I got this error message:

    'In order to accept POST requests originating from this domain, the admin must add this domain to the whitelist.'

    The url read: http://www.boards.ie/search/submit/

    Hi guys

    I'm unable to upload images to a post:

    I'm attempting to upload .png...I get a 500 error when it seems to complete.
    I return to attachments list and it appears to have uploaded.
    But when I click the url to image nothing shows up.

    This post for example.

    Images don't show up for me.
    Site looks like HTML code with very basic graphics.
    Everything is tabbed onto the left side..like webpages from 1998.

    This is how I see the site through 3 different computers and 2 different tablets using a variety of browsers.

    Am I the only one ? or is everyone the same ?

    Site is pretty much so ugly that I've been avoiding it as trying to navigate it isn't worth my time.

    So the workaround there, right click on one of the broken images, it'll take you to a site called b-static. You'll have to do the captcha thing again, then go back to boards.ie and refresh. Should sort most of it out.

    Doing my head in though. I have to go through that every time I visit the site. Captcha to access the main site, then go through that for the image server. And because there are multiple image servers, have to do the same to all of them.

    This new fangled cloudflare thing is annoying, constantly prompted to enter the code right after I've entered countless times. I can only access boards now after turning WiFi off.

    I can only assume its picking up the high number of "members" from where I work as a problem. Which is rather absurd.

    Cloud Flare comes with a whole load of add ons. It really depends on what extras boards have and their configuration.
    It may need relaxing when the danger has passed.
    Ive used CF both privately and commercially for a number of years without any issues.
    I reckon its to do with the lock down procedures to protect the site rather than CF itself.

    I've had no issues today on the touch site.:)

    Today was a real challenge getting onto boards.

    My 26 Captcha's attempts did not work on Chrome.
    Finally got through on MS Edge after another round of waterboarding (many Captcha's). Then I got the malformed pages, before going to static.net for another session of Captcha's. And finally I'm in.

    But now all my 'boards' time has been used up and I have to go back to work.
