Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    Since yesterday evening there have been a number of times I have been unable to load pages on the desktop (the last one a few mins ago). It probably needs reporting via Site Development, but I guess will probably get quicker attention(/feedback!) here anyway....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,751 ✭✭✭✭degrassinoel


    yeah it's been really slow for me too, afaik it's being worked on - at least that's what was posted on twitter last night anyway

    No need to post elsewhere, we're well aware of it - Chris is on the case :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,451 ✭✭✭✭kneemos


    Been dropping out quite a bit lately as well.

    Another thing is a lot of links aren't working on touch lately for some reason.

    Getting loads of '404 Page Not found' pages today with this message, when using the touch site.

    Once upon a midnight dreary,
    while I websurfed, weak and weary,
    Over many a strange and spurious website
    of 'hot chicks galore',
    While I clicked my fav'rite bookmark,
    suddenly there came a warning,
    And my heart was filled with mourning,
    mourning for my dear amour.
    "'Tis not possible," I muttered,
    "give me back my cheap hardcore!"

    If I do successfully make the post, it then shows the thread with me credited as the last poster, but then when opening the thread my post is not there. Or my post is there, but the member before me credited as the last poster.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,024 ✭✭✭✭Baggly


    My followed thread notifications are updating and saying there are new posts, but when i click into the relevant threads, there arent any new posts.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,389 ✭✭✭NachoBusiness


    I don't really want to, but if it gets any worse, I'm gonna have to go outside.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,381 ✭✭✭✭Allyall


    I keep getting notified I have a PM, when I click it, It says invalid link.
    NachoBusiness posted a new post on the ACDC thread, when I click that, it doesn't exist, then I have a new PM..

    Endless loop..

    Time to sign out until late I think.

    Lots of little problems today.

    Followed thread notifications but no thread updated.

    After Hours homepage resetting to an hour or so ago.

    Posts disappearing and reappearing.

    Threads resetting to hours ago too.

    Spooky!


  • Subscribers Posts: 19,425 ✭✭✭✭Oryx

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,664 ✭✭✭MrWalsh

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 38 SmilesInMass


    Phew, was worried it was just me. Really touch and go on mobile. Threads not loading, posts coming then going again.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,074 ✭✭✭pmasterson95


    I get notified of new posts but when I click thread there is no posts visible

    Getting the posting issue on the full site as well on my Android device.


  • Subscribers Posts: 19,425 ✭✭✭✭Oryx


    Its getting worse, threads are now loading empty.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,664 ✭✭✭MrWalsh


    Some of my posts are just "pretending" to post.


  • Moderators, Regional East Moderators Posts: 23,229 Mod ✭✭✭✭GLaDOS


    Ctrl + F5 helps in terms of loading posts/threads. Having to do it on every page at this point.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,756 ✭✭✭flyingsnail


    I am also getting the pages not loading or only loading half of the posts, I also cant quote it just comes up blank and I have a constant notification for followed threads but there is nothing there.

    Yep same here, pages load but are missing posts from the last few hours, a refresh usually works.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,487 ✭✭✭✭Alun


    I keep seeing a thread in bold in My Forums indicating a new post, and then when I click on the little arrow to go the latest post it goes to one that's a good few hours old. Scrolling to the end of the thread reveals there is in fact no new post at all. Been happening all day.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,389 ✭✭✭NachoBusiness


    Back to normal here. Cheers.


  • Subscribers Posts: 19,425 ✭✭✭✭Oryx


    All good again. I can stop twitching now.

    Thanks folks, it should be back to normal now.

    Seems to be a delay between new posts appearing in the list and actually appearing on the site.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,451 ✭✭✭✭kneemos


    Aw lads.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,424 ✭✭✭Ciano35


    The touch site is acting really weird for me, not showing latest posts, posts disappearing, threads not found...

    Getting lots of 404's and disappearing posts on the touch site


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 98 ✭✭Polly Sonic


    It's all over the place for me on the touch site too. The last few pages of some threads are missing.


  • Registered Users, Subscribers, Registered Users 2 Posts: 47,336 ✭✭✭✭Zaph


    Not seeing any 404s, but seeing a lot of disappearing posts and threads not refreshing properly on my PC.

    Same here.

    Threads are saying there's new posts but when I click on them posts I've seen already are coming up.

    Seems to be a disturbance in the force again...


  • Moderators, Education Moderators Posts: 26,403 Mod ✭✭✭✭Peregrine


    Not getting any 404s but loads of posts and PMs disappearing/reappearing.


  • Subscribers Posts: 19,425 ✭✭✭✭Oryx


    Every second page load is a 404 at the moment. A reload fixes it.


  • Moderators Posts: 24,367 ✭✭✭✭ChewChew


    M.boards a bit wonky too


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,602 ✭✭✭Damien360


    seeing problems on touch site, and on full site via chrome.

    Followed threads will show 5 forums but when you click any of them it drops to zero as I have read all my followed forums. Once a post is placed in any of the last five, the number of followed forum threads jumps straight to 5. When you click on any one of those it goes to an old post first and not the current one. Always jumps to same post when you exit and return.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,833 ✭✭✭✭ThisRegard


    I get the 404 every time I post. (edit, but ironically not for this one)


  • Users Awaiting Email Confirmation Posts: 489 ✭✭AngryDiMaria


    Getting 404's, no latest posts and when I click latest posts again I get posts from 5 days ago.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 80 ✭✭Boards.ie: Chris


    Sorted

    It was that hamster with the dodgy knee wasn't it?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,763 ✭✭✭✭thesandeman


    They really shouldn't let Dav cover the weekend shifts on his own.
