What is wrong with the site? (Please read updated post #1)

Hello everyone. I'm back form 2 week's holidays today, only to arrive in and find that an ESB substation has popped somewhere around the South William St area and so we've been sitting here with no internet connection in the office for nearly 4 hours. When it rains, it pours, eh? OK, so the site has been, to use the…

Yes, lots of blank pages when i try to go to a new thread, or quote and reply.

'Go to first unread post' takes me to a few pages back also.

Okay, weird stuff now happening (like the fact I can't reach the final page of this thread so I'm typing blind) - pages are not loading unless refreshed a few times.

edit - I see I'm late to this party!

We're getting the blank pages here too and are looking at that first. We're also seeing the "last unread" links are somewhat out of whack and loading old content, so that's on the list next.

Me too. Hitting refresh, sometimes 2 or 3 times brings the page up. Seems totally random which pages are affected.

In the view single post view, clicking the link at the top right-hand corner would normally bring one to that post in thread view but now it's jumping to a random page.

Problems logging on on the desktop version this morning- error "Error: Unable to parse JSON data......."

Note- manage attachments also hung just now........

I can't open any attachments- including the one I posted earlier- and am getting blank pages perhaps every 3rd or 4th link I follow (aka about 60-75% of pages load fine- the others just are blank- no error message or anything- just blank......)

I don't know what's gone wrong with it, we thought it was sorted. It's back on the bugs list now though, thank you

Fixed yesterday, and broke again today.

Seriously? You think the guys in the office are sitting there scratching their holes instead of sorting out this "major" bug? Sure maybe they could just drop everything to do with the new site that they're working on to sort this out for you because clearly it's causing you major stress. Some people need a large dose of perspective sometimes. I don't often use it, but rarely has this been so appropriate. :rolleyes:

Of course not. But it's a workaround while it gets fixed.

The attitude taken here is seriously fowl, it's not major issue and ah sure paddy we don't need to do anything about that. I know I'm not a subscriber and I certainly won't become one, considering the attitude from mods an Admin that I shouldn't even report the issue!

I wasn't overly annoyed about it, but it is a feature of the site I like.

I agree, apology accepted.

Nobody said you shouldn't report the bug, but when you post something like this:

over what is an incredibly trivial issue with a feature that most people wouldn't look at from one end of the year to the other then it is hard to take your complaint seriously.

Your attempts at humour are very unsatisfying.

I reported it, 6 times, that is taking the piss. Of course yano, you shouldn't have any bother being an admin and all and we should all just shut up and use what is of the site.

I agree it is a small issue, but your post is basically denouncing that it should be fixed at all!

And the attitude in your posts displays a lot of what is wrong with the internet these days. Keyboard warriors with an over-inflated sense of entitlement and delusional grasp on their perceived right to post what they want while displaying a spectacular inability to grasp the realities behind running a site such as this.

As far as I am concerned, if it is bothering you that much, go find another site to moan about.

Any more jip from you on this thread and it's a ban from Feedback for you. So keep it constructive, our you're outta here. Consider this a warning.

And you think that because.......I reported that an aspect of the site was broken and wasn't being fixed?

The "If you don't like it leave" is a very Irish solution to a problem. I'm perfectly happy to stay, I'd just be happier with the issue fixed:D

Also, Ban me if you wish, then we can talk later and discuss this maturely.

No, I think that because you reported an issue six times.

To be fair, it was not like I reported it hourly either. Isn't it the ethic of general consumer welfare, report it so often as to get it fixed, but not too often as you become downright creepy?
What I will hopefully take from this is a working "Post of the day" function.

And be glad I haven't posted about it not working today, at least not yet :P
