Replies are very slow. I've discovered that if I post a reply and it's slow to load, if I just click back onto the front page the reply posts anyway

Sometimes when I click to see all my posts I get zero results, not all time, my replies are taking ages and sometimes coming in double post's, I assumed it was DDoS or something going on...

Just use the main 'Post Reply' button and it won't duplicate. It's like last time, if you use the 'Quick Reply' it will double post, so just use the Main post Reply button. It only took me 4 seconds this time to log in today for the first time using firefox browser.

Double posts aren't the only issues. So far today I've had posts taking 60+ seconds to submit. Cloud fare errors. Database errors. Issues uploading image on touch. Loading times seem very slow too

The waiting has made me a little more zen. Well, as far zen as I'm likely to get.

Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

I've already highlighted it but hitting 'responsive site' while using Touch on Chrome is causing issues. Have done this by mistake on my main device (sorry, android) and have had to use incognito since, just did it on another android device and it's now the same 404's. Going incognito solves same.

Oh boy, going to poke the tech guys some more today and see if we can get everything straightened up again. Sorry about this and thanks for your patience (though I know in some cases that's like the On Hold voice saying the same and you're on the other end of the phone pulling your hair out )

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

HOPEFULLY the duplicate post issue has righted itself - will be keeping an eye out, but if you see duplicated posts from today, please link them.

Ronan is having a look at these missing posts on Touch site now.

Im only getting Error 503 Backend fetch failed when using the legacy site. I had to <shudder> switch on the responsive site to navigate around. Got a little sick in my mouth when the homepage loaded.
