    No value in a few having access to boards because they've cleared cookies or some other tweak. There'll be nobody to chat to!

    This needs to be fixed for all by a fix (or multiple fixes) by the boards technical team.

    Also, any new users (since the slowdown) are not going to stick around.

    Not your ornery onager

    No major problems loading pages but what I am seeing is

    Clicking linked images just doesn't work
    Some forums are coming up with pages from 15/16/17 years ago (bargain alerts for one)


    Using chrome on Android.
    Probably a database issue, linked uploaded images also fail, as well as last opened page in forums out of sync.

    Using boards touch site via chrome on iPhone. It crawls on pages with jpegs for me. If I click on the jpeg, it hangs and never loads. Sometimes crashes out of site. If the picture is embedded, things seem to work better.

    You had me going there for a few seconds :(

    Loading linked attachments (embedded pictures) still totally fails for me.

    At least this thread has confirmed it's not my fault, and I don't need to get a new phone (which I was starting to convince myself of)

    Sounds reasonably easy for the Boards.ie IT team to fix?

    Here's what I did - laptop, chrome.

    Deleted browsing history, ran CCleaner as I normally would (cos it always gets what is left behind after deleting history) https://www.ccleaner.com/

    It's flying along as normal. I see others say it's back anyway so may be a coincidence.

    There is probably a common feature that is creating this loading problem. But it doesn't apply to me using old Chrome ie 47 desktop and 53 android. The database old posts issue is happening on touch site, along with odd thing, the speaker icon appears for a moment when I click a page. No other site prompts this action. Odd.

    Incognito bowser page on the phone, which worked perfectly for two days for me, has given up :(

    Hoping the tablet with chrome, which I haven't yet tried, is still ok.

    Any update from HQ?

    The site is unusable the last 3 days, I presume today will be the same.
    When exactly are you expecting this to be fixed?

    Abysmal still. Touch site/Chrome browser/Android.

    On 1st May I was told the nodes are under strain causing slow load times and unresponsiveness. They also said they didn't have a time frame for when they might get it fixed. So not holding my breath for a better experience.

    Edit: glasso fix has definitely improved things.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    Can't see how it's overloaded nodes at 2 or 3 in the morning.
