    The site has been running pretty smoothly this evening, are things back to normal now?

    Morning all, the team had to make some changes late last night which should have improved things for you. If you come across any new issues please post them here.

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

    One of the database slaves was out of sync as far as I know from my non-tech understanding of it. It's not an issue specific to weekends, just no one about to catch it early on the weekends I'm afraid.

    Hyperlinking to this post- brings me to postid 3767 (about 20 posts or so earlier) on this thread. Also getting an abnormal number of Cloudflare checks (which are passing- but there are a lot of them).

    Edit: Also- after posted- my post doesn't show up- but if I hit refresh- it suddenly appears.

    To me, it appears that one of the servers in the cluster has stopped syncing with the others, so this means that if you end up on the "stuck" one, you're seeing a snapshot of Friday.

    While if you end up on the other servers, you get the current posts.

    Sounds like I was close with my WAG as to what the issues was. :P

    The full site is still stuck on a Cloudflare loop, though.

    What does stuck on a loop mean? I had 2-3 seconds of Cloudflare checking my connection and that was it (on 3 different connections). Are you getting stuck on that specific page?

    I got the cloudflare followed by captcha on my tablet earlier, took me about 6 or 7 goes to get past the captcha - not sure if that was me being thick, or a glitch with it :(

    “You missed that bus in the background of that photo. AGAIN!”

    (Honestly though I think captchas aren’t that smart aren’t they used to train machine learning?)

    Site seems to be working fine again but until when? The next weekend or bank holiday when there's nobody around to firefight?

    Only a machine could consistently pick the frames with traffic lights/buses/cars etc. And does an extremely small portion of a bus count, or not. Sigh.........

    It can be difficult enough on the mobile to pick out what kind of machine is in the picture.

    I know it's a machine but I'm kinda guessing if it's a car, a boat or a bicycle on a pavement?

    Can I ask why must new members have to have so many posts in order to give an opinion ?


    That seems utterly stupid, surely new members opinions on feedback also matter,
    Surely new members should be encouraged, not slapped down

    It's not for discussion here, but I will point you to this sticky

    Feedback was closed for some time and one of the ways we managed to get it back up was to stop some of the re-regs having free reign in here. Posters who have not been on the site very long are not in a position to provide site-wide feedback in this format. They can, however, post about any issues they have in Help Desk

    Just to re-iterate, this is not for further discussion in this thread

    The Boards App for Samsung Android hasn't been working for the last few days. Is this part of the same problem or something else?

    The boards app is no longer being supported.

    The app doesn't work when Cloudflare kicks in.

    I've been informed that this is most likely from Cloudflare, and is captcha related and also a false positive.
