    Nah, I've been having the same problem for ages from Asia. Cloudflare is just set up wrong and boards.ie haven't fixed it.

    Just reclick links if it seems slow and it resends the request and works.

    Is it a simple fix for boards to do ?

    This is the wrong forum I think, but I can't find where to report inappropriate ads. Canada dating:

    On my phone so screenshot attached.

    I don't know how that got in there... of course, there are no Canadians on Boards.ie

    Inappropriate ads thread here, with instructions on how to report these ads to google

    It's the size rather than the content.

    Not sure if this is the thread to raise it- is there any issue with PM's at present?

    Sent two in the last fortnight or so without any acknowledgement

    May or may not be related to the above, but the last couple of PM's I got came through, but the email notification for them came waaay later (like, a week or so).

    No issue with PMs themselves at the moment but as the user below has pointed out, notification emails for some people are being delayed so they may not have received notification of your messages right away.

    Unfortunately a known issue that we will look into as soon as we can, thanks :)

    Oh I meant that the people you sent messages might not have received a notification so unless they were logged in anyway and noticed the PM, they might have missed it.

    Is the search function acting up?

    When attempting to search for a user (to pm), and clicking on the name that appears under user, the system simply freezes instead of directing you to their profile or any of their posts.

    Every time I go on boards, the cookie warning comes up. That’s fine, I guess. But once I hit ‘okay’, boards.ie switches over to the touch site. It’s very irritating having to scroll down every time to switch back over to the full site. And sometimes it happens again during browsing: cookie warning —> touch site. I’m never going to use the touch site and this feels like an attempt to foist it upon people, hoping they’ll give up making the switch back to the full site.

    I’m having the same problem. Getting the ‘Accept Cookies’ box appearing, I accept & the site changes to the other version. While I’m navigating down to click ‘Full Site’ the ‘Accept Cookies’ box reappears.

    Used to get the cookie request/version change thing happen maybe once every couple of weeks, has something on the site changed recently?

    Try the "save and exit" option instead of "accept" ?

    Switching the site version is not intentional so I will pass this info on the be looked at, thanks.

    Not that I am aware of but there may have been an issue with the site at the time you were trying to find the user. If it is still happening, please let me know.

    In order to click ‘save & exit’ I have to go into ‘cookie settings’, scroll to the bottom of that page & then click ‘save & exit’. Tried it now when the cookies box appeared anyway to check your suggestion but it’s just adding more steps to the whole process AND the site version still changed & a second cookie box appeared again while scrolling down to click to switch back to the full site.

    This cookie box/site version switch thing was happening to me before Niamh, but I was only getting the cookie request box appearing maybe once every 3/4 weeks or something. Having it happen at least once per day recently is a noticeable annoyance & the double cookie box thing started at the same time as the daily cookie box change. I haven’t changed any settings/software etc on my device.

    Then it must just be my chromebook, because it's still freezing anytime I try to use search for a forum or username.

    Thanks TherapyBoy.

    I deployed an update.

    The next time you are logged into the full site on your phone, can you click "Cookie Settings" in the footer to launch it, save your settings, and let me know if you still get redirected touch?

    Discovered the problem, this happens when I only 'save & exit." If I click "accept' on the new cookie box, then voila, search works!

    I get similar. Using Edge I cannot click in forum when I used the find forums search window, clicking it nothing happens.

    Some notifications are delayed at the moment so it may be a PM that you already read a day or two ago. Sorry about that.
