Strange, no slowness for me at all.

No posts from The Saturday Night Show for last Saturday showing up? Unless there weren't any? Which would be very odd as apparently it was the most cringe show yet for Ray Darcy and was widely reported in other media sources . There's usually loads .
Mmm ? I'm a bit puzzled ?

Can't edit posts on the full site. The edited post is reposted as a new post.

OK on touch site though.

That is an on-going and known issue for new people with under 25 posts.

Just to clarify, it's a restriction that has deliberately put in place by boards.ie as a spam prevention measure.

Red penguin anti spam measure

Blue penguin posts everything twice

Was logged out a few moments ago and had a hard time logging in (page would not load) but seems okay now.

Getting smashed by a DDoS again?

GLaDOS · 27-10-2015 06:59PM

General performance is fine for me, though avatars in the floating menu are borked again. Think that preceeded the site struggling before.

One or two threads I had posted in my posts have now gone.

This has happened to me too, wasn't sure if they had been removed but I can't see that they would of been as not controversial or anything ?

Nodin · 30-10-2015 07:46PM

Any chance of an update from those in the know?

Gongoozler · 30-10-2015 08:07PM

Yeah things are gone back to being a bit mental here

The_Valeyard · 30-10-2015 11:23PM

Very slow to load the website in mobile at the moment

DareGod · 31-10-2015 04:12AM

The site has not been loading properly, 90% of the time, for me for the past 3 days.

Sometimes DownForMeOrEveryone says it's down for everyone, sometimes it says it's just me.

The homepage tends to work but if I try to access a forum or post it just hangs.

It can't be just me??

Yes same with me, it would seem to take ages to load and often I'd give up, I was starting to think my phone had got slow or something !

Glad it's not just me so.

Give it a week (or two) and then someone will come on telling us we're asking too much and make out it's our fault somehow, and they're working round the clock to fix it.

:rolleyes:

Some folk on this thread won't be happy until Boards say they're not doing a tap and are just arsing around the office shooting the breeze.
Saying they're working around the clock, which they very likely are, it's just all in the background (maybe ask them for a video of it?) - the horror!

When has it been said it's users' fault or too much is being asked?

Depends what machine/device/browser I use - mostly grand on laptop and phone, woeful on PC. Extremely slow, or loading but not fully. Chrome is the worst browser for it.

Presume it's still the DDOS issue - must be a nightmare for Boards.

KERSPLAT! · 31-10-2015 07:12PM

No issues at the moment on touch or on the desktop site using Chrome.

Upgrade flash plugin wanted here also

martyos121 · 01-11-2015 01:13AM

Just started getting the same on my iPad, using the app to post this because the site is giving the pop up every time. Other websites doing it too though, odd.

01-11-2015 01:16AM

Getting the same here and trying to download an EXE file from a server! Looks malicious.

Getting that too, what the hell

Tigger · 01-11-2015 01:33AM

stranger that its happening on ios
running scans etc

01-11-2015 01:34AM

Any time it happened with me on iOS, if I cancelled the download, an Energia ad appeared on the top of the page.

martyos121 · 01-11-2015 01:37AM

Well there's only one explanation:

Boards has become self aware.

I'm having a problem with double posts. Anytime I edit a post of mine I get it.
