    I'll let the office know.

    Bear in mind that like pretty much every other company at the moment, boards is also working with a reduced presence of office staff and developers. Be patient while they get it sorted.

    Thanks all, it's a known issue but should be rectified by refreshing the page a couple of times. It's on the list of things to be looked at but I can't say when that will be.

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

    Not really sure how to explain this but I'll try.

    This has been happening for a while.

    Whenever I try to click in to a forum from a thread, it always loads up the thread from x years ago,

    I.e
    On the my threads page.

    CORONAVIRUS IN WATERFORD.
    Posted in : waterford city

    If I press on 'waterford city' here, it shows posts from 17 years ago.

    To actually access the most recent in that forum, I'd have to open the CORONAVIRUS thread and then press on the subheading 'waterford city.'

    Other than that I'd have to search in the search bar for Waterford city.

    So no shortcut to forums.

    Using the mobile site on android.

    Probably not a huge issue.

    Thanks.

    I do follow many other threads/forums , I'm not obsessed with all things Waterford, that was just the easiest example to give.

    This is happening to me. Is it some kind of glitch?
    What does “clear your cache” mean?

    In settings where you can clear cookies and search history and all, but just do cache

    Hi folks,

    We are aware of this issue and looking into the cause. Typically, refreshing the page rectifies it and displays threads in the correct order. Sorry for the disruption and inconvenience.

    Having similar issues, also cleared cache and different browser etc. When I open a thread on mobile it gives me a 404 error.

    When I look at the URL the link pointed me to it is something like https://touch.boards.ie/thread//post with no thread or post no details in it. Working again now so can't get the URL exactly but something like that. Being doing this for a few days for me.

    Not sure if that's any help but thought I'd share with mods.

    Thanks

    Niamh the touch site is unusable for the last week.
    What are we paying boards for with a service like this?... O wait, it's free :D:D

    Thanks!

    Registered Users Posts: 5,184 ✭✭✭This is it


    Seema to be getting worse and worse. It was happening on the odd occasion, once a day or so. Now it's almost every forum I go to. Refreshing 3-4 times isn't even working now, sometimes I'm actually getting even older posts. The touch site is almost unusable at this stage

    Having the same problem too. Cache clear does nothing. Making the site unusable at present.
