Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Had my first error today since the node issue...

Additionally, the whole site is as slow as God's horse today. I'm talking two years ago levels of sluggishness.

Aye, got a DB error when trying to access feedback. It's slow for me as well, but the 'page generated' bit is all under 1 second. The entire page to load just takes awhile.

Got this a few times today.

No settings file
No settings.php file was found. Please copy the file ./sites/default/default.settings.php to ./sites/default/settings.php and make it world writeable. Alternatively you can copy the file to a location according to the multi-site configuration instructions.
After that reload this page to continue installation.

Dog slow for me this evening.

Top menu loads, and the boards logo, and then it hangs for what seems like an age (in reality a couple of minutes).

It seems that boards both UK and US are no longer immune to the vagaries this site experiences either.

Adverts OTOH seems to be OK.

I'm having the same problem as roundymooney. Boards.tv is the taking ages to load as well. The status bar says 'waiting for ads.boards.ie' for ages and also 'waiting for googleanalytics' as I think. Also if you go here http://boards.ie/vbulletin/subbed.php there is no problem whatsoever.

There's no quote button as well except on you own posts. You can't reply to pms either. If you subscribe to forums and threads check the link I posted above, 'tis very handy when using this theme.

I think ecksor posted it up in a feedback thread related to search a while ago. It's really handy for finding threads you posted in but are in forums you never go near.

"static.boards.ie"?

It was indeed, and "ads.boards.ie".

I also got an infrequent "waiting for boards.ie" message (FF)

This is like Usenet all over again.

(smileys don't work here either, or maybe they're just not visible).

You don't need to install it. Just go to the drop down at the bottom of the screen and change it to mobile. I really shouldn't be telling people this, would have made getting the last post on the 3am cuckoos nest thread a piece of piss.
