Hi all,
Vanilla are planning an update to the site on April 24th (next Wednesday). It is a major PHP8 update which is expected to boost performance across the site. The site will be down from 7pm and it is expected to take about an hour to complete. We appreciate your patience during the update.
Thanks all.

What is wrong with the site? (Please read updated post #1)

    For me it seemed to all be sorted out on the following day the 2nd and has been fine since.

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    I don't know to be honest, it seems to happen on threads with a lof of gifs in them but that is not what would have happened with a new post Grem. What exactly was happening there, were you getting an error on touch when trying to post?

    Nope it's the same as others have complained of, not possible to get to the newest posts, sometimes clicking on latest post might drop you three pages back, I'll screenshot next time I spot it, business or content of threads don't seem to be a factor, they are frequently visited by me that's the only common link I can see

    Often the only way I can get to the newest posts (Netflix recommendation thread particularly bad) is by switching from touch site to the full site. This has been going on for months. We have the nice new icons in the top right of screen now though, so, swings and roundabouts.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Is there more ads on mobile in the last week or so? Or is it that I'm just seeing them more now than previously?

    Still slow for you today anyone? Will get one of the lads to have a look if it is.

    Dulpit, there aren't any more ad units than usual on the site however we may have been displaying some blank ads/no ads on occasion which we are rectifying at the moment.

    Good morning Niamh.

    No issues this morning. It was only a bit slow when I tried to post but just by a few seconds. Nothing major like the occasional blank page last night :)

    Dear Boards. I would gladly tell you what is a bus or a bike or a train or a bus.
    But if the pics are 2x3mm big on my shagging phone, I can only guess.
    If I was a bot, it would be easier.
    And do I REALLY have to complete this stupid captcha every three bloody clicks?
    It's getting annoying.
    Thankfully, when I click back and another link, the captcha mostly goes away.

    So, top tip:
    Annoying captcha?
    Click back and try again. Mostly works.
    Because it popped up again as I clicked "Edit" on my post.
    Grrrrrr
    I'm willing to bet there's HTML code there that's 20-30 years old

    The captchas are from Cloudflare rather than direct from Boards. Occasionally depending on traffic Cloudflare will increase security for accessing the site from various areas. It usually cools off again after the danger/issue has passed.

    I keep getting this pop up. I accept all cookies and Lo and behold I’ll open boards and the popup comes up again.

    Be great if it would stop reverting to the touch site too..

    Hi Slideways,

    My first impression is that a cookie isn't being set correctly. Could you clear any Boards related cookies and load the site again - it will prompt you to accept cookies and direct you to the touch site, but you should be able to navigate to full site if that's your preference, accept the cookie notice there, and hopefully browse normally then.
