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.

    Are you in forum view when this happens? Does it also occur in thread view?

    Have you tried going through the usual tests / fixes - clearing cache, incognito mode and/or a different browser? What OS and browser are you currently using?

    Just a heads up that some maintenance will be performed in the early hours of the morning, so there might be some disruption between 5am and 9am. Hopefully nothing too major and fully operational to help you get through the work day :D

    I'm getting Setanta ads popping up on the mobile site. I thought first I had accidentally clicked an ad but there's no Setanta ads on the page and it's popped up a few times.

    Is this happening on any particular thread / page? What URL does it direct you to?

    If you've been having issues with the scroll bar not being available in the dropdown menu we've implemented a fix. If it doesn't show for you, please clear your cache.

    If it's of any use to you, folks, someone suggested to clear the cache and to log in again. It's worked quite well for a number of users (myself included), but the issue with the invisible/disappearing attachments still remains. The search function is still unstable, too, but the speed of the rest of the site has improved dramatically. Worth a shot.

    Same as that. I just logged in half an hour ago and the average amount of notifications would be about 10 -15 but I had almost 30.

    Looks as if An Post were delivering them as they were a few days late :pac:

    No update on the old posts issue I'm afraid, we're working on keeping the site up and at a regular speed first. When we have an update we will let everyone know. Sorry for the inconvenience and irritation.

    The old posts issue should be fixed now - it's temporary fix for the moment so may come back at a later stage. In the meantime, we're working on a more permanent fix for it.

    Funnily enough, if you're on the full site on your mobile (Android phone, Firefox browser) but do not select "desktop site", the search works and there are no 503 messages. Anywhere else, and it's 503 galore.

    I'm another who can't log in.

    Eventually everyone is going to get locked out by cookies or because the software log in request gets triggered by a separate bug. Then boards dies. Or they fix it!

    Yeah, can't log in on my PC because of the 503 error, luckily my laptop is still logged in. But when my browser updates I'm screwed if this isn't fixed.

    I'm getting 503 errors when doing the following

    1. General search (It works ok when selecting a forum)
    2. Searching within a thread/forum.
    3. Going to a profile(including my own) and viewing posts/threads by that user.

    503 issue when searching etc
    But
    By far the most annoying issue is one that started around a month ago.
    I keep getting daily email notifications for any of my existing threads that i reply to. It seems to change subscription back to daily emails automatically. Really really annoying.

    I have just double checked now. All subscriptions including this one are set to no email notifications. Will update in morning if I get one at midnight.
