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)

    Sorry guys, there was an influx of traffic to the site after the Taoiseach's address which caused things to slow down. We are working on stabilising it. Thanks for your patience.

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

    I'm not going to lie...I was getting into bed when I posted that last night, keeping the site online is all the tech team's doing - I can take no credit for it but I appreciate the sentiments :)

    They did a great job last night. I was on boards after 10pm and it was working fine :) and I could only imagine the traffic must have been through the roof.

    Not so lucky here. The only thing I saw working was cloudflare.

    Gave up after 15 minutes of waiting.

    Uploading of pages and pms (last night and tonight) is unusually slow, resulting in blank screens.

    Just had to switch browsers to stop 404's,
    On Opera I get this,
    This page isn’t working
    www.boards.ie redirected you too many times.

    ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS

    On Chrome now.

    404 - Page Not Found!
    If you're certain that there should be a page here, please let us know and we'll fix it.

    Once upon a midnight dreary,
    while I websurfed, weak and weary,
    Over many a strange and spurious website
    of 'hot chicks galore',
    While I clicked my fav'rite bookmark,
    suddenly there came a warning,
    And my heart was filled with mourning,
    mourning for my dear amour.
    "'Tis not possible," I muttered,
    "give me back my cheap hardcore!" -
    Quoth the server, "404".

    Ironically Opera and Chrome have the same browser engine.
    No problems with Opera for me.
    If it's a node sync issue then logging out and in again (assuming you get back in!) should have the same effect as changing browser.
    Or tell Deja Boo to stop breaking the site :pac:

    Site is doing that thing where it looks like it's a point in time earlier than it is (so my unread threads went from 3 to 14, and latest posts are from a few hours ago).

    Hi dulpit, there was an issue with replication on a node, but it should be resolved now. It may require a little more time to catch up, but the underlying issue has been rectified.

    Search function misfiring from time to time. An attempt to do a thread search, or a 'find more mosts by' search, just leads to the default advanced search.

    Getting that too. But reloading the page brings up the search results.

    Hi, not sure if this is the right place to ask, so apologies if not, but just wondering if there's any way to stop getting emails informing me of a new post in a thread I'm following (other than to unfollow the thread). My inbox is swamped !!! Thanks in advance .

    What you could try is to unfollow, then click follow again and set the no email notification option.

    Best guess is the site will have an extra traffic load due to the election in America.

    You can change it in settings. I think it's simply just untick it and save.

    Aside from unfollowing and refollowing with a new preference set for mail notifications, you can manage your current thread subscriptions here: https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/subscription.php?do=viewsubscription . If you check the box next to the relevant thread(s), the dropdown menu at the end of the page (marked by Selected Threads: ) allows you to update subscription type for the selected threads by selecting the applicable preference and clicking Go.

    You will have to save this preference on a page-by-page basis (rather than selecting threads from multiple pages and trying to update all at once as the checkbox checked setting is not preserved between pages).

    You can also set your default notification setting from this point forward here under Messaging & Notification > Default Thread Subscription Mode.

    I can feel the site getting laggy, might need to introduce flood control esp new registrations. :)

    Laggy for the last few hours and newest posts doing the "now you see them now you don't" trick.
