I have submitted a ticket to the hosting company.

Well, isn't that strange?

I was using the forum around tea time and it was clunky and slow.

Right now its like greased lightning! Did someone switch something on?

I tried to load a PNG of the message and got the Same message!

Also, tiles fell off my roof - I blame the server upgrade!!

Fixed now!

I've had trouble getting to the forum this evening on my ipad.
Mostly getting exactly the same messages as NN.
When I do get in it is very slow I'm afraid.

I had some trouble logging on yesterday night but after a few attempts it's now working

This afternoon the forum has been literally whizzing along.
Probably the best it has ever been.

In contrast to the above I've just had "The site could not be reached" error message in my browser as it took so long to load. I see the 'Notice' has gone from the Forum board but I still can't post a DVD review. Is work still proceeding in the background to rectify faults?

Edit:- Oh, and the Wiki has vanished (not that I ever used it)

Going like a rocket here. Your browser might be cashing if so it could be be an idea to clear your history.

I'll let everyone know when items are updated. I removed the newsfeed as it was a bit stale, and we're still having some coding issues with the gallery.

Railwaygun · December 22, 2018, 10:57:01 AM

can we make this thread and Gallery UPgrade Sticky to make them more noticeable??

railsquid · December 23, 2018, 12:21:25 AM

@Tank I just noticed the [ youtube ] tag is generating an http:// rather than https:// link, which is causing the Youtube content not to be displayed unless the browser is set up to display non-secure content.

Other than that, everything is working fine for me (though I'm usually asleep during what I assume is peak UK usage time).

Graham · December 23, 2018, 12:31:16 AM

another thing I noticed is some threads are coming up as "not secure" whilst others are coming up as secure.

Tank · December 23, 2018, 02:18:06 PM

Thanks about Youtube. I guess this is because users submit their own links and choose whether to use http or https. I'll see if we can get some coding done to change this.

This is most likely due to the photo's on the forum. Once we can finally sort out the new gallery (in talks with the author still), then these should be secure as well.

I can't remember who asked, and what thread, but we now have a 'Save as draft' function for our messages now. Once saved, they can be accessed through your profile.
