Forum Display Issues - Pls Read

[Jacko51]

Hi Rob - my display was funny last night but it's gone back to normal now. For a few days though, when I load the home page it's not stable and scrolls down the screen leaving a blank space - I then scroll down to find it. Not a serious problem but just annoying. I'm running Firefox 41.0.2.

 

Thanks very much for your efforts.

Hi folks,

 

Thanks for all the comments and sorry I can't get back to them all in turn.

 

However, I have turned off caching and from here I can see it made a BIG difference. There was a lot of problems with the back-end of the site (lots of functions missing) which wasn't helping me when I was trying to fix things. These are now all back and working since I switched off caching.

 

Can I ask you all remain patient and if it isn't resolved within 48 hours (the caching will still be in place for some as it doesn't all switch off in one go) please let me know.

 

In answer to a few questions:

 

1. Facebook log-in - this has been removed as it was potentially an issue. If the site returns to "normal" I will add it back

2. Style - if all returns to normal I will bring back the "old" style

3. "Latest posts" at the top - again temporarily removed as it could have been a problem - if all returns to normal I will add it back

4. I actually added the cache to keep the site up during busy periods. Now it is removed, you may now find the odd "Database error" during busy times (e.g. end of games etc)

 

Thanks everyone for your patience.

 

Rob

Anyone able to confirm it is working OK now? A couple have got back to me already (and for some it may take up to 48 hours) but if you can let me know in this thread that would be great...

All looking good for me now Rob, thanks.

Yes Rob also working for me now too. Cheers.

Good stuff looks like removing the cache worked for some of you already. Thanks for letting me know and apologies for the recent problems.

all working fine tonight thanks rob...:encouragement:

It seems to working for everyone again.

 

I have deliberately switched off both the "Hot Topics" at the top of the page (I've got a temporary fix of "popular threads" in the sidebar) and the Thumbs up/down for the weekend but I will restore them both when I am convinced the issues have totally gone away.

 

Thanks for your patience!
