Running absolutely fine here on multiple machines and different browsers. Server showing no stress at all. Anyone else experiencing symptoms like above ?

Normally at 2:00am things get slow and either 500 or 503 server errors appear, things are back to being OK after 10-15 minutes.

Presumably some daily server "mini" back-up kicks in at this time.

Otherwise is OK, although this morning has been very slow (server errors) from 2 through to 6!

Still cannot edit on my laptop

So downloaded the new Android update and the quote issue is fixed.... sort of. Most quoted posts make it clear who made the initial quote, however some quotes don't and the text is turned white making it hard to read.

The new update has fixed my quotation problems as far as I can see.

I'd forgotten about the platinum membership. Might be time to sign up again.

I'm not sure if this is the correct place, but I will ask nevertheless.  In the old forum you used to be able to click on the number of posts and see the breakdown of who posted and how often.  Is this feature still there or is it gone?  As nothing happens when you click on the number of replies.

every now and then the iphone app tells me that its restricted and cant update.

need to kill the app and restart every time.. only slightly irritating

The iPhone app does this periodically. Not sure if it's my phone or the app.

Spoilers seem to be showing the actual spoiler on my subscribed pages on the app. Is there anyway to remedy this?

This. Get it fixed please Div, asap.

Still getting problems intermittently with this, tping this no problem, ah tere wasone, being vey caeul typing but this is what happens. No problems on other forums that I use.

[Lou Brusch]

Yes we are trialling some ads on the App. Hoping to get rid of the annoying ones and make them more relevant. Bear with us.

'Casual contacts on Mobile Flirt.com'

Long way to go

Getting email notifications for topics I am supposed to be following.

[54_and_counting]

Notifications dont go away on the mobile site, you need to take them away on the desktop site

[Div]

It's still doing it

Clear your temp internet files ? Does that fix it ?

Newline problem returned for me on stock android browser. Plus if quoting a post it just hangs as "saving post" when I try to reply.

Possibly related problems? Ie I think all my quoted replies included a newline?? Edit....see, this meant to have newline.

Edit 2 and after edit 1 the newline has taken....

I'm getting this too.

The desktop issue that I posted about above on the 6th March is still happening too.

Running absolutely fine here on multiple machines and different browsers. Server showing no stress at all. Anyone else experiencing symptoms like above ?

quite often the site becomes completely unresponsive div, at the same time i am freely browsing other sites while P&B just continues to load

it normally lasts for about 5 minutes then everything is right as rain again, this has happened at many different times during the day both on desktop and mobile version

[BFTD]

Yep. Started happening with me about a year ago, I think.

 

Probably just the site begging us to stop posting TBH.

 

Edit: I think it's been happening more often in the past few months too.

I really need a bit more information to help me trace these apparent slow downs.

There is no issue whatsoever on the server or the website at the moment. I am sitting looking at traffic and performance and it's all absolutely fine.

So, those that are having issues like above can you tell me;

Exact time that you think the board is running slowly

Whether you are using app or mobile or desktop

What browser you are using if it's desktop

What theme are you using if it's desktop

These things will help me to better understand what the issue might be.

I'm totally baffled as to why some people seem to experience such slowness when I never seem to.

Pretty sure this has been raised previously but on the Android app when viewing the time line you can see posters spoiler posts in the preview. Game Of Thrones has just been fucked for me this week by the looks of things.

Yep, pain that one

[McRuffian]

Me 3.

 

Changed to firefox and it has helped a little bit.

 

Very temperamental though.

[tommyboy]
