These are divided into sections, Desktop, Tablet, Mobile and App. Feel free to contribute to the topic with issues I have missed but always refer to this opening post for the details of known issues and/or fixes.

Please consult this list before reporting an issue and report any new problems into us my emailing support@pieandbovril.com

Cannot edit my own posts? says I don't have permission.

Going to try it on more options

[capybara]

Still cant any ideas?

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.

[capybara]

For some reason I can't copy and paste pic links or links in general, I also can't quote other people's post. Any ideas. It's not a problem on the app, just the main side.

I post links without any bother but I use the more reply options and pop the link into the link icon on the toolbar. I used to post links the music vids but I cant seem to do that these days. I think Stewarty Mac did a guide.

I keep seeing posts from AWRA RFC54 despite him promising to never create another alias account. Must be something wrong with my Internet

[welshbairn]

Possibly a dodgy image, can you narrow down if it appears when you visit a specific page or post?

I think it was just after I posted a picture of an elephant fisting Buddha.

This happens all the time when trying to reply to a long post on the app. You can never scroll down

Still happening

[RandomGuy.]

It goes through spells for me. I had a spell of about an hour where it ran slow and got the message saying the website host was at fault, went away for a couple of hours, came back, and its perfect

[Swarley]

Nothing wrong with that, wisbit just can't spell! ;-)

[RandomGuy.]

I'm literally punching my keyboard at how slow this is. Sadly I broke one of the hinges accidentally a few nights ago so my laptop screen just flops about like a flacid penis when I do this, making me even sadder. Sort this Div, before it gets too much to bear

[Jimmy85]

The site has been running laughably fucking bad for weeks and weeks now. Pages taking yonks to load, timing out etc. No problems elsewhere on the web.

[BFTD]

Is it just me, or has the entire Euro 2016 Qualifying thread disappeared?

Edit: alright, found it. A good six weeks' worth of posts lost, however.

[Div]

Can't recreate that here in Chrome I'm afraid. Can you try clearing temp files and see if that helps mate ?

[Div]

Ok, that will be fixed when I get the iOS update out.

Meanwhile I'm going to close this topic as most of the stuff it refers to is now out of date.

We'll tackle one issue per one topic in this section going forward I think, easier to track that way.

Just got one of those dodgy "install flash" thingy's while on the BRALT. Only other thing open at the time was tweet deck.

This has upset me and i demand some kind of financial recompense

I got one of these again earlier tonight.

What is BRALT, btw?

[welshbairn]

The desktop version keeps logging me out whenever I close the browser (Firefox). The "remember me" option is definitely ticked and I've ensured that pieandbovril has been "allowed" in the cookie exceptions. Nothing seems to work. Anyone any ideas?

Delete your cookies and temporary internet files. It's the new "have you tried switching off and on again?", and works for most things.

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!

[Div]

Yes I noted a wobble this morning, trying to work out what went wrong,

We do run a backup process from 2am that is usually finished by 3am. Shouldn't be flatlining the server though. I will check it out !

[Swarley]

I've had quite a lot of those errors recently. I thought it was down to my own shite internet connection but other websites work ok. They come and go, nothing consistent about them.

My notifications aren't coming up in the notifications section on the mobile app, and I only sometimes get a notifications on my phone when someone quotes me?any way this can be fixed?cheers
