Raise Community site problems here

HAZY
27/08/2019 11:09

Yesterday, I and one or two other members had a problem with Windows 10 Edge browser where the "Use rich formatting" button would not work on this site;      today the problem seems to have been resolved as I was able to upload a test image, however,  on some browsers, like Safari, other's are still having problems.      It would be helpful if either this thread or a new dedicated Tech's thread for any site problems/issues could be made into a sticky so it stays at the top.   That way forum members can find it easily and add any technical issues they are having on this community.    Thank you in advance.

Will start off with Bob's post from this morning:

Quote:       Yes the site has plunged downhill again. Rich Formatting button is not working on Safari either, though instead of the old error page message I get a "That was unexpected page" telling me the problem has been logged and reported. It remains to be seen whether anything happens. Personally I would start a new thread about the issue, but believe it or not I can't actually start any New Threads.

So I would be grateful if anyone using a different browser can start a new Thread on the Community Upgrade page and try and alert the powers that be. Even if it is a browser related issue, Safari is not exactly one of your rarely used browsers.

    Edge was working for me this time (it hasn't always). However, all of a sudden the site slowed drastically, failing to load pictures in existing threads, etc. which it wasn't doing a moment before. I am beginning to believe this is not browser related at all, but periodically the site server or some other internet connection goes into overload or meltdown and it doesn't matter what you're using it gives problems just because the server won't load things quickly enough before your browser gives up. A while later and there is no overload and the browser seems to work again. Just an idea!

    That's weird, for days rich formatting would not work with Chrome but suddenly this morning it does.

    Well at least the pain is being shared about. I think we must be on some sort of rota. LOL
    Seriously though, there must be some sort of problem with the Community servers/software which seems inherently unstable. I just wish we could get some response from the digital team as to what's going on.

    Does anyone else have the problem I have noticed today in that many posts have no latest time showing so the only option is to bring up the first page & navigate to latest comments via the page number arrows??

    Obviously don't read this thread, It's still happening!!! Because I'm scatterbrained & don't notice I'm signed out, I type out my message & hit the reply button & lose the lot. Why oh why can't they remove the reply button if you're signed out. I rarely post these days because of this type of problem. IS THERE ANYBODY THERE????

    Best wishes
