Forum Website Issues

[TCinNC_imp]

Is anybody else having issues with the site besides me? I’m not sure how to describe it, when the site loads none of the usual color is there, all emojis are words, etc. It’s difficult to look at posts, this is the second time in the past two days...

Occasionally, and it happened this morning, I get a MyBB SQL error or MyBB server not found messages. I just wait a little while and try again. I guess the hosting service has problems sometimes.

TCinNC, how are you accessing the forum—phone, tablet, PC—and what browser? Not that I can help. I'm just curious.

Yep my iPad is showing what you described, been that way for a few days now. Would like it back to normal.

 

[GoldOxide_imp]

Never has been an issue for me.

Windoze 10, Chrome Browser
Linux x86-64, Chromium Browser
Android 7, Chrome Browser

Obleo, if you're running the most current iPad software, try turning the iPad off and the on again. If you're not running the latest version of the OS, try updating it. My iPad is showing the forum without problems.

I’m using an IPad with the latest IOS, today everything seems to be ok...

Sounds like the transfer of the trailing parts of web-page paraphernalia is timing out.

Find web-site performance test web service or application program applicable to your OS/browset/location and test the site that misbehaves and several other. If there is significant difference between them, this would confirm my speculation of what is causing the malfunction you describe. If the situation persists, misbehaving site operator and your ISP should be notified.

Not working still , just updated both iPhone and iPad at considerable inconvenience . I think the problem lies in this forums software. Guess this is the new normal.

I've had no issues on my PC (Google Chrome) I-pad (Safari) or Samsung Galaxy Tablet

 

[Cormanus]

I have had this (or a similar) issue in the past, I think on an iPad. It resolved, but I can’t remember why.

Rotor, is the software or test site easy for a non tech to find and use?

Much appreciated. Thanks.

Chrome looks like this today. No rhyme or reason; just started suddenly. The forum looks fine in another browser.

It was just abnormal and then right now is OK with my Chrome...I see that from time to time, yesterday as well. Don't know, not my strong field:-/

 

[Cormanus]

Yeah ... I've seen it before, but not for a while. Restarting the browser and the computer has made no difference.

Maybe Darth did something bad...

There was a momentary MySQL fault - didn't last for much more than a minute today.

This 'fault' has persisted for a while. I figured it this morning.

If you're using Chrome and a small magnifying glass with a "-" inside it icon appears next to the star on the right hand side of your URL display, click on it and then click on the 'Reset' icon.

The different appearance is an artefact of having tried to display more on the screen.

Cool. Brings the zoom back to unity (100%).

<Ctrl><-> will increase (zoom out) the Forum "desktop" size, and <Ctrl><+> will decrease it (zoom in).
