Now I have the login glitch and can’t see where new threads are – so I’ll be a bit quiet until it starts to behave again.

I’m relying on you @HongKongLady to tell me if there is anything here I need to reply to :)

[EDIT] Interestingly, I can login on my android  computer okay. So at least now I have a fallback when I can’t login on my PC.

It is a HP 21″ screen device, runs Chrome for the browser. I think I have Firefox on my desktop.

Thanks, but sometimes when I get the glitch they don’t update either.

When looking at the forum from a guest account on Firefox, the new topics does not update. I have the log in glitch error since yesterday and the new topics at the bottom hasn’t changed.

And now it’s working again – and I haven’t made any changes at my end. Really odd.

This Forum pages take forever to download; it’s been happening for a week, it had never happened before. If you read my previous posts in this thread you’ll know I recently ran my anti-virus software; well, I did find some, but now my PC is supposedly OK. I use Chrome… Any suggestions?

ahdn_paul_06 Is it just this site loading slowly? Are there certain threads that slow?

No, other sites load slowly too, but the BB is one particularly slow. And yes, you’re right, threads with images and links load more slowly than others. These things didn’t happen a week ago. Am I having problems with Chrome? What can I do?

ahdn_paul_06 If you have other applications open while you use the site. You should close them. Also I recommend checking the task manager (Ctrl shift ESC) and looking to see if you have some unknown programs running. Also check the plug ins for chrome and see if the site works faster on another web browser.

 

While you are doing this, you should avoid theads with lots of embedded videos since it would lag a lot like the listening thread.

The following people thank Starr Shine? for this post:

Now this is annoying.

Whenever I save a new post and then click on another part of the forum it takes me back to the post I just created. I’m having to close the site down and then re-open it to get anywhere else in the forums.

ahdn_paul_06 Is this after the check mark appears? Is it after the site has loaded your post or do you click out as soon as you press the post button?

I waited until the post had been saved. It’s gone again now – first time I had seen that happen though.

Anyone know why the search results are returning

*** Sorry, all the search terms matched were in html attributes (such as image source) and are not displayed in the results excerpt

for every post of 839 results. Below are 4 captured.

ahdn_paul_06 It would include smiles. What were you searching for? Maybe try another search to see if it is like that.  

 

Also mentions are html attributes

I did 3 searches with three different search terms. One list had that comment for every result. One had normal results, and one had a mixture of that comment for some results and normal displays for the other results.

@Oudis I use Chrome on my laptop at home and have not experienced this. Have you tried Anna’s suggestion and if so, are you still having the same lag problem?

To the fountain of perpetual mirth, let it roll for all its worth. And all the children boogie.

@Starr Shine?, @Zig:

Yes, in fact I’ve tried her suggestions and the situation improved; however, I still have the same lag problem. What I can’t understand is why it all started all of a sudden ten days ago. Surfing the Forum is not a pleasure anymore. And posting a reply can take three or four minutes from the moment I click on “Submit” until the reply is actually posted.
