THANKS FOR YOUR PATIENCE AS THE WEBSITE IS BEING WORKED ON

[JasonBModerator @jasonb]

I had to do a lot of asking to get those two added, did not want to push my luck getting them to look half decent, at the top of the page and a consistant look to the other “buttons” on the site.

Sorry Jason bnut that is just plain S****d as the rest of the buttons are at the top of the page, why would you go to the bottom of a page when you are looking at new ads. And yes when you select from latest replies from right hand column it STILL does NOT give you latest replies!!!

As a ‘Participant’ of this forum I find Jason’s remark that he had to do a lot of asking to get a small change made rather worrying. I was under the impression that Morton’s team had requested feedback (maybe in posting from Darren) so if change requests from long standing moderators are so hard to get incorporated then the hope I had that the website would be made usable (after the speed issue was sorted) is fading.

On the positive side, the speed has improved dramatically in the last few days, its getting near acceptable on my Chrome/Win 10.

Bernard I know it is and I have also asked for what is down the right hand side to be altered many times. Ideally a more condensed version of what you get here

At the moment what time is available is being spent on sorting out the speed.

And why do my messages have an unread in the right hand column when they are clearly not!

What is this April 1st?

[Michael GilliganParticipant @michaelgilligan61133]

I was simply attempting to explain, Bernard

When you have worked-out the answer for yourself … please feel free to do a better job than I managed.

“For me, the speed is now comparable with many other sites I visit and not an issue” Sorry Peter to say in that case you must visit some really poor sites !

For me speed also hasn’t been an issue for a while. Typically when I log on I open a number of sites. Typically I can use this one first even if I open it last.
The only recent issue I had with posting was getting an error message, but it wasn’t the site it was my laptop.
One site that I have used for a number of years had an issue with not refreshing for a few of us. I simply refreshed pages when I logged onto it. it took a couple of years for the issue to go away. At the time I put it down to a proxy server between me and the site causing the issue and just lived with it.
It makes me wonder if peoples experiences being different are not due to the site per se, but the Internet between the 2.

It’s back to going round in circles, tried to answer another thread on my PC, starting from logged in, click on a previous reply it then says log in to reply, but I already am. The PC downloaded a new version of Edge this morning. Still working ish on my phone

[Grindstone CowboyParticipant @grindstonecowboy]

Just to report, my situation at the moment is that:

a) the site is responding in a not unreasonable time (< 3 seconds switching between pages)

b) I remain logged in over a number of days, if not weeks

c) I have not experienced any error pages being thrown up when posting, nor am I asked to login when posting a reply if already logged in (see b)

Running Win 10 Pro, fully updated, Firefox browser, fully updated, Plusnet fibre to the cabinet broadband with average download speed of 70 Mbps.

This is a reply to JasonB’s topic “Unable to reply to a topic”,

Over the last few days, definitely Sunday, yesterday and this morning, after logging in when I try to look at recent topics it logs me out. I can then look at the topics as a guest. When I go back in I am told I am still logged in. This appears to be a day time event.

I have just found that I can reply to topics when the last post was made over 2 hours previously as a “guest”.

This is why I am posting this here and not “Unable to reply to a topic” where it should but I would never get that 2 hour period of grace. It would be nice if this could be moved to its proper place.

[JasonBModerator @jasonb]

Needless to say the new software can’t move your reply to the required topic so I have had to resort to pasting and quoting it.

It is only possible to move replies to other topics within a certain forum heading not across the boards as I could do before.
