‘Is this the worst side possible’ who knows it’s defiantly link a drunken person 1 step forward 3 steps backwards ! Yesterday found my self logged out had problems logging back in but eventually managed only to find any post/replies were greeted with

  🙁

But today all the problems have just gone away

Yes the log in problem seems to be back, several on Model Boats with it and I could not log in as it should be this morning.

Morning all. Sorry, I know this is a nightmare. Looking into it now and I’ve called a meeting for tomorrow when Andy is back. One way or another we will fix this.

Strong black Coffee and good DoughNuts usually help on these occasions, Darren.

We thanks for letting us know that something is going to be done, however I would be grateful if you could clarify what you mean by ‘this’.

You used it in two places. as in ‘this is a nightmare’. Is that a nightmare to you, or were you referring to what the forum users experience?

‘We will fix this’ could refer to just one broken item , or did you mean the whole forum problems?

Yes, I’m being a bit pedantic but I am another long time user of this ME/MEW forum who is coming to the conclusion that life is just too short to wait around as the number of active and new users dwindle away.

I would like to make one suggestion please,

It would be a good idea if one of your team regularly posted an update (maybe in a sticky) that kept us up to date on progress as and when an item had been fixed.

Not sure about all the problems listed by users, I have been logged on for at least two weeks on two devices without any issues but only use the forum in its most basic form. I am using a Macbook and an old iPad. Only issue I had was when posting with images and text but Jason put me right about that.

[Neil WyattModerator @neilwyatt]

Working OK for me. So many of the issues don’t seem to be consistent across users.

Also faster today.

Oddly I felt it was running a bit slower over the weekend, when I say slower that is slower than it has been which is still down on other similar forums.

[Harry WilkesParticipant @harrywilkes58467]

I’m inclined to go with Ian P we have a number of issue’s across the forum and it would be good if we knew to which issue’s Darren is referring to. There’s a lot of frustration with the forum at the moment, yes Darren and his team are working on the problems along with the forum Mod’s  however if members knew what issues Darren is working on and when possible in what order.

Usually in a software project there would be a bug register to record what bugs have been found, when, what’s being done, an estimated fix date and current status.  I’m sure that this is no exception, any chance you could just give users sight of this?  Then if any have been missed people can say, and we all get the same information on what’s happening.

[JasonBModerator @jasonb]

harry, Darren was referring to the ongoing Log In problem.

Yes there is a Log and probbly not for your eyes.

[WearyParticipant @weary]

Hi Jason,

To support your impression as to the site running slower I can confirm that, for me at least, the site loading and pages loading has slowed a little in recent days.  It remains tolerable, but definitely slower.

Regards (& thanks for all your, and the other moderators and other unpaid interested parties, efforts)

For me it just works. We as user who don’t pay anything don’t have a right to see any logs, and I think we should lay off a bit. If I were Mortons I’d be close to saying “well s*d you then” and switching it off. Hopefully this won’t happen, as I would miss it.

Hi, I haven’t had any login problems since the 31st Dec. when I removed the “Don’t clear” from the “Choose what to clear” list, in the privacy and cookies site/permissions, in my browser, when it is closed, even when others were still having login problems.

Regards Nick.

My comment about Coffee and DoughNuts was more serious than might have first appeared …

Perk-up the attention levels, and the energy levels, and the ‘team spirit’

… focus on what will be a Big Win not an easy one

It is all-too easy to keep tinkering around the edges, and leave the hard stuff ‘til later, but that gets you nowhere.

Darren has the right Battle-Cry:

One way or another we will fix this.

Though we have no Developer, they went a couple of months ago.

It’s a random problem, Friday it was said to be fixed and worked OK for me Saturday, did not work Sunday but has been OK Monday and Tuesday.

The fact it has worked 75% of the time in the last 4 days suggests it is not something my end as surely that would affect it each time I switch on in the morning

[Harry WilkesParticipant @harrywilkes58467]

Dave ‘  Now, as far I as can tell, login is 100% reliable ! ‘ I wonder if members read what others have posted before making such comment ! I reported on Sunday that on Saturday I found that I had been logged out and could not log in all day Sunday logged in OK but couldn’t post/comment got the 403 error hence my reference to the forum being like a drunken man.
