Technically, that is. Can't access, can't post, duplicate postings, etc, etc. Goes down when very busy. It's been like this for ages. The other place doesn't ever have these 'tech issues', so it's not something that can't be sorted once and for all.

It's not the fault of anyone on the board - there are obviously some glitches behind the scenes and it must be frustrating for MM.
At least we have quality posts to read!
There's no doubting the quality, I'd agree.Quote:

There's only about 25 on the other side and about 12 of them are the same people.

3. Screen "freezes" and goes blurry when I post a message..
4. In the last few days, I've been getting a blank white screen sometimes when I press on a thread title and have come off the site and then open it up again to get it back.
5. Letters I didn't type appear when I type something with inverted commas or a possessive comma.
6. Adblocker seems to ahve a mind kf it's own when I use this board - it's fine everywhere else.
I've had the problem with the delay between me typing and it appearing on the screen for as long as I've had the laptop, but all of the other things have been going wrong in the last three months or so.
Just for the purposes of diagnosing the issue; I tend to type on my phone. It's android. I don't recognise any of the issues mentioned above. It works fine, except for the fact that the website seems to be down more often than I would expect.
Obviously you never quite know if it's a poor signal or whatever, but it definitely seems to be unaccessible significantly more than most.
Nothing to worry about Bob, your posts are obviously being checked by the Ministry of Hurty Words before they appear on here :-)Quote:

It’s a lot worse on my newest computer (my Apple Mac laptop). I’m using an Apple tablet now and I don’t get most of those problems i listed on here - apart from the blank, white screen one anyway.Quote:

As well as everything mentioned above, it does feel incredibly dated, it's feels like something I would have sued in the early 2000's.
If you had sued it then, you may have won enough in damages to afford to learn to spell your own user name. Or should that be suer name.Quote:

I have come across white screens at times (on certain devices - not all), data base errors that prevent posting (at times - then it sorts itself out), 'sticky' slow downs that cause or contribute to double posts, the recent appearance of capital As (with circumflex above?) that appear mainly in quoted posts, but also in some original posts (but I noticed the same on a Rotherham message board this morning - so it's not just here) and other irritations.
Hopefully the upgrades Mike mentioned will solve these problems.
