Hi,
It's been reported that since doing some work on the website a couple weeks ago that people are having issues such as:
If you're experiencing any of these issues please vote above and then post your woes below.
This issue is definitely not malware or anything to be concerned about beyond the obvious frustration. We had tried to improve page response time by implementing page caching and it didn't work very well. I suspect these issues are the ripple effect of pages still being cached on some people's browsers (or through DNS).
Furthermore, a login-cookie issue occurred requiring everyone to reset/delete their cookies; but given this is a bit tricky for most novice users I've hoped it would clear up on it's own. Some of you may have noticed you had to log back into the site more frequently than you've had to in the past.
Given all of these issues I'm really hoping to find a viable alternative to our current "old" forum software and move towards something better in the not so distant future.
It's been reported that since doing some work on the website a couple weeks ago that people are having issues such as:
- Making a post and then not seeing it appear on the website right away
- Refreshing the page makes their post appear
- Viewing the forum is leaving people feeling that they sometimes see updated pages, other times they see old pages (without recent posts/updates)
