Same bloody thing happened again when quoting another post and attempting to reply. I also noticed this message then appeared...."1. The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 1 characters"

Had that several times in the past and its been reported a few times but no one has ever got to the bottom of it. It might even be one of those local issues that a reboot sorts out

Hey guys, regarding the duplicate posts issue - that should have been resolved last night but let us know if you are still experiencing it today.

Regarding the text of PMs and posts going missing, this was brought up before and I know that the guys had been looking into it. Will see if they have any update.

Thanks.

This isn't strictly a "what's wrong with the site" matter, but maybe someone here knows the answer....

Without having done any proper research on it, I've gradually noticed that boards slows down in the evening-time for me on Firefox, to the point where it just freezes and stops altogether occasionally (previous reported on this thread as I'd assumed it to be a problem with the site). It's happened again in the last five minutes, nothing will load on Boards in Firefox.

I've recently started opening Chrome instead when this happens (always seems to be in the evening time), and it works perfectly.

Anyone know why this would be? Why would one browser be noticeably slower than another?

Is search completely broken for anyone else? When I try to search for a particular word on a forum, it just refreshes the page.

No problem here. On the full site and just searched "worlds" in Cycling and it worked fine

Further to this, I now can't open boards.ie on Firefox at all any more.

Anyone have any idea why this might be?

Works perfectly in chrome.

(If this isn't allowed - as it clearly isn't a site issue - please feel free to delete! But I'm just stumped as to why this has happened....)

Working fine for me in Firefox 51.0.1

There was an issue a few minutes ago, but all should be back to normal again. Sorry about that.

No, still out.

I can get into individual threads (by clicking the link on the site homepage), but not onto the forum page (list of threads). Clicking on the link from the site homepage just redirects me back to the site homepage.

I can access if from the responsive site though.

Hmmm, what browser and OS are you on?

Could ye try clearing the cache and see if that makes a difference. Can't get it to happen here myself.

Thanks, that seems to have done the job.

Yep grand now. Must be a 301 being cached or something

Doubt this is a repeating problem, but will just mention in passing as it is one I haven't seen before.

Chrome and Windows 10.

Is anyone else having an issue with youtube videos showing just a black box? Cleared my cache and that didn't help. Problem started about a week or so ago. Tried it on various Win10/IE11 machines and it's the same, so wonder if it's some update that that has caused the problem.

Working fine in Chrome.

Strangely if I add boards.ie to the compatibility list in IE11, the youtube videos play fine. However I'm left with the hideous boards.ie style from early 2000.

Just replied to a topic in the mods forum and the dialogue box just went empty as soon as I clicked submit and got yhe usual message about my post being too short i.e. needs to be more than 1 letter or whatever it was. Using IE and Im copying this before I post it as backup

Edit/ posted at the third attempt.

Its been quite some while since I raised the issue and not a cheep other than its being investigated. Helpful indeed.

Was it quite a long reply or at least did you have the page open for a long while before submitting? The 'Publish Post' page can time out if you take quite a while though I can't remember exactly how long. Very annoying if you've been working on a lengthy reply.

I haven't heard of this one before (yet!) but we were able to recreate the issue here in IE. Unfortunately, IE is not being very helpful in giving info on the error so it may take another while to figure this one out.

Im having a few niggling issues. The screen grab will show a problem with a posters details in the post before mine. This occurred just after I had posted myself.

There are times when the smileys just don't work when clicked on. Some pages only partially load / display......maybe the top 20 - 30% of the page is visible and I have to refresh the page to get it to fully load.

On top of that is the issue as mentioned before about my posts disappearing at times and the content of a PM would vanish when I go to reply to it.

I tried a few machines tonight and I cannot seem to play any embedded youtube videos in Win10 / IE11. Checked a few other forums and seeing the same issue.

Strangely, I am not seeing any threads on the ms community relating to this issue.

Edit: youtube videos playing fine in that yoke of a browser "Edge" also. :eek:

We're going to be pushing some bugfixes live in a few minutes, which may (ironically) result in a couple of 500 errors while things are restarting. Sorry about any inconvenience!
