    No posts from The Saturday Night Show for last Saturday showing up? Unless there weren't any? Which would be very odd as apparently it was the most cringe show yet for Ray Darcy and was widely reported in other media sources . There's usually loads .
    Mmm ? I'm a bit puzzled ?

    Can't edit posts on the full site. The edited post is reposted as a new post.

    OK on touch site though.

    That is an on-going and known issue for new people with under 25 posts.

    Just to clarify, it's a restriction that has deliberately put in place by boards.ie as a spam prevention measure.

    General performance is fine for me, though avatars in the floating menu are borked again. Think that preceeded the site struggling before.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    The site has not been loading properly, 90% of the time, for me for the past 3 days.

    Sometimes DownForMeOrEveryone says it's down for everyone, sometimes it says it's just me.

    The homepage tends to work but if I try to access a forum or post it just hangs.

    It can't be just me??

    Yes same with me, it would seem to take ages to load and often I'd give up, I was starting to think my phone had got slow or something !

    Give it a week (or two) and then someone will come on telling us we're asking too much and make out it's our fault somehow, and they're working round the clock to fix it.

    :rolleyes:

    Some folk on this thread won't be happy until Boards say they're not doing a tap and are just arsing around the office shooting the breeze.
    Saying they're working around the clock, which they very likely are, it's just all in the background (maybe ask them for a video of it?) - the horror!

    When has it been said it's users' fault or too much is being asked?

    Depends what machine/device/browser I use - mostly grand on laptop and phone, woeful on PC. Extremely slow, or loading but not fully. Chrome is the worst browser for it.

    Presume it's still the DDOS issue - must be a nightmare for Boards.

    Just started getting the same on my iPad, using the app to post this because the site is giving the pop up every time. Other websites doing it too though, odd.

    Any time it happened with me on iOS, if I cancelled the download, an Energia ad appeared on the top of the page.

    Well there's only one explanation:

    Boards has become self aware.
