    Still getting the double posts randomly happening.
    I often ended up with double posts, even before the DDOS.
    I think that it is down to having a slow internet connection (crappy DSL with a ridiculous contention ratio) the more users, the higher the probability of the post appearing twice!

    I only get Double Posts when I use "Quick Reply", not when using "Post Reply" or "Quote".

    I never get them and my internet connection is a two strand wire out of a box in the local village 2k away that's been under water for the last month! Must be just lucky....

    Just tried multi-quote for the craic. We'll see....

    But that explains why I got no double posts - I never use quick reply.

    Something new just happened. I thanked a post in R&R and after a few seconds of waiting it showed up as I thanked it twice. I refreshed the page and it was just thanked once.

    I think you might be on to something. I never use Quick Reply either... until now.

    Test...

    Slowing down again for me.

    Im using the quick reply for the first time ever...honestly. We'll see now if its causing the double posts or at least one of the reasons for it.

    Yes, quick replies tend to multiply far more often than normal replies.

    Ah for God sake. After waiting for days hoping it would sort itself out, I changed my password, only for the same issue to be there. My account is STILL locked.

    Search function STILL not working.

    I had been greatful and praiseful towards the Boards.he staff for getting the site back up to now, but I'm quite frankly becoming pissed off at this stage.

    Can we at least have an ETA for these issues to be fixed? Come on like!

    Ask the perpetrators of the DDOS to desist!

    Serious speed issues again this evening- whatever the poor hamster did earlier must have exhausted it- we're back at 10-20 second page loads- the site is unusable on either touch or the main site......... sorry guys.

    Oh right, you're registered! Was wondering about the tone of text. How much do you reckon you're due back for the service outage then? :pac:

    Edit: Oh wait.....no, that was a subscriber I was thinking of.

    If boards site owners took the same attitude, they would loose users hand over fist. Registered or subscriber, too many outages will push people away to alternatives and they can kiss the advertising revenue away.

    Yeah, pretty sure they've thought of that and are doing all they can. Getting snippy with the poor feckers won't help even a little bit.

    Patience people, patience. And maybe a sense of humour about our dependency on t'internet.

    Got a weird page telling me to enter one of the captchas as a security measure when i clicked on my boards bookmark. It took 3 refreshes to get rid of it?

    Found a way around the "too many login failures message". Not able to login at all on touch or full site due to the error but changing to beta site and logging in there , works every time for me and I'm still logged in when I go back to touch and full site.

    Lovely stuff. For those reading this and wondering how it is done. Go to boards main site. Scroll down to bottom of the page and among the small writing is "turn beta on", Log in and then scroll down and click "turn beta off". Now logged in to desktop site.

    Getting issues with the password & too many logins issues.

    Log in ok, but get kicked out every 20 mins or so.

    If I use Safari to join boards.ie, I am locked out. This has been a problem from the DDos problems. Changed browser to Firefox or Chtome and it appears to be a fix.

    As I am a Mac user Safari is my main browser.

    Finding the loading of pages a tad slow at present.

    Enjoy Boards and hope matters will return to full speed shortly.

    Thanks
