    I can only assume its picking up the high number of "members" from where I work as a problem. Which is rather absurd.
    Oddly, when it was at it's worst, I could only browse boards whilst at work, as it wasn't working at home. Works okay for me at home now, thankfully, butnot so much other people in the house.

    I'd uninstall that if I were you, it's a botnet.

    I wouldn't use that if I were you. You'd more or less be an exit node for all kinds of traffic.

    Is there a way to get the email notification back working again or is it completely gone?

    Well maybe the site will work without it sometime soon.

    Does boards have insurance policies to cover things like this?

    I'd imagine the Talk To forums would be pretty annoyed at the site being down/unuseable for such an extended period and would look for compensation.

    Crawling again this evening- when you hit post- its taking 14 seconds to get to the message box- and then another 22 seconds to finalise when you hit the 'Submit Reply' button. This is the full desktop site. It was fine this morning...... :(

    Duplicates also seem to have gotten worse last night and today too (unless a spate of people all decided to use the 'quick reply' function today- who haven't been doing so all week).

    Just wondering if there is a fix for dupe replies, really sick of having to delete a post every time.

    Style sheet seems to be totally borked right now guys.

    Update:

    [img][/img]http://i.imgur.com/9fzushc.png

    BBCode buttons not working either. Multiple browsers, logged in and logged out. Better on the old theme but still broken.

    EDIT: Back to normal now.

    Site has essentially been unuseable for me for weeks now, have changed my skin to try and help it (previously on New Beta, which lacked any kind of formatting at all). Currently on blue skin and all image links are dead.

    Can you not go back to the default Vanilla site until all issues are resolved?
    No issues here whatsoever for the past few days.

Its the same on firefox & chrome! I cleared my browser history but nothing changed. Can someone help? This is very annoying

    In Chrome hit F12. Open one of the links with bstatic in a new tab. Then refresh main site

    Hi folks, ever since the site went down I no longer receive any e-mail notifications of posts in the threads that I am following. I tried to post this in the Helpdesk area but it wouldn't let me for some strange reason. I am wondering if a fix is being worked on?

    P.S. Welcome back! :) Don't ever leave us again!!
