What is wrong with the site? (Please read updated post #1)

You may not need a degree to understand the rules but fucked if I'm reading them tbh, I come here to get away from tight regulation and I wouldn't post in a forum in which I don't know the rules.

Also, it seems that its regular users constantly have the wiki page on logical fallacy open because I see ad hominem ad nauseam in there.

Getting a few 404s on the touch site tonight when opening threads.

I'm currently getting false 'followed thread' notifications and being directed to random places in threads when i click for latest posts.

Posts are disappearing for me now.

Database servers out of sync again I suspect.

Listen, I'm not saying politics general is perfect, people generally don't read charters, you have a point, but I've maybe read 3 or 4 charters before posting in forums in 9 years! A few cards to my name, nothing to do with charters.

As for logical fallacy, yep, no political science degree needed. Cognitive biases are hilarious, I love trying to spot how many I have! But generally, whether I post in politics general, AH or the cafe, I've a rough idea of the feel/ethos/lie of land (insert whatever term is applicable here) of the forum.

How'd this post made about ten mins ago slip through?

Michael O'Leary. The plot thickens.

Seriously, I don't think this was Boards Communications Departments finest hour, but there's no conspiracy here.

Same here.

New issue: when I clicked on "quote" for this message, the quote didn't appear in the text box at all. It was as if I'd just clicked the "reply" button.

Anyway, Trump, Hillary and Sanders supporters (doesn't seem to be any Cruz supporters) posting away in US politics and getting along fine. I'll leave it at that, the world hasn't stopped turning in on its axis, unlike Boards.

I want my m.boards.ie back

It was kind of working now it's a landing page where all the links are errors!!!

The Backwards Man

It's horsed!

Also seeing posts disappearing, I tried to edit a pet and got an error that I couldn't edit a post that I couldn't see...
Even when I came into this thread the 2nd last page was showing posts from 30 minutes ago, and then the last page showing posts from 5 hours ago

The site has gone to absolute dogsh te. I'd be bulling if I was one of the talk to forums paying for this.

Something odd happening on the touch site. When I click on my threads it keeps reloading as it did when I first looked at it this morning - all threads unread, last post 6 hours ago or whatever. When I click on the my threads tab again it updates.

Edit: the last like 14 posts above mine were not here when I hit post.

Tipperary Fairy

Got this message when I tried to edit the above post

Also getting a 404 every time I post

Pretty much everything is fine on vbulletin as usual.

All that's wrong is that the new forums aren't added to the drop down category lists at the top, but that's not much.

Into The Blue

New post notification doesn't cancel when post is viewed in Talk To forums.

The_Conductor

Blank pages served when I hit on a link- no error message- just a white screen. Hit refresh a few times- and it loads fully. Just not serving the full page- but also not indicating any error.

Synode

Why has the Amazon thread in Bargain Alerts been closed now?

Lovely Bloke

closed for "review". More nonsensical non-communication to users.

Halloween Jack

I've had an issue with the 'followed threads' page on mobile for the last few days, when I try to scroll down the page I get a weird rendering issue, meaning it's impossible to navigate

Given the current situation with the government, would it not be better to open it again and do a review at a later date? I'm honestly surprised it's still closed.

Are the forums supposed to look the same as the Talk To section, site wide? If so, I'd actually welcome that look, but the current look doesn't look or flow as nicely as it. Having everything left aligned instead of centred like currently will take some getting used to as well.

you've described Boards.ie to a T there.

:pac:

jaysis, just had a look into P (G) - it looks a total mess with all those tags or whatever they are called.

Holy hell.

No, it obviously suits someone to keep it closed.

Too many sacred cows were being toppled.
