Mobile login still failing, any chance of a look into this problem?

Sorry, to follow up on this, what OS and browser are you using?

Synode

Just tried to look at a member's posting history (in a specific forum) and got redirected to the advanced search. Happened twice but the third time it worked as normal. Using Chrome

Quazzie

Just browsing using Firefox, and every single page I tried with the exception of the main home page was loading blank, as in just all white - nothing. Have to go in a private window to be able to get in here.

Seems there are constantly problems lately, and every "fix" just leads to more problems.

New Home

Just clicked on 'view last unread message' on this thread, and it brought me to the 19th of October. I'll see if it does the same with other threads.

Skylinehead

Having issues with forum displays (legacy), just shows a blank page. Working now I think.

Mountjoy Mugger

Can only read posts on mobile. Chrome and IE11 leading nothing after home page on Win 7 desktop.

^^^
Yep, got that, too, earlier on - EDIT: The blank page, I mean. And it seems that the duplications are continuing.

Seems to be working as normal again.

Place is shagged again isn't it? Blank pages ahoy.

A couple of things seem to have fallen over at once. Blank pages should be sorted, so ye can get back to being distracted from work...whereas it means I now have to do stuff

Tech guys working to get to the root of the cause of the duplicate posting and slow loading. One of those days...

You're right. We didn't see anything. Twice.

Seems to be worse today than yesterday. Slow posting, slow refreshing, error messages and most quick reply posts are duplicates. Tried several PCs, all running Windows 10 Pro X64 latest version. Tried both Edge and Chrome, was the same.

It's finally happened. Boards has become self-aware & is actively trolling its own staff members.

Boards.ie: Andres

Hi folks, regarding the duplicate issues we were as shocked as you when this started happening as we haven't either pushed any code changes live nor have made any major infrastructure changes recently. So far we have spotted that when this happens our load balancers trigger two `POST` requests a few seconds apart from each other for the same post which in turn is processed by two different web nodes causing the duplicate entry. Looking deeper into the actual content we spotted that there's a extra blank at the end of the text. We are not sure how this is originated, one guess is that the browser might be making the reply request twice, can be something else.
We'll keep looking into this and try to deliver a fix as soon as possible, we'd appreciate if you can post here links to the duplicate posts, and which browser and version you were using when this happened as would be very helpful for us.
Sorry for the inconvenience and have a good weekend.

I'm on the desktop version of the legacy site, and I'm using Firefox 49.0.2. If you need examples of duplications, some of my posts on this thread were duplicated earlier today (I deleted them, though). Thanks.

Boards.ie: Andres

Thanks New Home, we'll check it out.

The search hamster is drunk again. Someone give him some Andrews.

Error when trying to post.

New Home

This is a new one - another poster and myself posted on a private forum at 20:21 - our post got duplicated and 'alternated' at the same time.

I'll send you a PM of the thread/posts in question.

Ted_YNWA

Posts double posting, mainly when using the Quick Reply function.

Bongalongherb

The site seems ok now, but it was really bad earlier today, very slow and sometimes login failed.

I'll take that back. Sending a post takes 25 seconds, random send times it seems.

Error 524 timeouts trying to post now.

Edit: Still actually posted despite throwing the timeout error...

I thought cloudflare had control of the security of the site, it does seem like a ddos attack again, it's acting the same as it did a few months ago.

No bother here at all on legacy or touch lads.

Just got another one of these about a minute ago:

Error 520 Ray ID: 30050475a42b0e1e • 2016-11-11 22:00:30 UTC
Web server is returning an unknown error
