spacecadet Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 The summary page isn't working at all and I'm getting posts out of sequence. I may just ignore it for a day or two so you'll all just have to do without my pearls of wisdom, I'm afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starsphinx Posted January 31, 2019 Author Share Posted January 31, 2019 There seem to be several different issues content being marked as unread when it has been read posts not appearing until log out and log back in (appearing to the writer - I suspect they are visible to readers straight away) content out of order timestamps incorrect summary page not working posts disappearing From my own experience these different things seem to happen at random - and when I think one area is working again another plays up then I find the original issue plays up again.

Starsphinx Posted February 1, 2019 Author Share Posted February 1, 2019 Yep - I am scanning to see if there is anything I have replied to that might have new stuff, or something super interesting looking and ignoring the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M.Chapman Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Unable to make edits to existing posts this morning. I can edit the post and save it, but when I look at the post again, the edit has disappeared. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starsphinx Posted February 3, 2019 Author Share Posted February 3, 2019 I am finding that on a lot of threads clicking last post is not taking me to end but to beginning so having to scroll through lots of stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Crean Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Unusable at the moment...seeing posts in summary that I cannot see when clicking on thread, whether clicking on last post or scrolling from the beginning...

Bill Brooks Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 I will browse the Alamy forum without signing in and with cookies blocked. I also clear cookies at the end of each day. Of course I have to allow cookies if I sign in to the forum. The forum started to act strange. Allowing cookies, when I was not signing in to the Alamy forum, cleared the problem with the forum.

Starsphinx Posted February 5, 2019 Author Share Posted February 5, 2019 it seems to have found a new trick - I come in and the board has half a dozen threads showing as not read. I read one, return to the board and .....dum dum dum..... its no longer a case of what I have read still showing unread it is a case of the threads showing unread are now a totally different half dozen to the ones I started with and any of the ones I started with and still wanted to read have disappeared. However, on the plus side, it seems that posts are still appearing, being read, and being responded to, eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenbush Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 I have found that Internet Explorer works fine but Firefox does not - have just cleared cookies/history from Firefox and normal business has resumed :-) I think someone suggested this a few days ago :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many people on too many browsers are reporting similar issues for it to be something as simple as cookies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cryptoprocta Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Different issues, but I had to complete around 10 captchas (traffic lights of busses) and I'm pretty sure I got all of them right, before getting forum entry just now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have taken to logging out and logging back in to try and clear some of the issues - no doubt at some point it will start throwing capture at me. If I was Alamy I would be tempted to back up the forum database, uninstall the forum software, and do a clean install then rehook up the database (I used to manage and run my own forum) - it would take the forum down for a couple of hours but might sort the issues as the forum software should be separate from the site software. I am visiting other places using this forum software (its appearance gives it away) and they are not having these issues so it is not a universal software issue.

Many years ago I wandered into a public meeting about something that interested me, happened to mention I did some low level messing around with websites and walked out a committee member with the official title "webmaster" - I have learned not to volunteer solutions to web issues except in the broadest possible sense in case I end up doing all the work.
