Speaking of DNS, I've been noticing that sometimes when I load the site it looks one way, and other times it looks another. I've just worked out that this relates to whether "www" is in the URL.
When loading using this link it looks different...

...to this link...
https://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/recent
Could that be related to some of the issues you've been having?
I'll pass that along. I know we have a redirect on www.
Maintenance page is about to go up for s short while. Go do some work
Are replies we posted before the downtime that have not appeared yet a lost cause, or might they appear?
Getting better daily. Just a post to test how the "reply" function is working. .....
And to ask if there is any chance of a total post count indication to be reinstated on the "latest posts" view. Always nice to see which posts are proving popular.
Still taking quite a while for anything I post to show up.
Better than the three hours + the other day but still pretty bad.
I know it's probably pretty low down your list but when I try and post pictures from Flickr they come out a bit sideways stretched.
Looks more odd.
Posting them by copying from the address bar in Flickr and pasting that direct into the box at the bottom of the thread.
Can I do this some other way that won't distort the pictures?
Edit.
That one posted pretty fast. Seems it's posting pictures that takes ages and comes out distorted then.
Better than it was and moving in the right direction. 👍
For anyone annoyed at the site being down for a bit today, spare a thought for my 3yo. He’s off nursery with a bug today and iplayer wouldn’t work on our tv just when he wanted to watch go jetters. Disaster.
I was out for a ride. Did I miss anything?
A floating 'Go to Top' button would be nice too - thank you kindly! 🙂
When can I post photos?

I’m not seeing an image icon. Wonder how long this will take to appear. Posted at 17:39 Wednesday.
testing the speed
Is it any faster?
Edit: evidently so. Hurrah!
My earlier post still hasn’t appeared. Must be a half hour or more
now. I did see immediately at the top that it was listed as the last post.
also when I post I get a spinning progress wheel for a minute or more.
yep same here, I'm getting email notifications for posts I'm following but when I go to the forum thread it still hasn't updated 3 hours later?My earlier post still hasn’t appeared. Must be a half hour or more

Cache bug still there but waiting on input from VIP engineers to fix it.
Today we moved away from our DNS setup with our ad provider EZoic. The big win is in performance and we now get numbers like this...
I appreciate that's not solved the most significant issue yet around post delay and posts showing up.
Seems to be running faster this evening.
The Post delay thing is weird.
I posted on this thread, at 14:36, the Comfy Bar Tape thread a few seconds later and the Midweek Ride Picture Thread around 17:30. The latter posted immediately and the first two over 3 hours to appear.
Hi, would it be possible to reinstate the Christmas Airfix thread? 404 – Page not found – Singletrack World Magazine Forum

To be fair,
Flickr is the de facto photo hosting site. But for hosting pictures you want to embed into other media it is garbage.

Ive used Flickr for 18 years, it’s easy enough to embed pics
Is the blue colour staying or is that getting changed? I struggle to read what it says at times

yep, same here for a similar length of time
I see posting is still ****ed then? Thinkmive posted replies twice and not showing up so I’ll come back in a week or so
Got another glitch
When browsing the thread list on a mobile phone it is easy to click on the original poster's name by accident. Does it need to be click-able? Same with the Forum it comes under when in the Latest threads list. When the 'last post' arrow trips into the second line it makes it especially difficult. To me, all I'd ever want a thread list to have click-able is to get to primarily get to the last post, secondarily the thread title. Ideally the last post arrow should be fixed at the right side, and the thread title can wrap to a second line if necessary. Just a suggestion, if not already made. Thanks.
Got another glitch
I'd noticed Mark randomly come up as "Mark" and "markalker101" - I presume they are the same account, but maybe not.
Two accounts. Both admin. One sees ads the other doesn’t. One has 16 years of metadata strapped to it. The other doesn’t.
Why can't I see my posts?
Threads say I've the last post, but I don't see it.
Just want to say for such a small team doing such a big job I think it's going great. Taken a few days and a load of work I'm sure, but there's a usable forum back again.
Thanks folks
...but there's a usable forum back again.
It's difficult to know what's caused by maintenance and trouble-shooting, but posted replies are again disappearing into the ether to surface at some point in the future.
I thought that this had been solved a couple of days ago, fingers-crossed for a good outcome 🙂
Got another glitch
Double glitch as the multibikestu isn't even in my profile nickname. It's just Stu filled in in that box.
Agreed, knowing how hard things like this are it prompted me to check/renew my membership.
Thanks team!
I’m replying to threads, latest is the “EMTB for longer rides” but I can’t see my reply. It does say that I’m the last poster.
Adding an image is somewhat convoluted. Also, 'My Media' is kind of ambiguous. It reads like it might be some sort of external image-hosting resource, not least because of the capitalisation of 'Media', maybe - if it's not that - just go with 'media'?
Not logged in, access via phone rather than PC, most recent posts are from almost 12 hours ago
I have a photo of a tractor...but the Tractor Trumps thread has disappeared. I'm at a total loss...
Hoping my observations are helpful, rather than moany. Bizarre forum behaviour:
The Ukraine thread hasn't made my post visible from an hour ago, two more posts have been made since by poly and DT78, also not visible (460 pages)
The Family eating Camden thread updated and displayed my post almost instantly (1 page, 1 reply)
