Forum today - absolutely... 💯 👌
All over the place today - lots of 'Lost Reddis connection' and blank pages or just no response at the moment.
It's been pants today. Blank pages, weird formatting or the site simply refusing to load at all for 10 or 15 minutes.
How frustrating. It’s my first visit in weeks. Im
a paid subscriber. I see this
Same here, I get the same message on the Reader's Ride article.

Sorry about that. I’ll let the bods know.

The Redis thing is happening today
Error establishing a Redis connection
To disable Redis, delete the
object-cache.phpfile in the/wp-content/directory.
Yeah I had that about 6am hit refresh and it’s been fine since.
Not a fan of this Stan floating speech bubble thing on a small screen (or anything that obscures what you're trying to view basically)
Is it really necessary to have it there as well as up the top?
Do people need it so near to hand?
I'm unsure if I've done something, but the Classifieds page is now just a grid of advert text with no images.
If I haven't done something, and this is the new format can I share my opinion that it's visually much worse and stops me from looking through it at all vs just having the main advert title and an image which I can then click into if interested? Obviously that's just my opinion, but it's a strong one 😆 :
The forum has been relatively fast and responsive for the previous few weeks but it now appears to be on a total go-slow this week, has anything changed?

Its covering the back to top button
Yeah it’s little big.
Dear Stan….
Stan has been moved.
Notifications that you have a private message from another forumite are taking literally hours to come through.
Subscribed thread notifications have been coming through in chunks at random times for a little while. I assume something keeps falling over and needs a kick start.
Over 3mins to load this page,
Subscribed thread notifications have been coming through in chunks at random times for a little while. I assume something keeps falling over and needs a kick start.
I keep getting notifications that there are replies to my subscribed thread, that small cars jobbie. However, it's nothing to do with me so obviously a mistake. Doesn't bother me in the slightest but thought I'd mention it in case it helps pinpoint an issue somewhere.
Back to normal now,
Can people in the cheap seats still send / receive PM’s ?
My previous messages have disappeared and I can’t appear to contact others 😢
For what it’s worth the site seems pretty unusable on iPhone at the moment (latest iOS etc). There’s such a lag - maybe as pop up adverts appear - that you click on a thread but it then freezes, refreshes and what you have clicked changes, sending you to something else
eg I’ve been trying to click on this thread but it’s then pushing me to the double blue next page of threads buttons, such is the delay and refreshed page.

I've pinged you message to test...
I've had a few days not allowed to log in, but have still been browsing - got to say, I actually didn't find the ad's too intrusive tbh, it was usable as opposed to when I've looked logged out before and though it was totally unusable
I've emailed a couple of times regarding this weird message I got when attempting to list an add, haven't heard anything back
Painfully slow yet again for me.
It’s taking close to a minute to open a page.

Me too a couple of hours later...
A lot of waiting for www*facebook*com... and singletrackworld*com...
Very Very slow today.
Plus the home page never displays properly for me (Win 10 + Chrome). Sizing is all wrong.
A couple of
500 Internal Server Error
followed by
A timeout occurred Error code 524
All within the last 1/2 hour
Yet again the site has been almost unusable today. Painfully slow to load and at times effectively offline. I now realise after lots of naive false hope for the last couple of years, that it's never going to be properly fixed. Any period of apparently normal page loading times is always temporary. It always falls over again after a few days or weeks. Every time. It's the hope that kills you. No other site I use does this. This forum software and/or it's implementation, is simply not fit for purpose.
Question. Is there some sort of limiter in place for photo posting?
I posted some photos on a thread (the 5 limit then a further reply with 5 more) and then for maybe a couple of days now in the reply box the option to post photos is missing. Instead I have that weird blurred rectangle that takes you to GIFS. Nothing else.
I'd show a screenshot, but then I can't post photos innit.
Random photo test.
Sorry I wasn’t around yesterday so can’t comment on the speed.
No logged in cache has issues. Just been browsing logged out without realising. The main forum list page showed Thursday's date, several threads I opened showed Thursday or Fridays date. Only the homepage showed today's date.
Ahh you've stopped blocking Brave, I can check out the site again. Yet you wonder why your losing traffic...

Forum is incredibly slow, over a minute to refresh a page
really? i was struck by how snappy it had become! came in here to give it credit where it's due. 🤔
its been intermittently slow for me

I don't think they have wondered that...a few pages back Mark gave an update of traffic and visit numbers and there didn't appear to be a huge difference...perception from the users (us) is that it is quieter, but Mark kind of debunked that (forum has more posts per page, volume of posts still about the same, etc).
