I'm sorry to post this but I can't get passed the first page. No threads are opening now. Earlier today a thread would open showing a couple of posts, but then freeze. Scrolling down would just reveal a blank page. Not my phone or WiFi everything else works OK. I can't even get from Chat to Overview to post this on the New Forum thread. Best to leave it for a while?
Yep not working for me either
It's totally broken for me on an Android phone running chrome but the desktop version seems to be running pretty well (Windows 10 & Edge).
Same on my android phone with chrome. Hopeless.
I'm amazed I could access and reply here as it's been unusable since Friday
Interesting. Its working better than ever for me. Old android phone using duck duck go.
Works fine on my IPad, a bit clunky - much slower to load and sometimes parts of pages missing-on the iPhone. Strange since they are both running iOS 18.3.1
Just a suggestion, but those having issues, have you logged out and cleared out all your cookies for the site and logged back in again?
Cheers @DickBarton. That's better. Sometimes one misses the obvious.👍
Spoke too soon. Opening a thread goes to last post, scroll up to start of page, read a couple of posts then everything disappears. I can can see the post markers, but no script. Then the forum locks. Bugger.
Same here and after a cookie delete. Taken about 4 goes to unfreeze and give a reply. Main page works ok. I'm also using android on a pixel 7a
Totally un-usable on Iphone / Safari - index page loads, but then freezes. Prior to this, many threads only loaded to half way, then a load of white space. Posting this from Firefox / W10
Better than it has been any time recently for me on Chrome/Windows.
Testing with my iPhone, safari on iOS 18.3.1
No issues there.
Working better than for he last few days here, old clunky android phone/chrome
From the replies ⬆️ looks like a free member issue
Tried the logging out, deleting history/cookies etc , naff all difference, completely doesnt work on a phone.
Evening folks. I’ve altered tech to this issue that seems to effecting free members, hopefully they’ll sort it out tomorrow.
Might want to tell them search is just hanging on mobile and desktop whilst you're at it

It's not, it's just painfully slow. For some reason the Forum's own Working wheel (top right) vanishes long before the search is complete, Edge has its own wheel in the page tab that indicates that the search is still working.
It can take several minutes & I also don't know what kind of search the Search box defaults to, if it's searching the entire text of millions of posts it's going to be slow (the Advanced Search in the Forum List is more configurable.
It’s knackered again for me !
Is there a guide for the new forum, for instance- what does the arrow after the thread title do? not last post, not last page, what then?
There’s loads of info on the New Forum thread.

The arrow takes you to the last post in the thread... HOWEVER, there's still an issue where the latest post isn't always shown immediately**, when that happens clicking the arrow takes you to the top of the last page instead.
** the issue seems a lot better than it was a week or so ago, but it's def still happening occasionally
