Uh oh. Login is broken. Can't log in with either chrome or Firefox on my desktops. Fortunately phone still logged in. I see the login page and clicking log in appears to work but am then returned to previous page in non-logged in state.
this is just frigging useless, where do your posts go ?

I think we've hit peak.
The days of maroon and yellow when threads couldn't get much beyond 100 posts without the forum falling over now seem very appealing...
Page 25?
Replying to topics, reply not appearing, but then get a message saying its a duplicate post... But it doesn't show in the topic. Also very slow, timed out a couple of times trying to post a reply.
What is the rough timescale on getting this forum fixed?
There are other pubs.
☺
pg 10000?
Excellent analogy.
except that it isn't really, for software deployment - especially where there are two test environments available where most of these glitches should have been seen first.
it really would be better to back this release out if possible and make it available in the test environment.
Having us involved in the testing process in that environment is actually a positive in that everyone feels more involved - it's like delays on the railways and the rail companies giving updates over the tannoy versus not and letting the customers get ever more p1ssed off.
Strange. I’ve just changed to a new windows 10 pc and now I can’t log in. Tried Edge, IE, Firefox and Chrome but none work. Still working fine and logged in on phone and iPad though. Does anyone have a workaround for the desktop?
We know the work is going on.
The quicker it's finished, the quicker the landlord can get back to normal. Or sell the pub to Wetherspoons.
☺
If you can't see your post just modify the url to hit the next page in the topic...
This thread is bonkers for me... i see replies every few mins on the list, but my last reply i can see fully is 26 mins ago... .
I had another thread ealier with 5 replies but was showing as 2,000 posts !
How do you know he's not about to sell to Wetherspoons anyway?
I see it like a puppy.
You had to have your old dog put down as it was too old, slow, couldn’t do what it wanted to do anymore and it was not learning any new tricks.
The new puppy comes along pisses on the carpet, doesn’t always do what you tell it to do, falls asleep after a bit energetic spurt but you know it’ll get better.
You can’t have the old dog back as it’s dead so you keep training the pup.
I just hope the forum doesn’t go for a child’s face.

Switch it off.
It's like when there's a potentially disturbing scene coming up on the TV news, they warn you about it, and you have to watch.
My idea of simply ditching what went before and starting from scratch seems more appealing/likely the longer this car crash goes on. I think that expecting the current development team to shoehorn in all the undocumented and obviously ad hoc changes that have been applied over the years is simply too ambitious.
wtf is going on ?
Or, in Dracs terms, but a puppy.
I think the puppy is ill today, it keeps shitting everywhere.
💩💩💩
Bloody thing took a shit on the new rug so we had to put it outside for a bit.
So we are back post maintmainte what's changed without having to create a heap of posts to check?
Drac, if I lived near you, I'd buy you a beer for all the shit you're having to deal with.

Why thank you.
Just a couple of quick ones
Last post reply takes me to the 2nd or 3rd last page
Using swiftkey autocomplete or correct inserts a random spelling like spspellin
Android chrome
This ain't right 😆
"Drac, if I lived near you, I’d buy you a beer for all the shit you’re having to deal with."
From the pub where everyone's in the dark, sat on upturned boxes and surrounded by builders rubble and bare wiring.
Haha! Brexit Pub Muppet.
Well, whatever you did it is suddenly faster....
In reply to the analogies which have been done - I'd rather they rewired a completely new pub in the car park, got the landlord, staff and a few friendly locals to pop over and test it all out to make sure you could still get a pint and the flash new jukebox worked (but knowing they can just go back to the original pub whenever they want, because it's actually quite comfortable despite needing a rewire). Then in the middle of the night demolish the old pub and pop the new fully functioning one in its place.
The old dog might not be able to learn any new tricks, but it could still do all the tricks it already knew and it was still faster than the new one which keeps running around in circles because it's not been trained. Yet the owner decided to put the old dog down the same day the new puppy was born - rather than wait until it had had some training - because in several months time the new one will be better. I miss Shep.
[quote=SaxonRider ]Drac, if I lived near you, I’d buy you a beer for all the shit you’re having to deal with.
I'd also happily buy Drac and Cougar a beer for the shit they have to put up with - but not from this thread, there have been some proper mod slating ones. In case there's any doubt, any shit I'm throwing isn't aimed at them <duck> and I'm not sure anybody is aiming at them, or even why there's anything they have to deal with on this thread - they're mods, not devs.
The really strange thing with the page glitch after posting is that the correct URL exists - it's under the "Posted X time ago" text bottom left. So all the devs need to do is use the code which is generating that to supply the URL after posting.
Drac and Cougar earlier today
The old dog was suffering it couldn’t wait for the pup to learn all the tricks.
Looks like I’m getting a nice line of virtual beers here cheers folks. Oh and I rarely take anything personal but it does sometimes get a bit boring.

It was a rhetorical question 😉
just noticed something amusing
I wonder how big the text will get
if I nest lots of quote together
one after the other
is there any size limit
or does it eventually break the forum?
Oh look
it keeps getting
bigger and bigger
"Replies Created" - excuse me if I've missed this one.
On that Tab (accessible from my Profile page) I now see all my replies (well, 23,000 of them dating back 4 years) but in chronological order and with no link to the thread they are on.
🙂
lol @ aracer
I like the fact that posting take you back 2 pages!
In case anyone missed it one page one here's a little reminder from Mark...
"this is the start of some major site development and changes that we have planned for the coming weeks and indeed <span style="text-decoration: underline;">months</span>"
Having just read pages 22 to 25 (not through) i feel like i would have fared better if i'd taken LSD!
but at least i'm now able to sign in, let's see about actually posting...fingers crossed in 3,2,1...
Typography by STW.
Nicely done aracer.
Has the default font reduced a fraction in this latest build?

Did it work?
Ahhhhhhh!
Lets be honest the thing is totally fubared. Improvements in a months time, they'll be lucky, as it's almost a week gone and this release is geting worse not better. Someone soon is going to have to start working big shifts to pull this one back.
But despite being totally fubarded you’re managing to post.
