Cookies warning every page and I keep getting logged out. The cookie/ logout link is broken and new posts take an age to load.
As far as testing goes (ex test manager from too many years ago to be helpful to STW in this case), doing user testing is the hardest bit, because the more you do the more it costs, you need people with different devices and someone to manage that testing, and in our digital world the options are massive.
Isn't that where we come in when posting on these threads. 😉 502s are back but Mark has already said that can be due to heavy traffic and it is Friday night.
Working fine for me.
Again.
Manage Cookie nightmare has resurfaced, android, chrome. But I’m not logged out
Ditto earlier, on every page. Working normal again now.
Why TF am I suddenly getting this, every time I click on anything. Every time,

I mean I know I'm a freeloader but this getting daft. Wasn't doing this yesterday.
Android.
Still not opening on iOS Safari. On an iPhone 12 running iOS 16.1. Runs OK on Edge on the same phone, runs ok on macOS Catalina Safari. Logged in as a subscriber, so no ads.
All fine for me now on Android 12 no issues.
I moaned a lot when it wasn't working, seems only fair to leave a positive when its working.
That’s strange TiRed as I’m on exactly the same combo, all working fine here at the moment.
I had a strange one yesterday where the screen wanted to zip about, scrolling randomly up and down the screen and wouldn’t stay in one place.
I know I'm cursing myself, but currently all running fine again at the moment....
Cookie message every page again - still happening. Safari.
Terrible on Android. Constantly being logged out, pop up ads (par the course I presume), have to re-agree to cookies a lot, often have the problem with cached pages too. It has all the hallmarks of a site that has dug a hole for itself tech-wise and is now so far down the road there is no going back. 🤷♂️
But I'm a freeloader, so I am probably low down the list. 🙂
The standard of discourse on the various threads is pretty good, though. Looked at comparatively with other forums, it is definitely a cut above.
I got the Cookie box on my phone this morning, first thing. And not again.
Android 13/Chrome,
Win 11/Chrome.
Have to say apart from slow loading working fine on Android and Firefox and Windows and Firefox. No logging out.
No pop up ads on either.
Got to the point of unusability on an iPhone and an iPad using safari, pages just wouldn’t load content. Clearing web history helped for about one page load. DuckDuckGo on the same iPad seems to work fine.
The page cache error/login twice thing has gone away for me
Very slow to submit thread replies
Back to freeloader normality 🙂
Now working again. I didn’t change anything either. Edge is still fine.
Someone's got to be taking the mickey here.
Now doing It on the laptop (Win 10, Chrome) but not now on the Android phone, It was the other way round last night.
Ok on the Non Magic Ipad.
Just had a 502. Which is more than a London Paddington commuter will be getting...
Well I'm probably more annoying than Drac and his iPad works and has worked fine for the last week on phone oldish S10 on some version of Android. Laptop on W11 and both Firefox and Chrome plus a desktop on W10 and Firefox?
Yes yes I know I'm a lifer 😉
And the long one was from my phone & the latter from my laptop
Started working fine again for me. No idea why, but very welcome.
The performance is crap as a free member, absolutely fine as a paid member, but some of the functionality is woeful. So I understand the financial pressures of running the site, but for a paid for site the functionality leaves a lot to be desired.
Login issues seem to be back the last few days (android) 4 or 5 times a day at the moment. Can't find the cookie fix button that I seem to remember fixed it last time.
@john_I have you clicked the 'remember me' button before you've entered your login details?
on mobile (I phone for what it's worth) You can't click the forum option from the menu as there is an add in the way, scrolling down does not help. Only option is to log in as a user. Not exactly welcoming to new people, and very annoying for existing ones...
How about now?
Has something moved at the top (under the logo) - I keep clicking Shop instead of Forum! 🤣
@Mark. Nope.
Pop up ad won't close, blocks the bottom of the menu list and stops you from clicking the forum option.
Thats gota hurt the click through rate.
I'd send you a screen shot but, well you know...it's a ball ache.
PM me your mobile no or email and I'll send a screenshot.
Has not been working as it previously did. Seems better now.
I did use the browsers console to tame some of it's unhelpfulness!
I've moved the forum link in the menu up so it should not now be behind the ad. I've also dropped 'podcast' into the 'More' sub menu making the entire menu shorter on mobile.
It should now look like this on your phone.
Thats better. Thanks.
