Notice – STW any issues ?

Nope, I’m not seeing ads. Bizarrely, a week or two back, I got logged out and couldn’t log back in. Whilst logged out, I still didn’t see any ads (on my phone). Not running any blockers or anything so all I can guess is that some lingering cookie or something was still telling STW not to serve me ads.

Are all paying subscribers seeing ads?

Nope. (Chrome on Android / Chrome on Win 11).

Thank you.

Are private messages still offline?

LOL.

Someone just killed the thread on Alpe de zwift apparently by pasting something like html into their comment.

I had been seeing ads on the homepage for over a week with IOS phone Safari browser. I cleared caches/data logged out/in, nothing changed – still adverts.

The only thing that seemed to work was to clear cache then get back into the forum from a fresh web search rather than using my usual saved shortcut. Ads disappeared after that.

No adds here on my Apple devices, but every week I get the cookie thing where I have to scroll down and manually choose to refuse all cookies from vendors , about 360+ of them before I click “save settings” on the cookie page

Loads of ads here on iOS

Update: tried RNP’s approach. Now can only get logged in via private browsing

Yep, ads every time on Chrome , logging out and in again solves it for that session, but they’re back the next time you visit, which is getting less and less frequently for me, if I’m being honest.

Is profile page changed or broken? Mine no longer seems to show the forum tab where I would get to older threads i started or replied to.

certainly looks like it. Just went to mine to find something, but the forum option is missing.

I’ve asked this on a couple of occasions, also emailed tech and had no reply at all.

Me too.

The ‘Forum’ section on the profile page has been temp turned off as slow website performance had been found to be linked to forum posters history. With more active members experiencing much slower performance.

I believe a fix is being worked on.

Well, what do you know, it seems to have worked.

… posting is still slow though.

forum history still not there for me?

What I mean is, the removal of that feature has sped up the forum for me.

It still feels slower than when using my second account, but it’s useable which is wasn’t before.

Yeah.  It’s better but it’s still not right.  I’m getting intermittent blank screens on page load again.

I’m reverting to the vouch account.

Yeah, mine is a bit slow but nowhere near as bad as it was.

Those wanting to see their previous posts can find them by clicking on their name and they can be selected from the page that then pops up. Looks like a variant of the Profile page.

But, unless I’m mistaken, there’s no way of getting from that list of posts back to the actual thread?

correct.  it’s useless.

That’s a new one (for me)

Yesterday I couldn’t post for a while as it was saying I needed to log in. Went to log in and it said password was incorrect (which it wasn’t, it was my saved password). Tried to reset password but that still didn’t work and it said password was incorrect.

What was odd though was it didn’t have all the adverts appearing, that presumably would have happened if I was viewing as a non-subscriber and not being logged in?

Happened both on mobile and PC.

NEW MERCH – – No Baseball caps

🙁

Why are there no STW baseball caps ? I want an STW baseball cap

No Baseball caps

Yeah, I’m with The Libertines on this one

So I’m suddenly getting ads when logged in. Firefox on IOS.

Exact same thing, though desktop was fine – it was obvious i was logged in (android tablet, don’t know which version but probably quite old), no ads displaying, but no ‘dialogue’ box at the bottom of the last post.

Changed my password, logged in, remembered to check the ‘stay logged in’ box before scratching my arse, had to then log in to the desktop account which i am obviously now using because i changed my password to exactly the same password it was before these shenanigans.

Still the same on the android device – obviously logged in and ad-free, but also shut out and unable to ‘reply’.

Not ideal, is it? Last time i looked i was paying for this shit…

+ i still have to open the forum home page, click on to my profile page, then click on to the forum, to get to an ad free forum home page on desktop.

Couldn’t find my forum post history on the profile page.. is it gone?

[edit]https://singletrackworld.com/forum/users/desperatebicycle/replies   works, but

https://singletrackworld.com/forum/users/desperatebicycle/topics/   is empty

I’ve got that whole wrong password issue on my (logged out) phone but no problems with my (logged in) PC.

Just tried to put up a post twice, and it’s not showing up? Where’s it gone?

EDIT:

Ah, my mistake I think. Was in ‘Overview’, and think you have to be in either ‘Bike’ or ‘Chat’ to post?

Messaging seems to be broken
Is it just me?

I’m currently a non member. I can’t click on the classified via my iPhone as the pop up adverts block it. Tried flipping the screen but just can’t do it. Not ideal as basically removes that part of the site (which once upon a time used to drive a lot of traffic)

I only browse in private mode on an ipad (you know the whole data mining/storage, etc., issues). Rarely log in. You know, the general distopian bent the last 5 or so years…

Today I logged in to post for the first time in an age and the **** STW video keeps on **** autoplaying (with sound) and no apparent in window means of disabling. It restarts every 30s or so… I’ve disabled JavaScript but that kills all videos so not a permanent solution.

Obviously I can just keep on not logging in…

So, I’ve narrowed things down. Every time I type a ‘P’ into the reply box the video starts blaring out…

Using a Magic Keyboard with the ipad…

Talk about taking the p

Im getting the are when logged in again. I’ve tried the deleting cookies suggestion, but it’s not made a difference ?

Im getting the are when logged in again

that should of course read, “Im getting the ads when logged in again”. Notably I posted that from my android tablet where it was happening over the weekend, but it’s okay on my windows desktop PC

Oh i’ve noted too that the list of forum threads created / replies created has disappeared from the profile accessed via the site header

https://singletrackworld.com/user/nbt/

It looks like these lists are supposed to be accessible by clicking on the username hyperlink in a thread

https://singletrackworld.com/forum/users/nbt/

note the additional segment in the URL

However, the list of threads created is empty

https://singletrackworld.com/forum/users/nbt/topics/

and while the list of replies does show the replies created

https://singletrackworld.com/forum/users/nbt/replies/

1) the page title is a random thread title, in this case “Readers’ Rides: Back On A Bike With This Bird Aether 9” – a thread to whic I’ve not actually replied

2) the replies listed are just the replies, with no indication as to the contraining thread

3) there’s no link to the thread
