All I've had to do since it came back online is refresh each page which is but a tap on the glass.

I can handle that.

Things are working better for me at least..

Thanks to the staff for working this out.
I still got to hit the repost button to get the lastest stuff, but that's progress.

Try refreshing the page immediately after you navigate to it. It's counter intuitive, but works for me.

"the only way I can look at anything is to look under new posts. the lounge hasn't updated since yesterday morning when some of the problems began."
That's the point I have been at all day today. I've logged out (I even get error messages trying to do that), cleared everything like they say, rebooted my computer and nothing works.
This is the worst I have ever seen here. It must be a really big mess.

I'm using an Andriod OS with their Silk browser. I logged off, cleared my cache and went to 'settings' and blocked third-party cookies.

Since then, the forum has been working fine. I know the IT folks will straighten all this out for other OS's as well. Fingers crossed!

PS: I would have picked a different highlighted text color over "lanced boil".

But that's just me.

Windows 7, Firefox with the No Script add on here. Within the last hour or two the performance of this forum has returned to normal for me. I had cleared temp files/cache etc yesterday with no effect. Hopefully, things are fixed.

That is a fairly lurid shade of putrescent palomino.
Hoping for a like-free day... find I need to log out and refresh
to be able to read from who or for what. Oh, the agony...

Everything seems to be working well now. I got an inside picture of them working on the server--they simply needed a bigger hammer--the secret to mechanic work.

PS. I do hope they got a big discount on the new yellow print color.

The "new box of information" that was at the top of each page is now gone for me too.

The site loads and operates faster for me than it used to.That shade of yellow is definitely eye-catching.

A couple of days ago, I could not get on the forum. I just assumed I had somehow drawn the displeasure of the big monkey and gotten multiple dings, resulting in my going to a timeout box. It rather peeved me, because I didn't know how I had incurred the wrist slaps...

Imagine my delight when I could log in again and guess what? It wasn't my fault (this time)!

...and so I apologize for all the untoward thoughts I was thinking...

John

Finally working OK on iPhone but not the laptop using Ununtu a OS an IT friend set up for me. I am challenged on this stuff.

I needed to clear Firefox. All good now.
