The forum is buggy as hell all day today

I have to hit the reload button a bunch of times to finally get any page to appear. What's up?

I have to hit the reload button a bunch of times to finally get any page to appear. What's up?

I’m away from my computer until tomorrow but will look into this then.

Any further details you can provide will help me diagnose the issue. Are you on a smartphone or computer? Wondering if maybe it’s an ISP issue. If you’re on a computer, try from your phone using a cellular connection rather than WiFi.

I don't do cellphones. Mine is a Nokia flip phone. I do not labor with the internet on THAT! Ha hah.

I am on a laptop and my internet connectivity is very, very, very good. In well over a year of T-Mobile home internet - which is from a cellular tower nearby - I have experienced my connection dropping less than half a dozen times, always for no more than a moment to a few minutes max. I've never had to call tech support or do anything to get my connection back, it happens on its own.

Starting this morning, when I clicked on the link in the email alert to a thread I am watching, the wheel spun for almost a minute then cannot display page came up. I clicked on reload until the page finally "decided" to display. It's been that way all day.

I’m not seeing any delays on my end. I have a feeling it may be an ISP specific issue. It happens to me - sometimes. Let me know if it’s still the same tomorrow. Either way, I’ll be checking on things when I get to my desk then.

But clicking to send that post worked the first time. It displayed fine. It just took longer than usual, but on this occasion, still less than 15 seconds.

 

[Snicklefritz]

And getting that next post to appear I had to go out and reopen this thread and click "post reply" again.

This post deleted half of my text when I reopened it and I had to write it again, then click "post reply"

Member information does not appear when I hover over member icons.

 

[Snicklefritz]

But now that I wrote that last bit, member information is appearing again when I hover over member icons. But it's contrary. Your information pane didn't want to appear until I tried several times. Mine was immediate. But not yours.

Try another web browser or clear cache and cookies for stingerforum.org, restart the browser, and see if that changes anything. You should need to log back in. If that doesn’t help, at least I won’t need to ask you to do that tomorrow.

 

[Snicklefritz]

Yeah, good call. I moved from Brave to Edge, and Edge is working fine.

Okay, good, so clearing cache and cookies should fix the issue on your other browser.

 

[Snicklefritz]

I deleted cache and etc. on Brave. I signed back in. This posted quickly. And I am editing it now. It's not working. This is my fifth attempt to save edited stuff.

 

[Snicklefritz]

Now I am looking at the page after I hit "refresh". The above post finally appeared.

Maybe something changed with Brave.

 

[Snicklefritz]

I just came here from an email alert. It took less than half a minute but it worked first time, i.e., the page didn't need to be reloaded.

Is either browser working flawlessly?

 

[Snicklefritz]

In all other ways both browsers appear to be functioning normally.

 

[Snicklefritz]

This is from Edge. I just posted the above on Brave, and a follow up post that timed out and did not post. What I said was, "That was quick. As if nothing was wrong." Clearly, something using Brave is still hanging fire.

For the time being, use whichever browser works better. I have no idea what the issue is but I can’t even begin to assess until tomorrow.

 

[Snicklefritz]

Will do.

Over on Brave just now, I had another page not load, after working well for the first few clicks navigating around.

 

[Snicklefritz]

Tried Brave to get here, page would not open. Edge worked instantly.
