It’s been down since the upgrade. The Jeffs know.

Just came here to report it. Any idea if or when it will be fixed? Lots of good data out there

In the meantime, google search seems to have indexed the site

Test.

I haven’t been able to post at all. If this goes through it’s an improvement.

Edit: success!

Is there a way to work around this issue? I can't easily read or post in any thread contains pictures because a page with a picture spreads the page content to several times my screen width. If I zoom out far enough that I can see the entire page the text is totally unreadable.

Yes, it’s a huge problem.

Pun intended, but serious at the same time.

You still can't search for anything, anymore.

Yes we are aware of the search issues, and it will be fixed in our next maintenance event later this week.

As for the subscribed threads, while we do still have the data, rooting around in that to dig out threads for multiple users would be very time consuming. Probably the easiest way to resubscribe to threads that interest you would be to search for those emails in your email program, click on the link to the thread, and then resubscribe.

Thanks all,

Jeff

FWIW- Search is still an issue. Will only go back to the previous MX reset.

I have gotten Google Hits for BT for years.
I've since dumped Google as every website I visit, even not using google for a search- just typing in an address, I would see a Google Analytics flash. So Google would track what I was viewing.

Pretty sure there is no real “dumping” Google, they will track you anyway. :sad:

Might as well get the convenience of using their search tools when this site’s search is broken. :shrug:

Jeff’s

Thanks for improving the speed and usability over the past few days.

One thing that has crept into the system that is annoying as all get out now occurs when somebody posts a picture. The picture doubles or triples the size need to fit onto the screen of my iPad (fully up to date). The text gets really small, goes off the screen on the right and forces you to move over considerably to read text. Then way down to see the picture as the frame now is switching to a larger picture size. This happened previously, but only once in a long while. Now it’s almost every day.
:pullhair:

Can you take a look into that?

As a possible troubleshooting clue, I just noticed while posting a picture that after the picture uploaded everything was big, including the text input box, etc. My hunch would be something is getting a stray CSS style or similar tags when pictures are involved, and it magnifies them.

Username Protected · **Posted:** 29 Jan 2024, 02:04

I dunno if it is any kind of clue to any of the behaviors being seen, but when I post a reply the top of my display briefly flashes some text that looks like code before the reply posts. It is very quick but it is like someone left some debug code in or something.

I will see if I can try to snag a screenshot as it goes by.
