Forum Issues

[Klaus]

I've updated the forum and we are now on NodeBB 1.17.2. Let me know if you experience any (new) problems.

[Klaus]

I'm going to update to the latest NodeBB version. If everything goes well, it should only require a minute of downtime or so.

[Mik]

Thanks, Klaus.

For some unknown reason my MacBook Pro running the latest version of MacOS cannot post the to the forum as a new topic or a reply.

I always receive an error but with no detailed information about the error.

I know this is not something that has to do with the forum at all.

It's just reinforces my opinion that Apple sucks. lol

running slow.

@mark said in Forum Issues:

running slow.

Yes, though I suspect it's not specific to our particular server, but general between us in the USA and that server farm in Germany. I get slow response even when I access the server control panel that is presumably hosted in the same server farm but separately from our nodeBB server. "Ping" suggests a 2.5% packet drop rate, not too too bad, but ideally I would like to see < 1%.

What else I have noticed lately is that it gets slow when loading media files uploaded by users. Loading nodeBB/TNCR pages are fine but when the pages have embedded media files, that's when things slow down.

Can't say I find a pattern to this. I tried matching it against backup schedule but there does not seem to be much of a match there. :man-shrugging:

[Klaus]

Can't reproduce. Forum looks snappy.

Just for the heck of it, I'm going to "turn it off and turn it on". Maybe that'll help.

[mark]

I have noticed it from time to time mostly when loading images.

Is the "spoiler" thingie broken?

:::

Because I can't seem to get it to hide something.

[Klaus]

Indeed, looks like it is. Opening the spoiler seems to even crash the forum script in the browser.

Must have been one of the recent forum updates. Sigh.

[Klaus]

I've manually updated the spoiler plugin.

That seems to have fixed the error of crashing the website script. But spoilers still won't open.

Will investigate further.

[taiwan_girl]

We are just spoiled with all the hard work you do on this forum board.

Thanks @Klaus

[Klaus]

NodeBB update upcoming. Maybe it'll fix the spoiler issue...

Search is down…

[Klaus]

Search works well here. Can anyone else confirm that search is not working?

[mark]

Search works fine for me.

[LuFins Dad]

Every time I go in on my phone, this is what I get:

[mark]

I get the same error on my phone.

Not sure if it's related (or just a local issue on my end) but lately when I open any page, I have to refresh it in order for it to "jump to the latest viewed post". It's like it doesn't remember my cache/settings on first load.
