Forum Issues

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.

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:

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.

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.

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.

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.

Still getting it on the phone

[Klaus]

I'm getting it, too. It looks to me like a regression that was introduced by a recent version of NodeBB. I'm hoping that it will be fixed in the next one.

[Klaus]

Coincidentally, the new NodeBB version was released today, and I upgraded straight away.

On my phone, search is working again. On yours, too?

Fixed! Could it have been the new iOS? My phone just updated last night.
