Forum development & bugs updates

[EmilieT]

Hi everyone, 

In this topic, we'll post any progress on the known plaform issues that you have brought to our attention so far and that we are looking into, along with any future updates we get on them. We thought it would be good to recap what is currently being worked on, and have it all in one place so we can keep you in the loop going forward

If you spot any further issue too, please let us know in the comments!

• Kudos and posting box window not working correctly in the blog section
• New comments on Blog articles (Reviews or Guides) in Unread posts link to the initial post and not the latest comments
• Read comments stuck in Unread Posts even after being read

Current feedback being looked into

-These are being discussed with the different teams involved in the project-

• Various differences between Mobile view and Full view (list here)
• Size of the homepage header
• Image in the hompage header
• Lack of board structure on the homepage

Thanks for your patience while we work our way through all the above, and for your help spotting identifying and gathering feedback

Good to know it's been like that for a few weeks @Mi-Amigo, it'll help understand better where it came from 

I'll udpate you guys when I know more!

The dates should look much better now if you look at the Latest Topics on a member profile page

Superb, @EmilieT -- looks grand now, thank you.

The forum was on a go slow again tonight. About 22.00 for me. (others were complaining as well)

I got this when I tried to post...

And here's the second one that got me, with the "real-world time" showing at the top. 

Was scanning my PMs at the time it all ground to a halt. Another website I was on was fine throughout.

I've just edited my post @pgn . I originally posted last night, when I meant tonight!

Thanks @EmilieT 

Looks like it`s been fixed now 

[EmilieT]

@pgn @Mi-Amigo

Good to hear it looks all fixed on your end as well! 

@Cleoriff @pgn 

We'll reopen the case around intermittent slowness, and let you know once we have more info - thanks for the details on the timings and screenshots

Just a heads up as well, we've just heard that the platform provider will be doing some maintenance workfrom 12pm until 4pm today, which might affect notification emails and the notifications feed. This means you might not receive a couple of notification emails, or receive them slightly delayed, during that time!

@EmilieT 

I am experiencing intermittent slowness gain this morning. Not had the processing bar but very slow to post. Also had the unread post issue as well. A bit of a grim forum day if honest.

^^ me too!
I don't normally see it as I'm not about much in the evenings, but today it is taking longer to open links.
