I already mentioned one issue in a PM to GB. Most times I can access the Board very quickly and threads open quickly. Twice I have had a problem when trying to reply. Usually I check on Preview first and then submit. Once trying to get into Preview and another time Submitting the screen seems to freeze for a long time.- at least a minute. I then get an error message. I tried various ways of getting the posts uploaded including signing out and back in again. On both occasions I assumed the post had not been listed, but each time I discovered it was there in the thread. Apparently my post yesterday about Japan and cherry blossoms ended up being posted 5 times and GB deleted 4. No idea how this happened.
The only other point posters might wish to know. It used to be possible to upload photos of almost any size. I used to upload pics of around 500kb through imgBB. Now gaybttonthai will only accept pics of 800 pixels max. This is really no problem if you use a site like shrinkpictures.com to downsize.

When you click on "add image to post" there is a resize option.fountainhall wrote: ↑Tue Apr 16, 2019 10:45 am This is really no problem if you use a site like shrinkpictures.com to downsize.
You can also continue using imgBB if you prefer.

I did not realise you can now add directly to the post. Excellent news.

On the positive side, the picture uploading facility is a big step forward & will make it much easier to write reports with pictures, once the server issues are fixed.
Also, I suppose it reduces the risk of picture hosting services screwing up all the picture threads, as Photobucket did.
Incidentally, how does this work in terms of web server workload ?
If we use a picture hosting service, does it reduce the traffic on the server for this forum, as the pictures are coming from the picture hosting site ?

The time limit for voting on the poll has expired, however you can still post about any problems you are currently having.

The usual slow response and errors yesterday (Friday). OK so far today, but I guess the web server is not busy at the moment.

Incredibly slow most of the time. Speeds up sometimes, but then reverts back to sluggish.
Some 'Error' notes, not a lot. Definitely annoying.

Re: What board problems are you having - poll
I am still finding the site often slow to load and still get a few SQL errors.
Re: What board problems are you having - poll
I don't come here every day and I have an extremely fast wifi in the US and I have never experienced any problems of slow loading over quite a few years.
But again I probably only average coming to the site 4 days out of 7.
