Title: Site no longer shows new messages.
Post by: irockhound on May 25, 2019, 03:23:29 PM
Weird thing this last week.  When I open the forum on my pc it shows there are no new posts since my last visit but if I look at the main forum page I can see posts dated today that I haven't read.  No changes to my machine and using Chrome 74.0 and on Windows 10.  Wondering if something odd could trigger it like maybe the virus program that pre-checks site safety or maybe something really out there like a tablet in the house that visited the site and still has it open but tablet is shut off.  Would site still register that I hadn't left so nothing new?

I couldn't access the site at all for a couple of days this week. It said the server was unable to respond. Might be a related issue...

That happens to me on occasion with this forum.  I think it'a kind of buggy sometimes.

We were down for a couple of days this week.  Other boards were having difficulties, too.  It had to do with the site cache.  Unsure what caused it, but it could have been someone hacking into forums and just to wreak some havoc.

irockhound - I stay signed in to the board all time and it doesn't seem to affect the new post thing.  It just could be because Sir Osis had to go in and fix the cache thing.  If it got cleared out, it probably reset everyone in terms of when they were logged in.  I'm just guessing here, but that may be it.

I had the same issue.  Used to be the new thread thing worked fine, then stopped a few days ago.
