Recent maintenance on website

Wow, well done Justin and friends. 👏👏

Take a bow. 😎

It’s a good job this web site wasn’t an important one that had to keep the country running or we would have been in a right mess , still ,it’s only a forum and we all lived 

When kit at work fails I'm expected to just fix it .... if it took days/weeks to do so I'd get a kick up the harris, not a pat on the back. 

Maybe while the IT team are on a roll they could do something about the near lack of search facility on CT ....

Not a major point, but when I post, I now have to manually refresh the page before I can see it. Never had to do that before, it always happened automatically.

Edit.  In fact this time even refreshing didn't do it. I had to exit the thread and come back in before it was visible.🤔

Maybe user device related? My W10 desktop is behaving as normal in that respect.

EDIT: Whoops! I have made a few posts this morning without a problem, but this post disappeared with the above post by Steve showing as the last one, and then mine reappeared after a few minutes.

I'm finding there's a delay of about 3 seconds on opening posts or threads during which time the screen whites out. It's not a huge issue but Justin might like to be aware.

Edit: I couidn't see my post, despite refreshing, until I left the page and returned. The white out pause was encountered at every stage. (Chrome on Android phone)

get yourself a decent broadband provider, Chrome, what is that !!! no problems for me and just uploaded photo without problems

After a number of days of "internal server error" I was advised to "clear your cache as there is no problem with the website".Having cleared my computor and my notebook I have now had to remember and re use my passwords for a number of sites.Managed all of that and still got the message "internal server error". I tried this morning and as if by magic it works!

So we have discovered that most of the code is done by an outside outfit who have clearly failed to deliver for a considerable period of time.  

1. On what basis did we engage them?

2. What penalties are there for failure to fulfil the contract to an acceptable level?

3. Did we originally just pick the cheapest?

4. Are we now looking for a new provider of the service?

These are the questions that senior management need to address as a matter of urgency.

Hi Tim 

Thanks for this. 

Had I seen it before this morning's review meeting, I would've mentioned it on the call. There's a follow up meeting later this afternoon, so I'll mention it then.

Regards

Justin
