There seem to be a lot of duplicate threads about at the moment! Another gremlin in the works no doubt. I will report any I come across, hope someone can sort them out!

This seems to be a problem common to other parts of the site. Despite some members complaining that they could not post a review of a site supposedly because they had already reviewed that site in the last year the last two sites I have visited had multiple identical reviews by the same at person at the same time displayed. Two or three duplicates seems to be common. Obviously there is a common data input issue. May be just due to the person posting or reviewing being too enthusiastic and hitting the enter key too many times because the site runs slow.

I am pretty sure it's down to the exceptionally slow response times when pressing send. They have managed to prevent people posting duplicate posts within a thread but not when starting a thread. It would be good to have some acknowledgement/acceptance that the site is running so much slower than it should and what measures are being taken to overcome this problem. All the problems on this forum are down to the willingness or not of the Club to invest in the IT time to get things sorted and the length of time it takes to sort relatively simple things suggests the Club are unwilling to invest that money?

I have to double click almost everything when using an IPad, a brand new one as well! It tends not to respond on first click. The whole site is exceptionally slow as well. 

When I went onto Live Chat to discuss issues with website, the best response I was given was "can you use something other than an iPad?" Yeah, like things are any better on my Mac Book Pro! The site is just not that compatible with Apple devices.

That's a terrible answer to give you and the appropriate response is probably "No, but I can use another forum".

I am not sure it is just restricted to Apple products in terms of sending a post. When I submit a post the reply button offen goes grey and just sits there like that and there seems to be a delay before I get the little connection circle starting to work and its not until then that the post actually gets sent.

Obviously there are wider issues with Apple products and the forum which we all know about but they don't seem to be acknowledged here on the forum. Some of that is because Apple's don't use common cross platform software solutions. I have no idea how difficult that is to make the forum more user friendly towards Apple users but given that it takes an age to get quite simple things sorted I think that the prospect of the forum being more Apple friendly  is some way off?
