Internal server errors continue almost continuously on the latest activity page for me 😢😡🤐

Or often I look in and find site closed for maintenance..... 

I cannot recall any other site I visit that has the site closed so often. Generally if there is to be an offline period its notified well in advance!

We'll never know if the lowering of occupancy/bookings, if these occur - some seem to think they don't, are the result of deposits or the fact that you have an 'window' to book a site and this site isn't functioning.... How the club can evaluate things can't be an was task 🤔

The only time I use "Latest Activity" is when I read through the reviews everyday otherwise I look at the forum section by section and perhaps have less experience of server errors? As far as closing CT for site maintenance that tends to happen after 10.00pm at night which I don't think is unreasonable? Surely most people want to use the entire website during day and evening rather than into the night. I do appreciate that we have far more closures than many other websites but if they need to do it better to do it when they do.

Latest activity is my go to page. In the 5 years ir so I've been using the site and forum I have never worked out the discussions page!

Yes overnight maintenance is certainly the best time from most folks point of view. But I've found it early evening and early mornings too. It can be out 10ish-8ish that should give plenty of maintenance time 😉

Nothing we can do other than wish or leave 😢. I like to think I've got to 'know' posters and enjoy 'what you are you all up to'  thread. Which I keep open on a tab, along with latest activity and, I've learnt any other thread I'm currently interested in. Otherwise it's all a shame. We don't need to book sites now so I can't comment there.

The being notified in advance of shut downs for maintenance was very short lived too ☹️

David, I appreciate that this is off subject but I tried to view the reviews in the "Latest Activity" section and found that I could only access those submitted today. Is this a new occurrence as I used to be able to go back numerous days, if not weeks, to see those submitted? I do not often have sufficient time to view them every day and thought, as I had time this evening, that I would catch with what was being said over the last few days.

It’s probably like the discussion posts, Nellie, where a server error seems to wipe out the older posts. Sometimes it wipes our own posting history in our profiles as well so it’s not unlikely that reviews or stories would be affected similarly.

Thanks, TW.That's a bit of a blow as the reviews of the CLs are helpful in identifying potential one for us to use without having to read each CLs review in an area we wish to visit, as I highlight ones that will interest us in the future.

I don't know. I looked at todays reviews and didn't seem to have a full days worth, in so far as I usually scroll down until I see the previous days date. The other day I couldn't get on the reviews at all but the next day I could see two days worth so goodness knows what is happening? Having said that I have often come across the situation where the reviews come to an abrupt end.
