@bdthree – Lee – not sure if it’s relevant, but might help, I’ve stayed logged in to the site all through today, so it hasn’t kicked me off or needed logging back in.

There was one glitch earlier this afternoon. I refreshed the site from my bookmark tab – it was still there, but just showing 1 – 3 of three topics. An hour or so later it was showing the usual 700 odd topics again.

I think I noticed a site database reset over the week end. If this actually happened you may be interested in this WordPress exploit going around:

Sorry I broke your website twice!

The first time was searching for ‘new phone’, the second was going back through the forum pages. Pages 1-12 opened OK Page 13 barfed and as shown stated that the website has a critical error.

I am in the middle of tinkering and the site did not like it. Should be ok now.

Lots of crashes going on as the site gets too big for its boots “Server”. I have had to upgrade the server which I could have done without but the crashes were getting on my nerves. 2 Extra cores + an extra 4gb ram will hopefully sort the issue. I will have to restart the server at 3 on the dot. 5 mins downtime max.

Lee, I’m sure you know, but nearly all the forum indices/new topics etc are broken.:cry:

On my laptop @133 x 766. Editing is shifted to the right. I am being very careful here how far I type!

If I type beyond the right edge of the screen everything gets shifted right so that the submit button disappears i.e. the whole editing area has shifted.

If I start a new post and paste in the text its still shifted but the word wrapping

doesn’t cause the same issue as typing as you can see.

Inserting a picture takes 2 clicks of the OK button.

This happs with me as well. However, switching to typing in text is a workaround the issue for me. Just means no rich text.

+1 for Drezha’s comment. Under some circumstances I was also losing the Submit button. But its OK now!

A few things have been repaired but I can not confirm if the fixes are working for you. Please let me know.

Trying to post in Visual as opposed to Text and for starters, the cursor is back in top left corner not ‘margin’d’ across. Here goes.

Edit – @bdthree that worked fine. Cheers Lee.

Seems to be fine, let me try writing enough crap to get over the end of the line and see if word wrapping is working OK.

It is :yahoo:
