bit-tech 2017 refresh feedback: Bugs and errors

Having trouble editing posts. I click the edit link at the bottom of a post, but when I then click "More Options" I get this error:



I can control-click the "Edit" link to open it in a new tab, but that doesn't give me the option to edit the thread prefix or title.

EDIT: Figured out how to edit titles & prefixes, but I still get this error when clicking "More Options" when editing a post.

 

Hey guys

I'm suffering shocking performance today. Generally the new site is noticeably slower than the old one, but I'm looking at page load times of 16s for a page I've already visited!

Looks like a CSS file failing and everything else waiting for it.

Hi, the forum 'stay logged in' has never worked (In my browser of choice) since the refresh. Have deleted existing cookies, but it makes no difference.

This is in Safari on Sierra. Fine on Chrome.

Issue is specific to bit-tech forums. Never have any issues on any other site.

 

I know it has been suggested that the reason the forum is not remembering my password is due to me having it on too many PCs or something? I dunno.

It's doing weird things. If I enter the site without the forum (so the main site) I am not signed in. However, if I then click "Forum" I enter the forum signed in. I also noticed today that whilst browsing the forum logged out it randomly logs me in upon page refresh. I do remember it telling me something about needing to accept cookies when I first came onto the new site but couldn't see anywhere to accept them. I don't know if it's related?

I don't like the mobile site from my phone either (Android lollipop Chrome). There is no forum tab on the front main page and you can't see anything that is going on in the forums. Just a list of each one. I would like a full site option please, as I have a very large phone and more than enough CPU power to run it.

 

I keep getting redirected to the mobile site, a simple refresh takes me back to the desktop one. Annoying nevertheless.

On Windows 10 and Chrome

 

getting an error (i dont have permission to view this page or perform this action) when trying to look at the Phanteks Enthoo Evolv Shift Review comments section by clicking on the speech bubble thing or by clicking "view this in the forums" link at the bottom. Also doesn't appear to be in the Article Discussion forum either.

 

Same here - can't access the comments by clicking on the link at the bottom of the article - it asks me to log in again and then says I don;t have permission. It isn't showing in the article discussion forum either. Tried it in Opera and Microsoft Edge.

 

Ditto

 

Over the past few days I've been having intermittent x404s and connection time outs trying to access any part of BT. At the same time I get the same with hexus. That's on FF/IE/Chrome on several computers and on my phone. Anything going on? Every other site is fine BTW.

 

Anyone reading these bug reports? Not seen any updates recently.

 

Thought it may due to you backend tinkering - wonkyness has straightened itself out thanks.

This is starting to sound like Carry On IT.

 

Is the dropdown on the main or mobile site? can't say I have noticed it.

 

Yeah as far as i've seen it was only that one article. I was browsing old stuff and some images were missing but not sure it matters.

 

Is there no need to delete messages or conversations as they are called now?
I note that i have 8 pages of them and can see no way to get rid of say 7 pages worth?

 

Hey it's Saturday, go for a beer or two.
