Apologies for last few days of broken-ness

[Franck]

Hi everyone,

I wanted to apologise for the awful forum performance over the last few days.

A combination of a Trojan hack on the server and issues with the backup / re-install has meant that the forum was slow, unpredictable and plain frustrating.

I think most of the issues have now been resolved, but do let me know if you notice anything weird still.

In the meantime, I hope we can continue some of the interesting discussions started recently, and add new ones to keep us informed, entertained and a strong community of dancers.

Franck.

It still is for me.

It still is for me.

Is the forum slow for you, or just unpredictable and broken?
I'm happy to continue troubleshooting, so let me know symptoms you encounter.

I am finding it both slow and predictable to log on and also access unread posts

I was trying to say that it all seems fine to me... but posting this comment has not been trouble-free.

Thanks, I noticed that myself when replying earlier.

Back to the drawing board

Sorry

[EDIT] On the plus side, the speed seems to have improved...

To expand on the previous post - it seems fairly fast most of the time, with occasional serious slow-downs (they could be from my end though)

When posting the last post, however, I clicked on 'Post Quick Reply', and got an unexpected dialog asking me if I wanted to leave the page, warning of unsaved data. I opted to stay put, then tried again with the same result. Opted to leave the page, and it appeared to do the post, but the post came up blank. I had to edit the post to put something into it. About to find out if this one has the same problem.

[EDIT] Yep - very similar problem (it also tried to post the thing twice) - and it's taken it over five minutes to get to the point I can edit the post.

I just had this very scenario, except the post came up for me, after a really long delay. The other issue was the post came up twice. While waiting to see if the post would appear, I tried to do a Forum search in another broswer tab and both tabs seemed to hang, but both came back to life at the same time.

Trying to post from Forum Runner on my iPad now.
Great way to keep up with the forum if you have an iPhone, iPad, android device, etc.

I am getting a blank page when I view http://forum.cerocscotland.com/showt...es-discoveries

Hmmm ... I'm having problems trying to logon through my mobile. The software keeps on directing me to the App Store to buy their app .... which I don't want to do. when I cancel out of that recurring loop it kindly refuses me to log-on. Do you need to have their app now to log on through a mobile?

[Tiggerbabe]

I'm pretty sure the app is free and I must admit, I seldom log on to the forum using Safari, when I'm using my phone, but I still can do it.

I actually really like Forum Runner and it's very easy to use.

On android, it redirects you to the paid version of forum runner. You have to exit that and search the apps store for the free version of forum runner. For android it is https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...rumrunner.free
