Gremlins in the forum today?

I’m seeing all sorts of weird behavior in the forum today. Disappearing posts, cryptic announcements about email being disabled. Forum won’t let me upload an image.

Anyone else?

Yes check out the discussion on the uncensored thread. :woman_facepalming:

Yes. I assume it might have to do with TP working on improvements to the site but maybe not I’m not an IT person :woman_shrugging:

There appears to be a discourse update that was installed.

Thank you for starting a separate thread. Not all users follow the uncensored thread and it is important to recognize that.

I was not sure if what I was seeing was a moderator view and did not see anything early in the daily thread.

Thanks again

I wonder if the disappeared posts will come back eventually, or if they’re lost forever….

Yes. I just got a “congratulations you just installed discourse” notification. Thought I clicked on something I shouldn’t have, lol.

Yes I got that one too. I’ve been trying to upload screenshots but that’s one of the gremlins.

I made an update to a post in a thread about 30 minutes ago, but now it is gone.

Yesterday, the forum at one point stopped working entirely for several minutes. Now this.

@len and friends - any idea what’s going on?

We can’t load pics. There are trip reports happening.

THIS IS AN INTERGALACTIC EMERGENCY!

Please help???

I also seem to alternate between being logged in and being logged out. Also got the “you’ve installed discord” on my work computer and had a moment of panic.

Fortunately, NOT Discord, but Discourse. Discourse is the name of the forum software. Discord is something my kids insist I’m a boomer for not participating with them on! :smiley:

I think it deleted some posts during the update. I had posted on the open thread and corrected the date and I just had to re-do both of those actions.

Oh you are correct and that actually makes me feel better. I knew that Discord is something I probably shouldn’t be up to as an elderly millennial.

It did. In roughly the 6am ET hour there were a goodly number of posts, including pics, that were disappeared around 7am

@len, if you or @david do stop in. I will email screenshots to the webmaster since they cannot be posted here.

Seriously? :astonished: That’s a travesty :laughing:

We’re basically chatters now

Yeah, what happens when you try to upload photos?

The forum is hosted by a third-party company. We can open a ticket with them.
