Title: Board Trouble
Post by: Mourne Red on September 12, 2023, 09:29:54 AM
Anyone have trouble when posting? I keep getting database error.. Not sure if a mod has banned me or what? Hopefully this posts

I've been having issues for the past month, but that is with loading the board itself. Half the time it just times out.

Aye I couldn't even send a message to mod earlier why I made this topic.. Finally got one through after 5/6 attempts so hopefully hear something too.. Having same issue as J70 too, board taking forever to load and resulting in it timing out

Messages forwarded to board admin for investigation.

Noticed some issues earlier in the week with apostrophes, of all things.

PS...error message trying to contact admin as well.  Will keep trying.

I am finding this as well, especially if I am on my mobile. It would be the responsivness of the theme taking longer to render. Not sure of the specs of the server but it might need a bit of a boost. I know that probably involves money/funding etc.

Hi John,
Are there any themes here that suit?
