    Had issues loading the site this morning and a little bit of slowness persists after e.g. when I hit the button to post, for 5ish seconds the toolbar will still show a draft pending then everything updates.

    Also getting "lost connection" orange text pop-up a couple of times posting this

    There's a few banned IP addresses (spammers mostly)

    Next time you're on without the VPN can you make note of your IP address? Then send me a PM with it

    Looks like these had broken again. There was a small change to the instagram urls so I had to update the pattern matching.

    Should be good now. No idea how long it was broken

    [Edit] Actually there seem to be a couple of different urls styles now. So not every embed was broken. It works for both styles now

    @Stargazer Yeah I've noticed recently a lot of replies don't seem to show against the post that was replied to. I'm sure they used to.

    An example FYI.

    @MajorPom replying to @ACT-Crusader but not showing up in the latter's post.

    Just tried again. I can see a slide but it doesn't seem to want to move when I either swipe the line or the icons. S22+. UPDATE: I can only seem to access it by going to landscape view

    The spoiler and help buttons don't move, you need to slide the bar from anywhere to the left of them.

    Yeah that’s what I mean. Technically it would be difficult to get the forum header on the website pages

    @Duluth Murphy's Law I tried again just this now with a total of 997 characters on a talk thread that previously rejected it and hey presto it went through. Thanks for your help, hopefully the initial problem has gone away!

    All looks very different on my iPad now and has lost the date/time stamps on posts.
    No dark mode either.

    But it looks correct on other devices/computers?

    Have you tried clearing your browser cache?

    I often use chrome on an ipad and just tested with safari and it seems fine. Does anyone else have a similar problem?

    I'll give it a try. It is only on the very old ipad mini that I use as bedtime reading. Could be that I am past available Safari versions that this is now optimised for.
