grendel Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 no that was me, i did a forum upgrade and when it came back it had gone horribly wrong, the hosts did admit to a couple of bugs in their upgrade though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaughan Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Wow, it looks like it has all come back, just now! I suddenly realised I was looking at avatars and photos again. Well done the team! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadAmbition Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Hmmm, tentatively I think all is now back to normal? Griff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadAmbition Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 The issues seem to be getting better but not quite all there yet it seems. The 'Last 24 Hrs' button ain't working correctly yet. At least my anti virus defender has now stopped sending me multiple alerts when I log on Griff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LizG Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Thanks for all the hard work - however, is it me or has the App packed up now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldgregg Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 There were some issues with the App, and some issues with the forum partly caused by the plugin that feeds the App. Because of that, the App is currently disabled while we make sure everything else is working. This upgrade has been a complete mare and is making us think about our platform and the way we do updates. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouldy Posted September 17, 2020 Author Share Posted September 17, 2020 I added a post to the the ‘Forum Issue’ thread this morning and it did not appear. Grendel had posted that new pages weren’t being added when needed, so does anyone know whether this has been resolved yet? Also, thanks to all involved with restoring some sense of normality to the Forum. I was beginning to wonder whether it too had being inflicted with a ruddy virus!!

grendel Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 we believe we may have resolved that issue by removing the link that ran the apps, new pages are appearing now, as are likes and PM's are working again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldgregg Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Yeah, disabling the plugin for the Apps has made pretty much everything work now. Unfortunately it does mean we can't turn the Apps back on until there's a fix for the service that runs them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwanR Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 It’s a vast improvement this afternoon with the hamburger menu back and being able to get to notifications and messages and the ability to change which view I’m looking at, all on the browser on my phone. Great stuff. Thank you so much. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YnysMon Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 A really big thank you to the techy team. Must have been a nightmare! I know we are not ‘out of the woods’ yet with ongoing issues with the app, but you’ve done wonders. No pressure guys, but I’ll be on the Broads from Saturday with no WiFi, so that app would really come in handy. Just kidding. You know I normally stay pretty much offline when chillin’ on Broads time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendel Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 the app wasnt really working when we made the choice to turn it off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say that's pretty unlikely - But of course you can visit forum.norfolkbroadsnetwork.com on your mobile and you'll find this latest version works even better on it. And of course you could always hotspot off your phone and use laptop / tablet etc. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwanR Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 I’ve had the app on my phone for a long time but rarely use it. I prefer just using the website as normal in a browser. I got fed up with all our emoticons appearing as the text codes behind them instead of the pictures. I don’t know whether that ever changed.

YnysMon Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 I did say I was just kidding! Like Jean, I’ve never used the app much anyway. Thanks for the info, though I have no idea how to ‘hot spot’. I also have a very cheap mobile package, which I opted for because I didn’t used to use data much. Doh!

I don’t know whether that ever changed. It didn't. The app is built by a third party and supports lots of different types of forum software so it's not quite the same experience as using the forum software here and doesn't support a lot of the forum features. At some stage there will be a completely new App, but that's a way off yet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floydraser Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Big thanks and well done to the techy team. I wouldn't have known where to start looking for the problem but it's usually the points or distributor cap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poppy Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 We seem to have lost the 'Edit' facility. I recognised a 'typo' as a recent post of mine was loading. When it 'landed ' there was no edit button. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grendel Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 have you tried clearing your cache, plus are you trying this on a tablet or phone, or on a full pc because the way things work changes in the mobile view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
