[Rhapsodies Fire]

Just wanted to report that I'm seeing folks having difficulty with likes not completing, PMs not sending, and being unable to post or reply to threads, intermittently. I've experienced difficulties with the like function and when filling out a PM to send, the addressee isn't filling out, so I can't send. I'm using Google Chrome on Windows 8. One person had limited success with shutting the browser down and restarting. I don't know what OS or browsers anyone else is using.

All I know is about 30 mins ago or so I was unable to get in the forum. It was as if the forum was down. Maybe that has something to do with the problems earlier.

 

[MiamiMom63]

Actually, probably not that long ago. Maybe 15 mins ago.

All the above issues and I signed off ECF and restarted my browser. Using Windows XP with Firefox 24. Was able to send a PM, like posts and reply to posts after restart of browser.

Generally, if you're having issues with things sending, give it some time. Remember, there are multiple servers at work on ECF, and sometimes work on one results in slow downs on the others.

Logging out, clearing cache and cookies, then logging back in often helps with these types of issues as well.

Logged out. Closed browser. Opened browser. Cleared history (including cookies and site preferences). Closed again. Opened again.

Back to ECF. Still can't clear 'like' notifications. Can do likes though. That was intermittent throughout the day. So maybe the 'like' database/subsystem/thing/whatever is still an issue. Maybe a duplication issue through CDN or other server issue. Some users reported they could see their likes just fine.

If they'd get a "don't notify me about likes" thing working, it would save you a lot of bandwidth and sever workload. Just my best guess without knowing the details and just and FYI.

Something is choking somewhere.

Can't access any profiles, can't access info in my own profile. Pages - like this one - start loading with a huge siiiiggghhh of no data getting through, then the page load finally completes.

Pinging www.e-cigarette-forum.com shows 100% packet loss every third attempt or so.

Done all the "magic" on my end - logged out, manually removed ECF cookies, cleared cache, closed browser, reset network connection yadda yadda yadda... The problem is happening on ECF. The problem is not happening any place else I visit in internets land.

It's all that persons fault that did the 10 millionth post. Lol.

 

[Rickajho]

Now I can't even access my own profile at all. I have a notification that I received another like (I see you there Robino1...) but access to my profile - or anyone else - just chokes. Wazzup with the server that stores profile information? It's hanging on /forum/member and whatever it's trying to access it ain't getting at.

 

[pufZeppelin]

I think it's because the GOV is getting ready to shut down

 

[Robino1]

LOL! I'll stop liking until after they are back to working when accessed in notifications.


I haven't been able to access and clear out likes since early this afternoon. Had some other issues also, but those seem to be straightened out. When I was having problems with trying to reply with a quote, I had no problems after jumping onto Tapatalk.

 

[tiburonfirst]

i had no problems whatsoever yesterday but twice this morning when i used my mouse to click 'back one page' i'm getting 'page not found'

 

[AttyPops]

"likes" cleared this a.m.
