When is this forum going to get fixed?????

[Blackpopracing]

I can access the main section, read & post threads & replies, but if I try anything else it does not work.
This is the same on my PC, Laptop, Tablet & phone - so its not an issue with any particular bit of equipment or software.



If I try to open my private messages, community, or quick links I just get this page instead;



This issue has been since the forum got 'upgraded' so it's really overdue to be fixed

Previously when you reported this, we established that all worked OK from your workplace: http://www.nsra.org.uk/newforum/showthread.php?83813

And as no other user seems to have this issue, we have to assume that there's something different at your home setup.

If PC, laptop, & tablet all exhibit the same problem at home, I'd have to guess at something that they all share - your router, wifi, network, or ISP.

The strange menu layout you see is where the CSS has not loaded properly, and usually a F5 or Ctrl+F5 refresh will fix that (or deleting all cache & temp files, which you do regularly).
If not, maybe you're blocking javascript somewhere along the line, or your ISP or router is blocking something, or your ISP has cached a little bit of the 'old' forum code?
(ISPs also use caching: https://geekhost.ca/supp/index.php?r...P-caching.html ).

A 'fix' of the forum is a long way off. This forum software is at the end of its useful life and a move to a completely new forum is more likely.

Mine works perfectly. Maybe there's something vital blocked in your internet providers end of the deal?

Ok, I'll investigate those links Ian, it's the no access to PM's that's a bugbear.

What I dont get though is how half the links work fine but the other half don't??

Ian,

Been playing with various things.
I can now access messages on my tablet & phone - so not ISP.

I can access messages in Microsoft edge.

I cannot access them in firefox? (my main browser).
I've turned off all my adblockers and ghostery and all extensions - but still does not work?
Even in diagnostic mode (everything disabled) it still has the error?

Any ideas?

I've just had a message on Facebook that the new NSRA web site is now live. Looks to be this one when the link is followed.

Umm.. what change enabled the tablet & phone? I assume both are Android?
Can you borrow and try another PC or laptop that is known to work elsewhere?
Try Chrome browser?
Just trial and error.. apart from that, hard to say, but seems specific to your home setup.

I use Brave at work and home (with ad blockers/pop-up blockers) and have problems with some websites although that's usually places like this forum with http and not https. They also won't cooperate with with any home banking and finance sites. Sometimes I get a "not available" failure on sites I've previously visited and following advice from our work IT bloke switch my wifi router off and on again and that clears the fault - he has told me what the issue is due to but I just put it down to being techno****e.
