Pages reloading twice & very slow

[SmokinAl]

Is anybody else having a problem when you go to a post, then go back to the recents. The page loads, then goes blank, then loads up again.
My computer just did a huge update yesterday, maybe that is the problem, not SMF.

no problems on my side ...

Actually.. my problem has been when I go to a post with unread post's... when I start reading and scrolling down it will automatically jump back up to the first unread post... then I have to start all over again and find where I was at before it jumped back up to the first unread post ...

Having the same as you, Al. I'm on mobile, started last night.

 

[oddegan]

+1. Also on mobile.

Exactly the same blank screen, momentarily, as you Al..... New and different here on this end.... And my puter just did a ~2 hour update...

Same issue. Using mobile. Seems to have started when changes made to SMF several days ago. Noticed when top of page changed icons to lighting bolt and flag. Not that icons are issue but just a point of reference.

I haven't noticed what Al is, but I have experienced what Keith is. Seems like a delay or slow loading of the pages.

Yup same here. I also have had email notices repeating the ones I have already read and deleted.

I've had the same glitch that Al has combined with the screen jumping back to the top of the page sometimes. I'm using the latest version of Firefox with Windows 10 on a laptop if that matters.

Frankly, since the new format was introduced I spend a tiny fraction of the time I used to on the site. I despise the new format! A lousy 20 posts per page, no way to change that, only 10 pages of unread posts, issues loading pictures, not getting notices from subscribed threads, no member locations or post counts etc.

Hmm...enough whining. I'll crawl back under my rock now.

I bet there are a lot of guys on here that liked the old format better, but Jeff decided that we had so many members we had outgrown the old format. I'm sure as time goes on we will all come to like this format just as well as the old one. I'm sure Jeff will keep changing stuff & adding new stuff. There are a lot of things I miss from the old format & I'm trying very hard to get used to the new one. I guess the older you get the harder it is to change. Heck, I just got a smart phone last year. Until then I had an old flip phone, and I probably would still have one if I didn't drop it in the pool. Judy has had a smart phone for a couple of years & talked me into getting one too. Still trying to learn how to use that too!

Yup---Kinda what happened to me on my Vietnam/Memorial Day Post this morning.

I wrote it up & clicked to post, and it went to a blank screen.
So I wrote it up again & posted it.
Then it ended up with both of them posting.
Had to get Al to remove the one.

BTW: Mrs Bear has a Smart Phone, but all I got is a Land Line.
I think I don't qualify for a "Smart" Phone---HMMMmmmm.......

OK now I'm getting big black boxes that just block out parts of the screen. And the typing is real slow.
I get done with a sentence & wait for a couple of seconds for it to fill in.
I'm going to go have some leftover ribs & a beer. See you guys in a while!!

No Black boxes here, but my typing has always been relatively slow.
Could be because it's all done with my one finger?
Beer doesn't help---It just slows up that one finger!!

Haven't experienced any black boxes, but in my younger days I experienced black outs.

Strange how it is not happening to all of us...I have no issues, mobile or PC...

Maybe you're drinking the wrong stuff.

I've noticed I'm getting email notifications that are obsolete (super late.) Just got one from 5.24.18 but already read it online but had to read it again in the super late email The single email notification for a thread regardless of the number of new posts is acting up, whereby online when the flag with ten alerts showing goes to five when reading a thread with five new posts.
