Has there been a problem with the forum?

I've been having a problem connecting to the forum on and off since yesterday afternoon, both on my phone and laptop (iPhone/Mac).

Anybody else having an issue? I'm trying to determine if it's on my end or with the forum itself. 

In reply to Woody (Forum Supportum) :

It's not just you.  I've experienced the same thing.

It's seemed a little buggy to me too. Not loading correctly, log in required multiple times, slow loading. All hit or miss.

Same here, I wasn't able to use the forum last night and it just came back like an hour or two ago for me.

Yep.

Same issue here, it finally came back online later last night, but was very slow. Seems to be a bit better this morning.

they switch to the new site?

It's looking fine and just how I remember it this morning, so if this is the new site, it's a very good copy of the old site.

Last night it was quite slow and buggy but I was still able to talk about myself on here so the important stuff was still working.

I was logged out. I believe there was an update, because the image hotlinking interface is different now.

Yup, trouble accessing the site - could not log on when I did. 

EDIT - still running very slowly

It just asked me to log in (which it did slowly) and I had not loged out after my last post. It would not work at all for me last night.

It seems to be working on my phone now, but I keep getting the 404 on the Mac.

looks like it.  the Quote/comment space looks a different;  and the backend-UI I interface with is very newer

Darn, we were hoping it would go so seamlessly that nobody would notice!

Yes, as of shortly before sunrise this morning, we're now up and running on brand new underpinnings. Sounds like the devs hit a few speed bumps, but have mostly gotten past them now. By mid-day things should be 100% functional (and please let me know if they aren't).

Why the change? Well, now that we've freshened up the underpinnings, we can start improving the parts of the site you see. More news on that coming soon.

Thank you for all the hard work, Tom and staff and devs!

Just a quick note thing that the pictures I'm uploading are getting turned upside down and I can't quite figure out how to change that. Other than that things are running quite smoothly this moring. Thanks for the upgrade. 

The picture hotlinking works a little funky if its too large for the maximum size of the forum. It just scales down the dimension that is too large and leaves the other size alone, so it looks all squished up.

Was running very slowly last night then this morning I got 404 error and realized that my bookmark no longer worked. Had to delete it and create a new one. So far working fine now.

Been super buggy on chrome on a phone, will keep ya updated.

I have seen that on my apple phone using Safari, but the same pic works fine on my desktop. 

The last Opel GT on the unicorn thread was doing that for me. 

Please tell me the new software has a 'first unread' feature in reply notifications...

Clicking the "add a link button" just freezes the page.

Yep, photos are squished up on my phone as well

Thanks, everybody! Devs are on it.

Does the new format-changes still automatically size your pictures to fit?  I just tried  adding some to the "deck" thread and the new way fills the screen with options and I don't think sizes it.

But I'm a dinosaur....
