Darth Richard II Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Yeah it stopped for a bit but just got one a few mins ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mexal Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Not sure what's going on with the ads but I'm getting ones that are playing some video at top and bottom and every time I read a thread, it automatically goes to the bottom to look at the ad. I scroll up, then it goes to the bottom again. I type in this reply and it tries to go to the top and bottom to play the ad. It makes it impossible to read the forum. This happening to anyone else?

Lightning Lord Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Yes, it's happening to me, too. I am also getting redirected, though I didn't pay attention to what site it was. I am glad...err... not glad, but it's... whatever, it's not just me. I will try to get screen shots and URLs next time it happens.

Darth Richard II Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 I'm getting redirected like crazy today. I'll try and capture the url if I can but its been real bad, almost unusable. Weirdly, I was just reading an article about how sneaky and annoying phishers have been getting with t hings lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez Bell Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Hello. I'm having problems with updating my profile. I can update basic info, but as soon as I click the "about me" field, the page crashes. Then it saves a bunch of random characters in that field. I can also not update the header image. It just isn't saving the image. I have tried multiple sizes and resolutions these problems are happening on a desktop running windows 10 and an iPhone in Safari Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hello World Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 I hope I'm not the only one getting problems since yesterday... I assume it has something to do with the show back on? The site is extremely slow to load, and most of the time it gives me a message that it's down and I can retry for live version or something.

Ran Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 We are definitely aware of the issue after the first episode aired, and will try to sort it out soon. Unfortunately we are not at home and have not had time to work on the problem. Bear with us a couple of days and we'll with on tuning the system further.

Ran Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 We've made a couple of backend tweaks that seem to have reduced server load substantially... but there's the niggling problem that sometimes it also leads to the database getting quite backed up for no obvious reason. We're monitoring it and trying to fix the problem as it happens, but it may take a day or two to sort out the precise solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparks Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 (Having everyone involved out-of-town the Monday after the first episode was, sadly, not ideal! Pesky offline life considerations.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhaenys_Targaryen Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 A wiki-related error: About half of the times I try to place a new image (which has been uploaded long ago and is used on multiple pages without a problem) on a page, I get the error "Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Hmm, okay. Sounds like a possible permission issue. Shall look into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 @Rhaenys_Targaryen, I have made a change to settings to try and explicitly define a temporary directory. Let me know if that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedEyedGhost Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 This website is killing me on Chrome on both my macbook air and pro. I always keep it open in a tab, and lately it will randomly reload that page even if it's been hours since I last clicked on anything here or had that tab to the front. It's causing my machines to run very hot and eating a lot of juice. The ad I seem to see most commonly when it occurs is for Sling TV, but it's not always there when the problem occurs. Today it bogged down my machine so much that I've started just closing the tab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedEyedGhost Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I cleared my cache and rebooted my laptop this morning, and tonight I've got an ad for Epic Ski that is autoplaying video, and it did sound for a short time. Big drag on responsiveness and it made my laptop extremely hot again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had happened a few days earlier as well. And on other pages, the same image displays just as it should. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kissdbyfire Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 (edited) I have two weird things happening... First, for the past week/10 days, my settings change on their own or it's a poltergeist. I start following any threads I post in, and after realising I wasn't getting notifications for threads I had posted in I decided to check my settings. And sure enough, that option was in-checked. I turned it on again, but it turned itself off again. And we've been at it ever since. Second, and this has just happened now for the first time... I was trying to post and when I hit "submit" the box to the left that says "notify me of replies" and looks green (because it's checked) turned grey, unchecked, and the post never went through. Any suggestions? ETA: # 2 obviously didn't happen here! Edited August 13, 2017 by kissdbyfire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meera of Tarth Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 None of my devices remembers my name or password and I have to sign in and write them every time despite always having the "remember me" box turnt on. It started happening about a week ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May I suggest that you and Kissdbyfire clear your caches and see what happens? in regard to these issues? Or at least clear your westeros.org-related cookies.
