Good spot, liz.

There is something strange happening here.

I just posted a new thread about not seeing any new posts and suspecting something was broken. It's disappeared, no idea where too - perhaps the old forum/server. DNS?

On returning after a few minutes had to login again and there are new posts in 8 threads over the last 13 hours that I have not been able to see earlier. It's not my cache!

Same thing happened to me yesterday mid-day.

I seem to have collected a number of cookies again since last issues so will clear them shortly and start afresh - again

[Bill]

You are not alone, happened to me as well, checked in on my phone on the work wifi yesterday morning and it looked like the forum had reverted to back to just before the move. Went to investigate when I got home at 17:00 and found all was as it should be. It was suggested it could be a proxy server pulling a cached version of the site.

How odd. No proxies here or my ISP so must be further down the line. Not cache issues here either - I checked that and only run a small one.
Back with fresh cookies anyway.

I've been away on a parallel forum again for most of last night and this morning but looks like I'm back to reality for a while.

I posted a traceroute there in the hope it may get picked up but it's gone. I will add one from now, completely different to the other. If I get back there I will copy and paste that post and add it here.

There was another new post there too so others seeing the same!

Should http://bcss.org.uk/ give Internal Server Error? No IPv6?

Very bizarre obviously a caching issue some where in the system, you have probably mentioned it earlier, but what browser are you using?

Think that error is fairly straightforward fix, looks like someone forgot to point the full domain to the new website, ditto all dead links

Indeed and I hoped the other traceroute might provide a clue - but it's gone elsewhere :/

konqueror (debian kde) but I don't think that's an issue - and it seems to be happening to others too. I'll try another if it happsens again.

Thought so, expected at least a redirect

Edit: Sat 1st May
I've been out much of today but all seems to be back to normal and working as expected here now.
Many thanks

Bill

can I please make a plea for those of us with poor eyesight?

I can no longer tell which forum messages are read / unread. To my eyes, the green and brown you use for this look almost identical. Can you please replace them with a pair of colours with greater contrast? I suspect anyone who is red-green colourblind will have even worse problems than me with this...

[Bill]

I will add it to the "to do list", but do have a lot on at present.

That's me and I do.
