thread access problem

Come on GNHQ get this sorted. Drag the technies out of bed and set them to work.

This is nearly a week now. Most of us seem to have found how to avoid the crashing but it is a nuisance.
It has still worked on my Android Tablet.

It seems to me that the problem is specifically related to the "thread title" line on the screen.

OK today on my iPhone. Using both iMac and iPad still can't access via thread title in Last Hour section but can via the name of the most recent poster. Can't get in at all via Last Day. No problem using Active. Any progress on sorting it, please?

I can get into "Last day" by Googling Gransnet+ title. Eg: Gransnet thread access problem, I can't get in the usual way and it's so annoying. I have tried with a number of titles and it works.

Now Tuesday, and the same problem is there.
But like MOnica I use active topics. Still not as good as Last Day and Last Hour.

I only get status 404 if I click on a thread under the heading 'Last Day'. I can get into most threads through 'Active' or 'I'm on'

Ah that what I was looking for. This has kept me out for a couple of days.
I have discovered quite by accident that the HTTP status error only appears on my 'puter if you hit the thread title button.
I can get the last hour to open but if you hit the thread title it crashes.
I can get in by ignoring the thread title and going directly to the name of the previous poster.

Doing that on my laptop and it just worked. This has been bugging me for two days.
GNHQ will blame the heat. I would ask them for a heatwave emoticon but it would probably crash the system again.

Still happening on iPhone, too.

The wind must be blowing the smoke signals in the wrong direction! On second thoughts, there's no wind here, so the smoke must be getting fsucked up by the thermals!

Should have said native American headdress, or even a feathered collar. Sorry. Apaches all.

We've probably been hacked by N Korea.
Why is there never a 7 year old grandson around when you need one?
Just thinking cuteboy?? con all? You could make yourselves useful!

Apache Tomcat a ginger tom wearing an Indian headdress, now that I would appreciate thanks for the explanation Elegran.

Thanks elegran. Tbh I can't believe how long it's taking GN to fix this - I'm sure there are GNers who would have it sorted by now!

I meant 404 too, Terribull finger must have slipped.
All the different possible errors have numbers, 404 is one that seems to happen often, It just means "Can't show you that page, it is inaccessible". Apache Tomcat isn't a ginger tom wearing an Indian headdress, it is apparently "an open-source Java Servlet Container"

So the problem is an issue with how some GN site files connect (or vice versa) with the server that GN uses to send the website pages to us,.

Meant Status 404, Apache Tomcat, whatever that means

Like Elegran, I'm still getting Status 440 screen first on lap top and now on tablet and can't access any threads, but opened this one via "site stuff" on the general forums display.

Well thanks to Anya and Annsixty and this problem I have discovered the shortcut for going to the end of the thread, rather than opening the thread and then going to last. Silver lining!

Still getting the Status 440 screen on Saturday morning. I hope the tech team are still working on tracing the fault.

I've got the status 404 too.....

Still can't access through last day or last hour if I tap on the thread title, can if I tap on the name of the last poster on the thread. I'm using an iPad. It's all a bit strange! Haven't tried with the iMac so no idea if that's different.

This problem is currently only occurring on 'unanswered', 'Last Hour' and 'Last Day'.
'Active', 'watching' and 'I'm on' are still usable.
The strange blue page which appears when trying to access a thread is headed 'HTTP status 404. Requested resource is not available. Apache Tomcat.'

Same problem here. I cant get the OP title post. I was just trying to look at a thread but nobody has posted in the last hour so I shall have to wait till someone else does. Last day just brings up that odd blue statement. It's been like that a couple of days.

Well I m using an iPad and everything is completely as normal so how can that be can it be what we are using ?

Like Anya I have discovered through trial and error ,if I click on the last post on the thread I can then scroll back and can read it all.

Yes, it's been like that since yesterday. If you click on the OP's header post then the 'strange message' appears and you can't access. You have to click on the name of a poster within that thread.

I'm getting used to the vagaries of GN. Multiple oddities and too often the server not working.
