Site stuff

Site freezes

The GN site page freezes. It happens at the worst moments like when I've just written a response to someone and the page freezes, so I have to log out and log in again. The message of course has been lost by then.

Is it happening to others or is it my laptop, although it's not happening on other sites?

Would welcome advice.

It’s happening right now Ginny and I keep getting “bad gateway” too .

It happens to me every time I try to post a response.
Now I always copy my answer so that I can paste it in when I've logged in again.

Will it let you copy your reply before you go out and in again. And then you can paste reply.

I got Bad Gateway before I managed to post that reply.

Crossed posts there septimia. smile

Sometimes I remember to copy as I'm writing so I don't lose the whole message, but other times it's completely frozen so I can't copy. Yes, when I try to go back in it says - error bad gateway.

It's such nuisance, but glad it's not just me/my machine.

A real pain in the a*se. Just tried to add another report to that puerile 4 letter word thread and it’s frozen. I thought maybe mistakenly that several reports might attract a GNHQ attention

How do you report a thread.

Sorry - it's been a tad busy this evening grin. Will get tech to look into this first thing

Our tech team are looking into this now. We'll let you know once we have an update.

Oh yes, I get this a lot, - but I thought it was my fault!

Katek Thu 04-Apr-19 11:04:52

Anyone else finding it difficult to move between threads or open second or subsequent pages in a thread? I’m getting v frustrated!!

Ginny42 Thu 04-Apr-19 11:32:28

I just presumed it was because it must be a huge database.

Katek Thu 04-Apr-19 11:40:25

It’s only just started in last couple of weeks for me-since big issues in mid March

SarahGransnet (GNHQ) Thu 04-Apr-19 15:14:16

Tech are still looking into this - we haven't forgotten! smile

Sometimes I get a blank page with a purple or blue stripe at the top which puzzles me (and it doesn't take much!) so I leave the site if I can work out how and try to go in again.
Mostly it works.

It's still freezing for me. I have to go back a page and then forward to free it.

EllanVannin Sun 07-Apr-19 19:53:31

I've had to re-boot a couple of times today-----not for the first time. The page went quite scatty earlier with the cursor having a mind of its own and the print enlarging. I swear there's a gremlin inside the laptop which knows when to strike.

I frequently lose my internet connection when using my Kindle fire but it only seems to happen with GN.
Other app's seem fine.

We'll flag this up with our tech team for you again first thing tomorrow so we can get this sorted for you. smile
