Forum is acting up.. ??

by Espyridion November 6th 2014, 4:29 pm

I am the creator of 'Waggin Tails' - a forum created for dog lovers when we decided to branch out from a main forum not connected with forumotion.

This morning, the forum was working fine - I had done nothing to it and was simply chatting with a member when things began to get 'wonky'. The forum background began glitching, standard buttons became unclickable (buttons affecting text, text placement, youtube links, font, etc) and scripts were being displayed in the 'Quick Reply' box.My administration panel has also become inaccessible unless I go through a user profile and the co-administrator hasn't been online in days. To my knowledge, he has not given anyone access to the panel and I do appear to have the same abilities.

I have tried to resynchronise the forum, and it has appeared to do nothing. My members tell me they're not having problems.

I have not had to deal with something like this from your platform in the 3 years I've had a forum with you. I am going to try restarting my computer, however if this doesn't work I'm not sure what else to do as there is nothing visibly out of place.

Please help?

Hello, I believe the problems with replying to threads, sending PMs, starting new topics, editing posts, have to do with "illiweb" being slow. I get the message "waiting for illiweb" when I try to perform any of these functions and this has been going on most of the day. It is happening here on the Forum of the Forums as well. Therefore, I know it is not just my site (plus as you can see from the posts here, others are having the same trouble). I don't believe "re-syncing" the forum will clear this up.

I have added the "quick reply" box to my threads which I didn't have in place before so that my members don't have to wait for a window to open in order to post a reply (opening a window takes several minutes). If you preview a message before posting, this too requires a long wait.

Hopefully they will get this fixed soon.

Ok, I just performed the resynchronization.

Information

Forum resynchronized successfully

Forum Configuration Updated Successfully

That did NOT fix the problem.

What else can I try?

thanks

I took a screenshot of my forum which was doing the same thing in case you still needed it but as I suspected (as posted previously), it was more than likely a temporary server problem. As of today, everything is working again on my site and hopefully others will find that their same issues have been cleared up. Smile

Edited to add that things are working using the Firefox browser but not Internet Explorer.
