No matter what I do I always get "Page Unresponsive" and then the page usually crashes.
I mostly was looking for the US Soccer thread. Saw the link for it but usually get "Page Unresponsive" before I can sign in at either that link of the main page. When I can sign in on main page (rarely) then when I go to the Sports link, the I have to sign in again and/or page unresponsive. Once, just once I could could sign in on the Sports page, but then all links were dead and couldn't even get into the US Soccer thread. gu Oh well, the soccer thread is how I kept up with the National team, so I guess that's it. Was fun while it lasted. Thanks LChat for that, but seems to be no more.
snack_sized, but can't sign in.

This might be a cloudflare issue, I'm able to nagivate the sport forum and login and stay logged in.

This is the direct link to the Sport forum: https://thelchat.net/sport/viewforum.php?f=4
And this is the US Soccer thread: https://thelchat.net/sport/viewtopic.php?t=78094

Whilst good having new subsections on front of the board - you can’t actually access them from there - it requires you to register/log in?

Thank you. At least now I can bookmark a direct link to the US soccer thread. So I can get there, but any page I go to freezes with the "Unresponsive Page" notice. Link to be able to post this reply didn't work at all the first time I tried to post a thank you for the link.

This is not correct at all. Guest posting is on and working.

DA The links on the main forum's Welcome Back page (viewforum.php?f=10) for Sports and KPop take you to a login page.

#407

ETA: Should be fixed. Thanks.

We'll look into it. Guest posting is active so that message shouldn't display at all. Thanks.

Guest · #408

Can you reduce the amount of posts per page?

Guest · #409

Thanks for all you do!!!!!! I was going through serious withdrawals.

#410

Spoiler code is fixed on both kpop and sports, any issues please report here (and screenshot if applicable)

Guest · #411

Can we get some barf or nauseated smilies? It's really been missing on this board.

Guest · #412

What would really help is if there was a banner at the top of every thread page that read: "NO bisexual women, butch or masculine lesbians, men of any sexual orientation, transmen or transwomen, etc. are allowed on this L-Chat forum!"
Is this too hard to finally make it happen, Administrators and Moderators???

Guest · #414

How we can search an old page? When I Search the result write "the page as been delete"...

Guest · #415

Smurf/Mods, please make the site's header sub description the same font size as the original so debbie downer berthas can stop ruining l chat. Thank you in advance.

Guest · #416

Twitter links don't seem to be working. It just says Tweets are loading forever but it never loads. The transsexuals thread is a good example.

Guest · #417

Does the forum keep slowing down? The threads take ages to load not matter the browser or the device.

I’m having an issue with my account. I checked the help section and even sent a message through contact now. But I don’t know if the contact now feature is currently functioning properly since site return. So I though I could ask a mod for help?

I’m very sorry to bother you. Let me know if I can get a troubleshooting help regarding my account

Guest · #420

I am wondering if the search function will return to the other forum? The kpop side

Guest · #421

Oh noes

Guest · #422

The board is currently excruciatingly slow - it was fine earlier today.
(Not my tablet/Wi-Fi - all other sites fine)

I am also having this intermittent problem increasingly the last week. Fine then suddenly very slow, occasional general error, then fine again in a loop. I mostly use the sports section if that makes a difference.

DA. Fewer visitors of any kind - human or otherwise - than ever.

Guest · #427

KStew's thread is in need of serious cleaning asap.

Mod hasn't been there in days. Can admins tell her to either pay more attention to it or if she can't then say to er to just come up front and tell us not to wait on her to act and delete bs.

Guest · #428

What's with the 403 access forbidden errors?

Guest · #429

Please add "Reason: Quoting a troll" in Report this post.

Verification eating posts · #430

I don’t know when this new further verification step was added but it’s back to wiping out your response like the last attempt at it did.

It just took me 5 attempts to post something and back to having to copy and paste my post before submitting it.

It’s going to kill traffic if this continues.

Edit: attempt 2, first one ‘eaten’

It kicked in after we had a wave of new threads started about a spammy scam site, per Smurf it's a Cloudflare thing rather than something they've enabled.

Guest · #432

Same comment as above.

Twice I tried to post. Before posting it made me do the captcha thing, then sent me back to the post, with the text now deleted.

Guest · #433

To the people having trouble with the captchas, can you answer these questions:
1. Are you on mobile or desktop?
2. On home network or something else?
3. Which browser?
4. Do you get them on the sport or kpop forums?
5. Do you see them with every page navigation or every few minutes?

Thanks.

Laptop (wifi), Desktop (ethernet), and iPad (wifi).
Home network.
Google Chrome AND DuckDuckGo.
No problem opening KPOP link and opening a thread under it.
Don't know about sports (no interest in them).
Happening consistently and repeatedly in General Discussion main page, in GD threads, when move to another page, and when trying to post comment in a GD thread.

I had to captcha again ! to post this ..... and had to retype it.

Mobile.
Home network and mobile
Chrome and I'm 90% I got it when I was on Firefox too.
I don't use those forums, but I didn't when I tried browsing just now.
At the start of every "session", and then when I try to post

Guest · #437

Is the search broken at the board's end or mine, I keep getting 'JavaScript must be enabled and Google whitelisted in order to view the Custom Google Search Results' instead of any results. Never seen this before.

Guest · #438

I've lost count of how many times I've had to complete a captcha to open this website and when I want to move to another page. Also, when I try to preview a comment the first attempt is voided, the system returns another blank comment window, and I have to retype and try previewing and posting comment again.

Please fix this awful impediment in your website.

Guest · #439

FYI since this cloudflare palaver the other place is now the top hit when I search for this place. My search engine always showed here previously…

Guest · #440

Has the captcha shit suddenly gotten way, way worse all of a sudden?

Guest · #441

How many motorcycles, buses, cars, bicycles must I click on before I can get through this website's gate? The captcha's are now trolling us.

Guest · #442

I just had to work through seven sets of captcha images to make a single text post.

Can we please have an update on the Cloudflare situation?

guest · #443

None of my posts will post, it just meets the catcha and then bam its like I never wrote the post.

#444

Thanks for your patience with the recaptcha situation. Some changes were recently made that should hopefully improve the experience.

Guest · #445

‘Should’ being the operative word - no change so far. Still a stinking experience

Guest · #446

What's the point of the captchas? Do bots even post here to warrant all of this?

Where these bots proof? More likely, it is connected to the retention policy, meaning that Smurf cannot afford or does not want to bother expanding the forum and prefer minimizing visitors and posters because it is no longer manageable to moderate a larger number of people. Smurf is probably sipping some iced tea and smiling because there's less work.

They were posting like crazy the day the captcha appeared.

But again, it's not the board, it's Cloudshare, and it's affecting a ton of other sites too. So it's not just our bots, Cloudshare seems to have decided there's a generally high level of bot activity.

Guest · #449

Out of interest, for the folks working on this- I just started getting 403 errors telling me access was forbidden, so I switched to a VPN local to my own location and I actually haven't seen a Captcha since.

Very good but I don’t use a VPN. I don’t want to use a VPN. We shouldn’t have to use a VPN.
Also if everyone uses VPNs they will soon all be blocked thanks to trolls.
