Is it just me, or have the "reaction" emojis (Oh yes, Hugs, You're talking shit etc) and the little red tab on posts to view/post them been removed?

No real issue if they have - just curious.

It was playing up, all of a sudden, so I merely deactivated it until I get a moment to investigate the whys and wherefores.

Sorry to report that the Host Errors are continuing - couldn't connect at 8am. This has been ongoing for the past week, but seems to be getting worse.

Also, posting sometimes takes minutes to respond. It's tempting to hit Submit again in desperation, which could be the source of the double posts we occasionally see.

It is. I've been seeing the Cloudflare stuff for some time and posts sometimes do take a long time to load. If you do hit 'submit' again, you usually get a message saying "At least one other post etc." and there will be your post so at this point, I just click and cancel the second post before it loads.

I have noticed of late on other forums that they've been besieged by spammers, for what reason I know not: one forum I follow used to get over 2,000 people online at once (a normal figure was under fifty) and as a result, their allocated data got eaten up in a few days and took them off-line until the new calendar month reset the data allocation, at which point it repeated. Other forums I use have now geo-restricted posters to the UK and e.g. Australia *only*.

Fact is, this software is old and really starting to show it. I have made some changes to the php configuration and, whilst I don't imagine that it will mitigate all the bugs, I am merely trying to manage them out of the overall experience.

Onwards and sidewards.
