Board Glitches


Recommended Posts

Posted

Sometimes the board does weird things.  Edit buttons will disappear, posters will seem to be banned from accessing the board without any bad behavior to explain it, etc.

If that happens, try clearing your cookies, changing your browser, and waiting a few hours to a day.  Usually that will solve the problem.  If after doing all of that, you are still not able to post, then let us know and we will check it out.

Might be wise to get a buddy's email address in case of being blocked from seeing the site at all so they can notify mods for you.  Lasted only an hour for me, but long enough to find not one piece of my tech worked in the house (5 or 6 options) after clearing cookies, etc.  Came back on its own thankfully.

I have noticed, I received a notice that a poster answered on my recent thread, but nothing from her there.

Well, the Board obviously doesn't think much of your opinion of what constitutes a worthwhile post, Brother Lloyd! :rolleyes:

;) :D

I was beginning to wonder!

But I figured out that it will register my rep point if I tap twice — once on the heart icon and once on the cumulative rep points for the post. (It is on my iPod touch that I’ve been having the problem).

I went through the same issue.  It's kind of confusing on why mobile rep points work that way but it's not too big of an issue once someone realizes that's what needs to be done.

Also important to know:  Site Contact doesn't work.  We can see your posts but can't respond to them in a way that you can read. 

@SouthernMo, checking into your situation.

The board is off and on very slow loading pages for me.  This could be an issue with my tech, but thought I would mention it in case it is bugging anyone else...comfort in knowing others suffer as well.  :)  No need to look into it if only me.

I wonder if others have this problem. I was wondering why my rep point count is not 6,000. 🤠

@FearlessFixxer, as far as I can tell, you are not under any restrictions and should be able to post or start threads.  Try clearing your cookies or using a different browser to see if it makes a difference.

@Jeanne, were you able to get back on?

So, I cleared everything.  even logged out and logged back in twice.

 

I am getting the following error:

403

Forbidden

Access to this resource on the server is denied!

Are you only getting it when you try to start a thread or at other times too?

I actually just commented on a thread in the General discussions with no problem

I got the “403 forbidden” error yesterday.   I tried a bunch of different things and nothing worked.  It was weird because I had no problems posting otherwise.  I realized it must be because of the content of this particular post.  I had used the word “sexual” multiple times in a single post, and apparently you can’t use it more than a couple times...weird!  Look to see if there is any language in your post that might be “offensive” and edit those words.  I changed  all the offending words to “s-xual” and it posted without error.  Hope this helps.

Let me try changing up the language

Any mention of drug names will automatically get blocked, I believe it is built in to avoid spamming of online advertising.  Seems like anything that might be used in discussing illegal or immoral acts such as porn or info promoting illegal drug use got dumped in a limited usage category.

I just got blocked with 403 by putting prescription after online in the above.

Just to be clear, I am not having any trouble accessing the board, posting, or anything now.

But for a couple of weeks it was a constant stream of 403 Forbiddens, and it wasn't because I was posting about s e x  or  m a r i j u a n a.  Or any other drug.  It happened to virtually every post I tried to make for a while. Then suddenly it stopped happening, and I have no idea why.

A double tap on the heart will do at least on my machine.

Got the same thing just now- simply regular post quoting two different Ensign articles- while leaving the Ensign formatting intact.  Post was concerning "no sin" by Adam and Eve

On my phone, I have to do what Scott does, on my IPad, what Mark does.
