NPN Forum strange behaviour

We are still experiencing some strange behaviour on the NPN forums - this normally appears as an inability to return to the forum index using the 'Return to index' link between topic replies - with a blank or restricted index page shown instead.

If you experience this behaviour, then the simplest work-around at the moment is to use your web browser's 'back' button or arrow to return to the index, or re-select the forum from the drop down list at the top of the page.

Sorry for the inconvenience - we are looking into this issue and one or two others.

Thanks

Hi Nick,

Not had the "return to index" issue, but have had, when I want to look at a previous page ie page 2,3,4 etc, all I get is the page but no posting or links. It don't clear by refreshing or logging in/out. Would be interested to know if it is the forum or my PC? (as I'm just looking for an excuse to lob it out the window :biggrin: :eek: )

Regards

Rob

Hi Nick having a lot of trouble with the pages loading extremely slowly 10 to 15 seconds sometimes I'm left just look at the blank screen.

Hi guys,

Jim is looking at the problems - thought a few had been solved, but it seems maybe not!

If you have problems, don't try logging in/out as it has nothing to do with that. At the moment, use the back button, or the web history to move back to the index. It's actually quicker and uses less server bandwidth (the page is pulled from your browsers cache rather than the server).

Not sure about the slow loading though Phil.

I'm having the same trouble regarding looking at pages 2,3,4 etc. You can lobs yours out of the window if you want Rob, good excuse to get a new one! :biggrin:

Ahh this may well explain why my back button 'action' last night was returning me to a day old viewed page - it was driving me nuts having to re-enter the NPN website last night to view the new topics.
