List of Things to Fix or Look At

Just make it fail silently -- nobody will miss a few failed polls here and there. And reduce the frequency to relieve some pressure.

I think we (hopefully) sussed the "Oops" error as well. Haven't seen it since we made the fix; so... knock on wood. Put on your lucky rabbits feet necklace.

I have been searching for a solution all around the site since the upgrade, but something has changed with the icons when posting in threads. Once I upload pics to my album, I can't figure out how to put them in a post. I used to have that option from an icon that I think looked like a camera.
Thanks for all your hard work, getting afn running again.

Extremely frustrating to say the least, cant even read notifications, not normally 1 to moan but damn the traffic on this site has gone right down hill the last year or so and just seems like all the site is interested in now is having the biggest grow battle the world has ever seen!

Quick fix. Use Brave, get past the cloudflare bs first time, turn on script blocker. All that background bs is suppressed.

Hey guys, we're well aware of the site slowdown and errors and we're actively working on them. There were a few things we didn't plan on when we did the site upgrade (and I apologize for the lack of foresight there.) We've got messages into the developers, are looking into some promising optimizations, and have some heads much smarter than our own looking at some things for us. I know it's frustrating (it's super frustrating for us too, we just want our working forum,) but bear with us while we work under the hood because we love this place just as much as you and we're doing all we can to try to get things fixed up. We're not a big company nor do we have the funding or backers like a lot of companies do, but we're working our butts off to try to get the site smoothed out; so we'd simply ask to please keep in mind while we're chipping away at it and that it's not for lack of trying or effort I know that doesn't fix it right now and I also know no one likes to "hear excuses," but we're doing what we can.

Hey, I just looked into this and you are in fact correct, the tool bar was missing the media gallery embed option. I've just enabled it for all tool bars, it should now show up as a camera icon on the toolbar; clicking it should open up the media gallery to embed! Thank you for pointing this out, let me know if it's still giving you any fits!

Thank you so very much my friend, I was starting to think I was old, senile, and just didn’t get it.
Much thanks also for your very hard work to make the site run.
Cheers

Ok, I didn't dif through the whole thread but this issue is getting VERY annoying! I get this message EVERY time I let a page sit open in a tab for more that a few minutes without accessing it. THEN when I refresh, I get the Cloudflare " Checking your Browser" EVERY time I reload one of these pages!

Here's the error message:

Me too. A lot. I sometimes can push the X button and resume looking at the website. Other times, I have to close the tab and open another to continue looking at the website. It's a hassle.
