@dark knight Putting this here in case anybody else is having the this issue...when I have my VPN enabled, on some threads with new posts, BigSoccer asks me to check my proxy. This has only been occurring for the past couple of days. I was having issues with my broker's app as well, so thought it was a VPN issue. But I'm okay with my broker now, so it appears to be a BS issue. Strangely, it seems that this occurs on pages that have new posts AND include an imbedded twitter post (tweet). When I disconnect from my VPN, I can view BS fine. I have no issues elsewhere (other than the normal locations where VPN disconnection is standard). edit to add that this is occurring on my phone as well, which also has a VPN connection.
Strange - I wonder if others having issues? Embedded Twitter posts take forever for me to load - I wonder if VPN times out perhaps?
I am trying to figure out if it is my VPN as well. I've seen anecdotal commentary that it is bulletin boards, specifically, though the issue is ONLY with new posts and embedded twitter posts on the same page.
Along these lines... I can't get the Twitter page to load in the Politics and Current Events forum to load at all, on either Firefox or Microsoft Edge. I get the Website timed out message from "Cloudflair" with a message that reads the website timed out while waiting for it to load.
Still? It has been sluggish for months. Most of the threads with multiple imbedded twitter posts take a while to load. Rarely they time out, but sometime load only the text.
@dark knight @crazypete13 I know I originally said something in the Ukraine P&CE thread that the site wasn't functioning well, but this seemed like a better place to respond that BS seems to be working much better. I don't know if y'all actually did something, but thanks for listening.
Yeah - the Twitter post thing is not on our end I don’t think. I try to discourage people from only posting them.
As I noted in the other support thread, I've narrowed down my bug to attempts to embed Twitter links in my posts. Seems like you might not have to discourage people from only posting Twitter links, because you simply aren't able to post them (or at least I'm not).
