Just stumbled on a small issue which happened when I changed my email address in my 'Profile'.  The system didn't send me a conformation email to re-activate my account (thanks to Jeff I can now access the forum).  But then I've also notice recently when someone sends me a PM, I'm not getting a notification email either.  I just checked my Profile settings and I see that it should be doing that as it is set right.

Not the same situation, but similar...I no longer get email notifications when people send me Personal Messages. I wonder if there's some setting that needs tweaked deep within BTS.

The PM notification to my eMail address appears to be working in my case as evidenced by a notification the other day for a PM that was sent by Bill P to me.

I double-checked my settings and all seems in order there as far as I can tell.

No biggie. I'm usually here every day anyway. Just thought it was odd.

Suggestion for Ideas and Inspiration: Maybe add a subforum of "Build Planning" for guys still in planning phases, then add links to related BP threads in the first post of each I&I thread? (For example, linking to my F-15SE/Special and Mike's F-15SMT+ threads in post 1 of the F-15 thread, kinda see who's doing what that may benefit from shared experience.)

Anyone else having to wait a looong time for connections when posting or navigating? It's been happening to me for the last few days ... but only on BtS  :icon_crap:

And has suddenly sped up since posting the above ... obviously the Forum Pixies just needed a nudge  ;D

Last saturday I couldn't load BtS between 8.30pm & 9pm local eastOz time - tried several times but gave up.  Recently the site has been hanging-up when I try to make a post (doesn't appear to be a "timed-out" problem) - have to kill my browser & try again.

I once got email notification of a PM but the PM never showed up here on the site.

Sounds like we need to buy more bandwidth ???  The downside of being a popular, very active site ;D

Okay, here is the problem.  Since last week I,ve been unable to view a lot of pictures linked from external sources.  Which means that BtS banner and icons, as well as the majority of pics in the profile section, which I most-frequently visit, would show up in my android browsers as broken links......  If I have access to its web address, I can still view them directly, but I cannot view them via BtS.

I tested both at home and at my local library with the same result.  Would you and/or your crew look into this?

Thanks in advance.

I been having the same issues with pictures,myself. This started about two weeks ago. I had the same problem on other sites,too. When I contacted my carrier (Sprint here in Oklahoma,U.S.A.) I was told it was due to a problem they were working on. It isn't to be finished till after the first.

I haven't experienced any problems.  That said, please let us know if others expereince similar and if it persists.  It sounds like it might be a problem on your end however if there is anything we can do to alleviate the situation, we certainly will try.

I'm pretty sure "My problem" is definitively on my end. I'm not.holding my breath for them to do it by when they said. On the other hand, I like the new "All" option. Glad you have done it as I don't always remember what went before.

I'm not ruling out the possibility that my issue could be caused by something on my end.  Right now I'm still figuring things out, the only things I know for sure right now being that the problem holds for both mobile and non-mobile network connections, so I doubt it has anything to do with network filtering (Wi-Fi in my local library, for example, blocks any videogame-related websites)......

With my last two posts I got an error saying my request had timed out.

Hitting Refresh seems to have allowed my posts to take, but it's odd considering that it only took me a minute or less to compose each post.

Ok then, that confirms it is not just me.  I had the same happen yesterday but wasn't sure if it was simply on my end.  Will look into.

Folks if anyone else is getting a similar issue, just follow Brian's advice for now (Hit the page refresh option on your browser) - that seems to rectify things.  We will be looking into this in the meantime.

I've been getting the same thing too, but also the site is extremely slow to get on and navigate around at the moment

EDIT: just happened as I was posting this post.  I hit the 'back' button and then re-clicked on post and it did

I've been noticing that the site has been rather slow to load pages yesterday and today.  Is it just me?

Oh, and I'm still experiencing the main page (home) indicating there are new posts (in the physical models and profiles and pixels) when there are none.

Still working on the slowness issue - server related I am afraid.

Re the indication of new posts, it is not just you.  I believe it may sometimes result when someone has edited an existing post.  It won't necessarily show up as a new post when you look but somehow the software indicates it.
