Known Bugs and Issues

[Div]

The following is the current list of known bugs and issues with the site that I have collated from the comments I have seen post the upgrade.

These are divided into sections, Desktop, Tablet, Mobile and App. Feel free to contribute to the topic with issues I have missed but always refer to this opening post for the details of known issues and/or fixes.

Please consult this list before reporting an issue and report any new problems into us my emailing support@pieandbovril.com

I'm having lots of issues with chrome crashing out and having to "kill" the page, still going slow then crashing on reload.

Not just me then. Not had any crashes yet but running very slow on Chrome for me too.

[McRuffian]

Me 3.

 

Changed to firefox and it has helped a little bit.

 

Very temperamental though.

Keep getting a pop up of mtz adsrocket on my mobile when I change to the full site! Have to close the page down to get back on to P&B.

[Delboy C.J.F.C]

Still cannot start a new thread on the Android app closes, latest version from store, can someone try and find out what's up with it

[callum-ayr]

Any chance the Ayr thread on the League 1 forum can be moved to the Championship?

 

Cheers.

[ayrmad]

Hardly worth the bother.

Since updating to Windaes 10, I can no longer post smilies or copy links into P & B threads - the f**k is that about?

Nothing to do with Windows 10 anyway my friend. What browser are you using after upgrading?

Internet Explorer, caped crusader.

Sometimes when I go onto a thread it seems to randomly insert a version of that page into the box where you'd usually post something.

 

All I do is refresh the page and it goes away, but still.

Same.

[BFTD]

Yep. Started happening with me about a year ago, I think.

 

Probably just the site begging us to stop posting TBH.

 

Edit: I think it's been happening more often in the past few months too.

[welshbairn]

Happens every so often, not a major irritation. Just found a useful thing for platinum members though, if you have adblock on turn it off for P+B, it will stop those annoying "kill" or "wait" pop ups on Chrome.

 

P.S. Just as I posted that I got another one. Only started using adblock for other sites recently because ones like the Independent were unreadable. Are these pop ups the price for blocking ads?

[LiviLion]

Only ever happens for me if I click the back button in the browser. Don't think I've noticed it any other time.

[weirdcal]

Getting a tapatalk error on android app...any suggestions?

Same. Message appears when you fire up the app, says something about certain features not working, disappears, then the app seems to work ok.

[Deefiant]

Every day from 4ish to 5ish my app stops working- just the past week or so.

[The Naitch]

The site's been struggling all day today at various points.

[gc_smfc]

Minor annoyance but on the Android app, any quotes are showing my avatar instead of the authors avatar.

Are you on Android? Every so often this past week I've randomly not been able to open the app and when I've tried it's closed itself most instantly. Never had any bother before.
