Forum Gremlins or me?

sandypebbles — Sun, 29 Aug 2021 03:52:08 GMT

All of a sudden, I can only see/load the two most recent topics on the forum

I've cleared all the stuff 😉 and tried different browsers

The 'load more' is whited out and not clickable and if I click the search by option up top, I just get half a page of gibberish come up

Wondering if it is just 'me' or a small forum meltdown

At one point I could only see one topic which was a few years old

😳

No problems here Sandy on WIN 10 and Firefox.

Perhaps pour your first cup of coffee in the morning into your keyboard - it makes them auto-respond.

Edit. Soaking your mouse in a pint of beer has a similar result................

Just me then 😄

Just got one topic showing now, I have to go into my 'history' to bring this up

Same here.

I can access the boards under sub-category, ie 'Buying', 'Selling', 'Ask a Member', etc, but not from the Discussion Board header.

Thanks

I must admit, I was a *tiny* bit concerned maybe our scammer spammer from earlier might have done something more on the forum than just spam their scam

I did a virus scan (which I was due to do tomorrow as my weekly check anyway) and nothing came up

I do see quite a few topics, but Load More does not work. I tried "open in new tab" (right-clicking on Load More) and I get "about:blank#blocked".

about:blank#blocked sounds like a dirty movie

Just under "most recent" I also see all this (ah, it had already been mentioned!)

<--- frequently happens with eBay's IT, but I'm glad that the problem is fixed, apparently.

(I didn't experience this issue.)
