Why not have a button, or list on this website, the one I’m using them on?

The list would be too big to fit on your screen, mate. The smiley's are huge, the biggest smileys, the best, TRUMP SMILEYS!!!!
ps: absolutely not complaining. I kind of like the mad acid poster vibe when you paste a smiley. Please don't change 🙂
Yup - problems last night with 504 gateway time-out errors from nginx. Doesn't look like all the bits of the site were talking to each other...
Also unable to login from chrome this morning until I deleted all stw cookies...

Bloody rapid for me! Not sure what to do with the extra time i've been gifted..

Absolutely this. Gigantic smileys must stay!

I agree. Just strapped in for the ride now.
Noooo! Not the kitten.
Oh OK then.

It is actually now faster than it's been at any point in the last few months for me.
Never mind that Njee it’s about emojis.

Defiantly quicker this afternoon..
Assume someone’s Cloud has loads of spare capacity?
What's with this serif font being used now?
And it's gone! Thanks for the prompt action guys.
Could be a caching issue there. The page opens with a default font until the - whatever, CSS has processed or the font loaded or some such - and then displays correctly.
Forum now won’t let me log in on my iPad - just loops back to logged out, getting a bit irritated with this shambles now tbh
Can you clear your cache on your iPAd Kilo see if that works, I’ve just tested logging in on my Pro and it worked fine.
Cheers Drac, seems to be ok now
Excellent!
Sorry, but this thread is so big now, I really can't imagine reading through it to find an answer to my question, but:
Has a solution to the block quote issue been found? Because if not, I just discovered something exciting! 🙂
Is it just my imagination or is the post count at the on the forum page wrong?
The "Should Amber Rudd resign" thread shows 3 posts, but there's loads more than that.
I'd post a screen shot, but the thought of trying to upload a photo to this forum makes me feel far too depressed. I just can't do it to myself 🙁

The index page seems to get its knickers in a twist occasionally. I've seen it with posts out of order and with incorrect post counts. I think it's worse if you use the "back" button but I've not tested it.

Interesting post edit there to make it break.
The "Do you know who I am" thread is logging me out / crashing my iPad. Opera and Safari on the latest iOS. The logout included removing my username and password from my bookmark. I've cleared my cache and force restarted my iPad twice now. Still happening. I can't report the thread or post because it won't load.
Very odd Bigblackshed is that 11.3.1?
We seem to have a new bug. Im.typing white text on a white background....
"We seem to have a new bug. Im.typing white text on a white background….'
same here- - on both Mac/safari and IOS
And when I refresh the Forum Overview page it is not showing the latest posts
the site is ****ed white text in box no format what a cluster****
Aye ans if I tap the word Overview the page comes up unformatted before switchi g
0lease excuse any typos
Its just the overview pagebthats ****ed. Botj the Bike and Cst pages are correctly formatted and showing tbe posts in the right order
Cantbsee text to edit it either.
are pagebthats like emojis? will they be massive too?
page scrolling jams after a post is made. just something else to be getting on with...
Cantbsee text to edit it either.
double click to select the text, as if you were going to cut & paste
Im sure the "developers" are just wildly pressing buttons to see what they do
you think the developers have buttons? I admire your optimism...
ha ha i vantsee what im typing brillisnt
iys like i visible ink
Chrome is also suggesting that the site is in Polish
Yup, I had the ‘blankety-blank typing’ thing going on.
iPhone SE - totally up to date.
had to restart phone to get rid of it.
(bloody hell; to think TSB thought they had problems. They obviously don’t hang out here.
Given that the forum is a massive part of the package that subscribers pay for I would have thought this would have been dealt with professionally and proficiently by now. It’s just been too shoddy for too long.
I’m going to vote with my feet and cancel the auto-renew d/d.
Shame really. It was quite cool. )
The “Do you know who I am” thread is logging me out / crashing my iPad
Right clicking on the link in that thread to open it in a new tab (because STW is still the only website I use that requires the action, not that it is a big deal, and I am used to it, said sbob, pre-emptively) still causes the forum to navigate away to the link, as well as opening the link in a new tab.
As well as a comment on the function of the forum, anyone who isn't employed by STW or Gofar Enterprises should probably also take that as a personal slur against their character.
Just in case there was any doubt.

Also the drop down menus are sticking, covering half the page.
I've been patient, but the speed issue is getting really annoying btw, bugs ye can live with, spending time waiting on a website loading is something you will only persevere with for so long before ye say f this..
And the text is back to black.
I hear a song coming on.
I thought about a YouTube link....
Outage ?
Unable to log in?
Are you TSB in disguise?
After the last "maintenance" downtime a few minutes ago the forum is much, much quicker 🙂
Seems to work OK for me, apart from I can't log in (enter password, returns to logged out) - Chrome on Linux.
Typing this from Firefox and it works fine.
- edit, just seen separate thread about this. Will try cookies.
@bob_summers - delete all your STW cookies. There's a thread on it and a post from Cougar on the "Our Forum" thread. I had the same yesterday.
Well, it’s fast, that’s for sure.
Yip, defiantly it’s zipping along.. 💡
delete all your STW cookies
Didn't work for me. No worries though, I flit between Chrome and FF anyway, no great shakes to use FF.
Agreed though, it does seem a lot faster. Nice work.
Too late to edit that, but in Chrome 'clear all cookies' did work (for me) in the end, I just wasn't doing it right.
Speed seems good right now :thumbsup:
Cleared the stw cookie on safari so i could log in and the site seems to be loading pages faster than it ever has, good work.
Hmm, I've cleared cookies from Chrome on my Android phone but I still can't log in there..
Was having the same problem on my PC, but clearing the cookies on there worked fine, so I suspect it is a cookie thing, but I'm not sure how to fix it.
To clear the cookies on Android I went to the website, 'clicked' on the padlock in the address bar, then on 'SITE SETTINGS', then 'CLEAR & RESET', which claims to 'clear all local data, including cookies and reset all permissions for this website'. I said 'yeah!' and did it, but it still won't let me log in.
I don't really want to clear all cookies from all websites, that would be a pain, and I've no reason to think it would work if doing it this way doesn't.... Any ideas?
Thanks!
well, having cleared cookies and logged back in it is working great here, fast and no popups, no issues at all. Well done STW Team, it looks better than ever now 🙂
Yay spppeeeeeeedddd 😀
As above. Fired an email to STW tech. Quick response a few mins later and all good.
This clearing cookies thing has been an issue for months for me, even before the update.
Would never load until I deleted all history. At last a problem that isn’t down to the improvements
Wrote a post last night on my newfangled iphablet. To my annoyance the text was white so could not read it while typing. New one for me.
Given up quoting.
I have no problems logging in; it's being logged out on a daily basis that's the issue.
Possibly related to the forum address dropping the www.
Could someone on Android please check if you can paste Youtube links into the body of post? I've tried multiple browsers, I seem to be able to paste into the titles but not the body.
EDIT. Seems to work here dumbbot. Chrome on Android.
Positively zipping along this morning..

Had to do the clear cookies on my iPad - then when I tried to access the front page of the site it crashed Safari. I can get to the forums but not the main page.
Well I can't, I say this logged in on Chrome via an incognito tab as clearing cookies didn't work in chrome.
I don't know what is going on as this issue like many others is unique to STW, I can paste in address bars, search boxes ..other forums but I cannot paste into posts here on STW, I used to be able to..so this is a wonderful new feature.
<span style="font-size: 0.8rem;">It just gets better and better. </span>
Paste has been flaky for me (chrome on android) since the update. Sometimes it works after a bit of tapping or long pressing, sometimes I get the magic blue dot that can be tapped to get a menu. Its not working this morning at all.
Super speedy!
Pretty smooth transition to AWS or whatever… they'll always be some hiccups. Nicely done.
One good point I'll take from this (certainly the delete cookies advice) is having deleted all cookies it's forced me to revisit and log in on some very used websites.. this has lead to keychain offering up a couple of log in options, log ins which I had forgotten I'd created.. So I've just been ploughing through websites... logging in and seeing which "login/password" options it's thrown up and then made note of them, logged in with the one I normally use then go into keychain and delete the those that are redundant..
I feel all IT this morning, must be the baggy white coffee stained T-Shirt and wild hair I'm sporting 😉
Also, deleting some websites that I'm never going to visit again...
Purge, thats the word of today.
Another update on the FB Group >>>>
Care to copy it over to here?

Yup, get this a lot on my iPhone. Mentioned it several times. Seems to have been "filed" with all the other problems
A general question; how many times do you hit the Submit button? With no feedback and the time delays I tend to tap it 5-6 times just to make sure.
<span class=" UFICommentActorAndBody"><span data-ft="{"tn":"K"}"><span class="UFICommentBody _1n4g">I can't profess to know any of the technical details of what Marky Mark, Wise Andy and Young Tom are doing in regards to migrating to a new server - all that stuff goes way over my head
What I do know is that all three of those fellas are working literally around the clock to improve both the website and the forum for everyone - both users and editorial staff.
Unfortunately we don't have an enormous IT department to make all of these things magically happen for us. There are literally two blokes that manage everything in-house for what is one of the world's largest cycling websites. Despite our small staff team, that website is a total behemoth, and it takes a lot of heaving and prodding to get it to move the right way. Quite often it gets pushed one way though, and it moves in an entirely direction, causing significant unseen problems.
For example, we currently have an enormous issue in the back end that is causing big issues for the editorial team, and it is super frustrating, because it means I can't do the work that I'm employed to do. But as many frustrations as I'm having in the back end with working on stories at the moment, I know that those frustrations will only be temporary, and it is improving.
Please bear with us on the website and forum upgrade - I know that Mark and our two IT guys are stressed up to their eyeballs trying to iron out all the wrinkles. I won't speak for them, but I'm guessing that's why there's been less opportunity for communication lately.
However, I can assure you that nobody is trying to kill the forum or website - far from it. I hope you guys can appreciate the efforts that are going on behind the scenes, which despite the short term pain, will improve things in the longer term.

I would have done that, but I’m not part of STW and all comms should come from them direct IMO.
Ah the message from Will, problem with that there facebook for discussion is if you miss something it's off there and lost for a while with no real way of searching for it -oh hang on...
You're right, BB, but we know all about that, don't we? Insert emoji.
Will’s info has been said many times on here before though, it’s good for reminder but it’s no different then what has been mentioned before that STW IT is a very small team that look after more than getting emojis to work.
You can search Facebook Mike it’s extremely easy, there’s also a search BETA option for the forum for people to test.
