New Forum Bug Reports

I can't access the site at all on Android using Chrome, I get connection refused. I don't see a similar problem with any other website.

This thread still isn't accessible to me even after clearing cache. It's quite bizarre:
If I click the link (even when not logged in) it takes me to, which gives the error:
https://www.contractoruk.com/forums/...how-was-school

If I open it in an incognito window, I get the following link, which DOES work
https://www.contractoruk.com/forums/...as-school.html

Exactly the same for me (can't view it when logged in, can if I'm not logged in). d000hg is not on my ignore list either - so it's not that obvious issue.

I suspect this might be somehow related to the business where sometimes one posts a reply to a thread but it isn't visible until one reloads the page, just manifesting slightly differently when one's starting a thread. Somehow the response to the post is being sent when the system isn't yet in a consistent state. In the case of thread creation it's causing a redirect to a malformed URL, and that redirect is cached by the browser - well, that's the theory. Except there are one or two things that seem like they may be inconsistent with that.

I need to dig pretty deeply into how and why this is happening, but I'll track it down eventually

What browser are you on? I haven't noticed it in Safari, but maybe I just don't write long enough posts. Anyway, I'll try to think of something to say and check it out

Chrome but I'll see if I can try edge later

I've got it both on chrome and Edge, not tested it on firefox so could be chromium.

Major annoyance. The smilies box jumps up and down when you are writing a long post.

You mean the "Post thanks / likes" tab on the user profile page?

I have the same problem.

POST THANKS/LIKES shows nothing. I do have at least one!

I think it's actually the text box jumping up and down as you write a long post - but the smilies box is more obvious for those that don't understand what's actually happening.

you can see it in operation once you've gone past the initial text box and it jumps up and down as you write each letter - almost as if 2 pieces of code are competing against each other to set the height of the text box.
