Major annoyance. The smilies box jumps up and down when you are writing a long post. -
A minor annoyance:
When starting a new thread the focus jumps to the main text box rather than the title field when the page loads.Leave a comment:

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.Originally posted by d000hg View Post
I need to dig pretty deeply into how and why this is happening, but I'll track it down eventually

It were the cache wot diddit. Innerestingly, I was on a different device (have moved out of my office to the living room so am on laptop not desktop). Maybe FF syncs the cache as well as other stuff. Anyhow, all that effort for a vey pointless thread

Just tried Firefox on my MacBook Air and it worked. Safari was also up the creek on here until I did the local cache clearing thing.
If you clear cookies you'll be logged out. Not sure if that has anything to do with it; I wasn't logged in on Chrome, but I was logged in on Safari here. There's definitely something getting cached that shouldn't be, but I don't know what. Try the instructions at How to clear the Firefox cache to keep the cookies but clear the cache, and let me know if it helps

Not loading in Firefox. I suppose I could clear out the cookies and try again...Originally posted by NickFitz View Post
No idea what happened here. As I said, everything in the database was fine, so it made no sense that the thread was giving that error. I cleared the server-side caches and it still didn't show. Then I switched from Safari to Chrome and the thread loaded. Tried going back to Safari, and it still wouldn't load there; it was getting a redirect to a broken form of the URL (one using the internal node ID of the thread/post rather than the CUK-friendly one). I used the "Develop" menu on Safari to clear all its client-side caches, and then it loaded correctly
It's not the first time I've seen weird behaviour like this from Safari; it's as if it caches redirects and goes straight there occasionally rather than checking if that response is still valid. I may need to double-check what HTTP headers are being sent back in those cases.
Anyway, the thread should now be accessible, I hopeLeave a comment:

It used to be that you could go to https://www.contractoruk.com/forums/settings/profile and see a list of subscribed threads with unread replies (in bold) sorted in order of most recent active thread.
Is this functionality retained anywhere?Leave a comment:
