If it's slow, shift to dial up!

Still trying to figure out why images are not caching to users computers.

Perhaps the names have been changed to protect the innocent.

Caching is based on URIs, and if the URI changes (e.g., due to a file name change on the server), the visitor's browser doesn't see it as cached. I suppose it could also be a shift from HTTP to HTTPS or something screwy like that (which would also change the URI), but I can't imagine using HTTP in this day and age.

The Xenforo Security add in that caused the issue yesterday has been updated as there was a bug which caused the issue we and others running it had.

The author has recommended uninstalling the old one and installing this version fresh. So I will be doing that.

It should not slow us down, we were running that add on for a long time but yesterday update had the bug when it was trying to do its daily maintenance.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Ok it is installed and running. Over the next few hours we should see the bot count drop.

How about the troll count, can we do anything about that?

Slowness observed around 11:30. Now at 11:50 a 'like" won't post. Says no permission to do so

Was in bed by then. But all looks good this morning. I wonder if Bunny was having a problem with its CDN at that time.

I've seen that from time to time, but not today.

I had one earlier today but it came back quickly.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

it was t me but I do know there was a security patch pushed out this afternoon so I am guess that was what it was.

Here's a new one- right now when I click on "forums" I get a 404 (I never get those anymore) but superimposed over what's apparently a webpage for a radio station- "I-1430" and FM 92.7. Not a one-off, have done it a half dozen times. Otherwise can still access threads by paging back or search. This is the address bar grab:

I did a reboot and it's still doing it. Maybe cookies?

Can you show us a screenshot of what you're seeing? Sounds like the old Internet Explorer Browser Helper Object shenanigans…

 

[long_time_Dish]

Everything normal here...may be cache needing to be cleaned-out.

 

[telstar_1]

This is it

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Clear your cache. Thats a cache error that is happening only in Microsoft Edge.

 

[telstar_1]

Thanks, that fixed it

 

[waylew]

When feeling weird ,here, toss your cookies ,makes things all better.
