The board seems a little wonky today. The ‘Last post’ time seems to have stopped updating at around 07:13 BST, as evidenced by clicking on New Posts. And I’ve participated in a couple of polls which haven’t updated themselves to reflect my participation. I’ve tried clearing the cookies. ---

I’ve just tried posting a problem report thread and it isn’t appearing. The index seems to be borked. Updates seem to have stopped around 07:33 UK time. ---

I’ve tried making a few posts but none of them seem to have shown up. ---

I search for new posts, and it looks like the last one came in around 2:30am. I look at the main page, and the last new post came around 2:30am. I look at my clock, and it shows 9:38am EDT. So it’s obvious someone has passed through a tear in spacetime, but the question remains: Is it me, or is it the hamsters running this place? ---

Last night, it looked like the Board was out for a while (some period after midnight Pacific Time). Today I am noticing that time listings on the forum pages and on the search results pages are still reflecting results prior to the outage. If I open a thread, however, I will see this morning’s posts. Is this something I can remedy on my side (clearing cookies or something) or is there still an issue on the Board side? ---

Seems like the board is not updating. One can see updated entries by opening individual threads though, so at least there’s that. ---

Hmm. Some posts seem to show up (I’m testing if this one does). Quote function doesn’t work. I just tried. I also tried to start a problem thread. Didn’t show up. The hamsters are really and truly upset this time. ---

I’ve reported the concerns to the mods, whom I’m sure are already aware anyway. ---

It’s a board issue that is being worked on at the moment. Please be patient. Thanks. ---

> [@Shoeless](#): > > In Tapatalk when I open a thread I get a message at the bottom “You do not have permission to reply.” At first I thought maybe I had been suspended or banned! I logged on to the laptop and everything seems to be OK. Could that be part of the weirdness going on? Usually I chalk stuff like this up to an overnight update to Tapatalk. It looks like I can post from Tapatalk now. ---

It looks like things are functional again, but please let us know if you encounter any further oddities (not counting your fellow posters). ---
