Looks like you're using Chrome. Can you try in Safari, just for troubleshooting. We are looking into it.

I know it's expected to be a little slow right now, but it's taking several minutes to load a page for me. Is it expected to be that slow?

Definitely not, also curious what browser you're using if only because forums are moving quite smoothly for me while testing it out in Edge -- it gets slow when I go to my DMs and such but just general browsing is smooth.

I already sent a message to Steve on Twitter, but my Mod powers have returned. Not sure if that's a widespread issue or not.

Safari. It’s really slow on both my MacBook and iPad. Got a timeout error a minute ago.

It's extremely slow for me on edge, like over a minute to load any page with or without adblock. I wasn't going to bring it up because I know that's being worked on, but I'm pretty shocked to hear it's running well for anyone.

Edit: About the same on Chrome too.

I can also see the backroom but can't access it. I haven't been a mod for a bit.

Do we not have the User CP or w/e it was called? Meaning like seeing the list of threads we subscribed to but haven't read the latest post.

Or will we not have that feature anymore?

Jcar0725 couldn’t sign in . Sent him a ‘reset password’ link that doesn’t work.

Not a problem necessarily, just a question. If I post in an old thread that is currently missing posts since April 8th, will they all appear in order later? Or should I queue up my posts and wait to post them until after so everything remains in order?

Just kidding: Every time I click on a dynasty subforum, it says I'm not authorized to view this page. I can view every other section fine.

Right now the post layout feels super tall with lots of dead space. See my screenshot of this very thread to see how much wasted space there is:

I put together a rough CSS tweak that tightens things up (smaller avatars, less padding, cleaner spacing). Could be a nice quality-of-life improvement. You will definitely have to tweak some of the values, but its a start:

/* Reduce overall spacing between posts */
.postbit {
  margin-bottom: 10px !important;
  padding: 8px 12px !important;
  border-radius: 4px;
}

/* Compact avatar and user info container */
.postbit-userinfo {
  max-height: 60px;
  overflow: hidden;
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  gap: 8px;
}

.postbit-avatar img {
  width: 40px !important;
  height: 40px !important;
  border-radius: 4px;
}

/* Tighten up username and title block */
.username_container, .postbit-usergroup, .usertitle {
  line-height: 1.2 !important;
  margin: 0 !important;
  font-size: 13px !important;
}

/* Reduce padding in header and body */
.posthead, .postbody, .postcontent {
  padding: 4px 8px !important;
}

/* Shrink post font slightly for more density */
.postcontent, .postmessage {
  font-size: 14px !important;
  line-height: 1.4 !important;
}

/* Shrink and dim the signature */
.signature {
  margin-top: 6px !important;
  font-size: 11px !important;
  color: #888;
}

/* Remove or hide post share buttons to reduce clutter */
.postbit-share-buttons,
.postbit .sharethis,
.postbit .post_controls .socialshare {
  display: none !important;
}

/* Reduce margin and padding on bottom action rows */
.post_controls, .postfoot {
  padding-top: 4px !important;
  margin-top: 4px !important;
}

/* Optional: left-align avatars instead of top-aligned block */
.postbit {
  display: flex;
  align-items: flex-start;
  gap: 12px;
}

.postbit-userinfo {
  flex-shrink: 0;
}

.postcontent {
  flex: 1;
}

To try it out, just drop the CSS into `css_additional.css` via the Style Manager in the AdminCP. Let me know if you have any questions on how to use it.

Aside from the speed, the biggest issue I'm having right now is that I can't get my avatar back (Cubs logo). I found where to set up an avatar, but there's an error as soon as I choose the image from my PC (it's a 150 x 105 jpg, so that shouldn't be an issue)

Error is

• An unexpected error was returned: 'fwrite(): Argument #1 ($stream) must be of type resource, bool given'

Same issue I'm having.
