Whats wrong with the forum?  

RE:

I haven't noticed any of those issues specifically, but I have noticed that I'm not getting notifications for subscribed threads.

EDIT: I'm not ALWAYS getting notifications....

RE:

...and the little confirmation messages (top right) after I post are currently in French for me, but I'm fairly sure I've seen them on other languages too.  Is there a language setting that I should check?

EDIT: Found the language setting - it's set to English, so are the French messages a feature or a bug?

RE: Whats wrong with the forum?

I have had the reply problem too.  Just had to cntrl+F5 the page a few times to get it to make the reply box below go from grey to white before it would allow me to type stuff.  Been happening at least for a week.  

RE: Whats wrong with the forum?

My bell icon at he top is showing 4 notifications at the moment.
I click on it, and nothing happens.
Yet I know if I refresh the page a couple of times it will work again as normal!
It's just all kinds of small niggles like this that I dont get with other forums....

RE: Whats wrong with the forum?

so are the French messages a feature or a bug

A feature — to encourage you to learn new languages.

Seriously, no idea why this happens but it does happen a lot.

RE: Whats wrong with the forum?

I'm having the same issues usually.  Thought like some of the other comments said, I was just able to Shift+F5 and then I was able to respond to your post.  It has been very frustrating over the past few weeks trying to keep up with order updates and engage with the community.

For me, the forum is completely unpredictable - and its been getting worse over the past few weeks.
Like now - I have notifications, but when I press the bell icon to view them nothing happens. If I refresh teh page a couple of times it may just start working again.

At times I cannot respond to threads - the page just doesn't seem to respond to button clicks, or the box to type your reply is greyed out.

Just now, I had to refresh the page 3 times in order to click on the 'New Topic' button to create this thread! Otherwise it just wouldn't respond to any clicks at all.

I have tried different systems, different networks, etc - so not an issue my end. The forum just seems very 'flakey' at the moment - not sure if an update is due?!

RE: Whats wrong with the forum?

Still happens. Sometimes I have to refresh 6 or 7 times before the box to write a response becomes active.
Also I find it difficult to quote a message - I hit the quote button and nothing happens.
Similarly, I am completely unable to edit any of my posts, in case I spot a typo for instance - I'm within the time limit as the Edit button is active, but I hit it and nothing happens. Even if I refresh the page.
