I know this will probably fall on deaf ears, since this website has a growing list of simple features broken, with no fixes on the horizon, and editors who pretend there’s a team of people working on fixes when evidently there is not.
But, in case you hire a developer one day…There is a problem with thread display, where you click the last page of a thread to view the latest post… but are taken to an empty page with no posts. Annoyingly there’s no ‘previous page’ button either, so you have to go back to the forum page and click the second-last page number, at which point 15 seconds and 3 clicks later you can finally view the latest post.
This appears to be tied to a bug in your post-count feature. In this thread for example, you can see the post count (on the forum page) reads 11 posts by 7 posters.
However on the actual page there are only 9 posts by 6 posters.
It seems like these ‘phantom posts’ (which exist on many threads across the forum) might be causing wordpress to over-estimate the number of pages, resulting in the last page often being empty.July 24, 2017 at 1:54 pm #1507839ye very annoying JC me aul chum.
also on tablets and iphones, there is a serious lag when typing. really annoying aswell
July 24, 2017 at 6:26 pm #1507928Yeah, im going to get sick of this site in no time if it keeps deteriorating.
July 24, 2017 at 7:27 pm #1507937I agree. Increasing glitches. Posting becoming more and more difficult
July 25, 2017 at 12:34 pm #1508158this site is rubbihs. so many problems and none been looked at
you can suck my toe teamtalk. The one that the nail has not been clipped for years
good bye my old friend. ill see you in the gutter chum
July 25, 2017 at 5:14 pm #1508278Yep I’m the same, had enough of making TT aware of the problems and even now as I type I have a huge ad in the middle 9f the screen.
Adios TT…poor IT has killed the site
July 26, 2017 at 2:20 pm #1508585Trying to read a news link with a floating video ad in the middle of my screen about 5 things to say on your first date, followed by 5 vegetables to eat to make you live longer is really really really annoying. I have been married 20 years why are either of these two videos relevant to me neither are of interest or to someone who has come on the site to read footie news????
These enhanced ads are also slowing down the site on mobile browsing, to the point the lag in typing is so ridiculous its impossible. Simple scrolling through a news link is lagging.
CRAP sort it out the site is being overrun by AD’s which i dont give a shit about!!!
July 26, 2017 at 2:21 pm #1508588CAN ANY POSTERS RECOMMEND ANOTHER FORUM
July 26, 2017 at 2:22 pm #1508591Spot on Big_Balls. It’s actually shocking.
July 26, 2017 at 3:52 pm #1508621Nobody gives a flying f*** about this forum or site in the TT forum….that has become apparent over the past 12 months, and is getting worse. On my work laptop I can’t even get on to the site, suggesting to me that the company firewall sees something dodgy on the website. I am a complete technophobe, so have no idea how to resolve the issues, but it feels we’re in the last crap pub in a ghost town. Posters have left in droves and no f***** seems to care.
I have already started posting on another Liverpool site, but that obviously is no good for most on here. I enjoy everybodys posts and opinions (well, most of them…looking at you Martial Art!), and I used to enjoy this site, both the General and the club forums, but I have to say, patience is wearing very thin. But do they give a shit? As long as they get their Ad money, eh? It is a shame that Mark Holmes’ site at Planet Football doesn’t have a forum.
July 26, 2017 at 4:18 pm #1508630Now the freaking ads have started to overlay the forum. I’ll give TT a week to sort this out, after that I’m gone.
July 26, 2017 at 7:11 pm #1508661Ok guys the AD’s are simple fix. I get no AD disruption.
All you need to do install a free AD blocking extension/plugin to your browser:
google chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/adblock/gighmmpiobklfepjocnamgkkbiglidom?hl=en-US
Firefox:
https://addons.mozilla.org/En-us/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/July 26, 2017 at 10:10 pm #1508701Bort: I don’t get them either but why the hell can’t you even land on the last page anymore when you click into a forum. The site has become slow and when you press for a post to be uploaded, you’ve no idea if it will make it. You shouldn’t have to be adding more software and the potential shite that comes with it just to block ads but appreciate the effort!
July 26, 2017 at 11:19 pm #1508714The “admin” left a security flaw in wordpress unpatched for about 6 months.
It’s possible during this time the site became infected with adware, I’ve had my javascript disabled ever since so I’m not getting any full page ads or anything.They did patch it eventually, but it’s possible the infection could remain. Full page ads sounds more like adware than a deliberate thing.
July 27, 2017 at 12:55 pm #1508924What a piece of shit website this has become. This is the problem when a football site and forum is run by copy and paste journalists who can’t string two sentences together without having to steal content from elsewhere – usually just gossip columns from shitty papers and anything they see on twitter. Apparently, the forum isn’t important because they concentrate on the site content. Judging by what they produce they don’t care about the site content either.
July 27, 2017 at 2:29 pm #1509002When you’ve all had enough of this site completely, feel free to come and join my forum which is built on the same program. With mine, the forum, instead of being a news website with an added forum, I’ve switched it round so the forum is the centre of the site and content leads into the forum rather than vice versa. I had to put it temporarily into “coming soon” mode as I just didn’t have the time to market the site enough to get the numbers up.
If anybody with interest/knowledge of WordPress sites would like to get involved to share the workload and be a part of making it a decent forum, feel free to contact me at editor@footydebate.com The site is http://www.footydebate.com
July 27, 2017 at 3:49 pm #1509051Can’t even use the forum on my phone because a stupid google advert scroll with me on every page*
July 29, 2017 at 12:26 pm #1509558For those that have been experiencing problems with the ads on android I got myself a ad blocker and the problem is solved.
July 29, 2017 at 5:39 pm #1509660Nice one Bingo
But to be honest, this site has become almost unbearable to use. Is Mark still running it?
July 31, 2017 at 10:03 am #1510041Hi guys.
We’re really sorry you’re experiencing these issues. We’re well aware of them and have reported them to our technical staff, who are working on finding a solution.
We appreciate the annoyance of these, but please do bear with us, while we try to get to the bottom of this.
Many thanks,
