Yes. I just open the last page now.

Gary · Dec 28, 2007, 09:47:37

Would appear its a know issue when a thread has more than six pages Rik tells me xild

Crikey, that would mean sitting for hours waiting for some of the games threads to open! Haven't noticed any lag myself this morning.

Rik · Dec 28, 2007, 12:03:09

I don't see a huge delay, Simon, only a pause before a blank page or a server 500 error is displayed.

Simon · Dec 28, 2007, 12:14:19

No problem at all here.

Rik · Dec 28, 2007, 12:14:43

Have you clicked on an 'All' link?

Nope, but have now. Blank page.

I never use the 'All' link anyway.

Ann · Dec 28, 2007, 12:27:15

The 'all' link worked fine for me. I've never used it before but will do so now as it's useful.

Edit: okay I take that back.. 12 pages fine, 17 pages blank.. oops.

Rik · Dec 28, 2007, 12:28:51

If the thread is more than about 6 pages, Ann, you may either get a blank page or a server error. We know the problem exists, we just haven't worked out how to cure it yet.

Ann · Dec 28, 2007, 12:29:39

I shall experiment to find out exactly where it falls over. 12 pages is good.

Rik · Dec 28, 2007, 12:32:01

Not here, it's not, Ann. Remind me what browser you use, will you?

If you lot keep adding waffle to this already long thread, it will never open..

opens just fine here, no delays what so ever

Simon · Dec 28, 2007, 13:14:01

It's the 'All' link that seems to be problematic, Glenn.

This thread has been split off from the original Glen.

That is why this opens OK.

IE7 here.

Rik · Dec 28, 2007, 14:56:50

Thanks. We think we may have the answer now - testing in progress.

Rik · Jan 02, 2008, 15:05:37

We think the problem has now been solved, so if anyone continues to encounter problems, please let us know.

Ann · Jan 02, 2008, 20:55:24

It's solved here because I no longer get the little 'all' to hit when there's more than 4 pages. So where's it gone then?

Adam · Jan 02, 2008, 21:00:09

We worked out that around 4 pages is all the server would manage before giving errors or putting up a blank page, so the limit before the all link is removed was reduced to around 4 pages.

Ann · Jan 02, 2008, 21:02:00

So not really solved then.. I think that's hilarious.. ROFL.

Adam · Jan 02, 2008, 21:04:52

That depends on how you look at it; the feature was not designed to be set as high as it was, therefore the old (high) setting was "broken" so the new setting "solved" the problem of the "broken" setting.

You would make a great spin doctor Adam

Simon · Jan 02, 2008, 22:18:47

Let's face it, who would want to load a single page with 300 posts on it anyway!
