When I'm browsing on the iPhone on Safari, for some reason when I expand the page numbers in a thread using the "..." button (i.e. where it says: "pages: 1 ... 27 28 [29]") I can't click on any of the pages that appear other than those that were originally displayed (so in that particular example, pages 1, 27, 28, 29 would be clickable, whereas the other page numbers would do nothing). Does anyone else have this problem since the upgrade or is it just me? It's a bit frustrating if you want to navigate to a page mid-way through the thread.

 

I get this too.

I'm on mine now and it's working fine :dontknow:

 

There's a lot of things not working properly on iPhone and other handheld devices across all of SMF, which isn't great really when you consider how many people browse this way now.

Aye, sorry folks. Took me by surprise too! There's unscheduled work going on in the background to fix a bottleneck that was found during the ET period of the Blackburn game, it's not being done by me or anyone else from here. I posted all of the stats/background server information from the crash on Wednesday over on the specialist SMF help section for "big forums" and we're now looking to get it sorted ASAP. It was a buffer we hadn't quite hit since the move.

 

Basically there's no fucking way we should be crashing at 745 users on this new server, even though the load is extremely high with second-by-second refreshes/posts during non-televised games (especially ones as exciting as the Blackburn one), so we're hoping to get it properly sorted. We needed that test against Blackburn to get the required data really, as we'd never hit that limit previously since the switch.

The work should have been finished since about 5pm, so there shouldn't be any more downtime from here on today until the normal weekly backup runs at around 4am (BST). We'll see how it goes during times of extreme load, but extensive testing has been done on the bottleneck that was discovered over the past few hours and it has apparently been modified to cope with far, far more users online. Multiple times more, hopefully.

 

Only thing now is to wait and see again. Got to thank people again for the patience and apologise for the further disruption, but we're getting there bit by bit.
