*~NEW BROOKLYNIAN~*

The edit feature seems to go away quickly after one makes a post.I often need to edit my posts, so they make me sound intelligent or at least are coherent.

Hi. There is definitely something wrong with the back-end of the site re: user preferences & such...I posted to this topic about this issue a couple of days ago about the fact that after your re-launch of the site, I had subscribed to approx 50 topics + forums (I'm guessing I did this Jan 4 or 5 or so..), and by Jan 8 (I think) , I realized I wasnt receiving any updates re: these topics via email. So I logged in, checked my subscriptions & favorites, and all of them had disappeared. Again, I reported this via this thread, I believe, on Jan 8. (Whynot even responded...) So, at that point (Jan 8-ish) I re-subscribed to 4-6 forums/topics, just to be able to confirm that they'd be retained and that I'd receive updates via email whenever someone posted about them. Now, after the updates I guess were done to the site yesterday, I have just logged in and can report two issues: 1) Once again, the set of 4-6 latest subscriptions & favorites re-added on Jan 8 have disappeared...Ugh!!!, and 2) If you look at this "New Brooklynian" thread where I posted about this problem on approx Jan 8, (and again, WhyNot replied..), those posts have completely disappeared as well. So, can someone please look into and rectify these issues?? The eternally-disappearing subscriptions/favorites issue is especially annoying...Thanks much.

Seems like some of the old crowd from the previous forum haven't joined us in this new forum. Hopefully, they'll be here soon!

@mugofmead111 thanks! I'll look into it. Do you remember which post it was?

@whynot_31 I have not noticed that but will keep an eye out for it. It may be a cache issue.

Hi newguy88. I'm sorry about the trouble you are experiencing. I am doing everything I can to get the site in working order. There is probably some conflict with the caching. I disabled the caching for now. If you receive another "page moved" error, it would be helpful to me if you could describe the exact link you tried to click on, and if you're able to, paste the link into the comments field in this thread. Thanks.

Is the incredible slowness going to be fixed in the future? Is it fixable? Or is this the new normal?

I was told the pages will load more quickly once the web servers get more hits for the new site IP address; this causes them to not have to work as hard for it.Also, we seem to have some bugs remaining that cause slowness in posting.

Looking forward to that day!

I was having the same trouble it seems as newguy. Today is the first day I am able to get to the site without any error messages or posts missing. Great job all.

@stacey no, I am just seeing flat ads for cars and office supplies. Let me know what ad is flashing and I will tell the ad service to cut it out of the rotation.

Let's now begin to put it to test, by increasing traffic.Share your favorite thread on your Facebook feed. Tell your neighbors about the site.... Mention the Brooklynian when you post on other sites.
