I already miss Paiktis.

When will he be back?

[Ming]

Please stop flaging Bereta Eder's posts... Yes, he went over the line and he is out of commission for a few months.
Thanks.

Seems like the new forum has little problems with signatures:

According to the rules stated, I have up to 4 lines free for my signature

I want to have just 2-3 lines as my signature:

This black page in history is not colourfast, will stain the next
all that remains is just a feint, of what it used to be
(Epica - Feint)

Well, the maximum I get is the first line, despite there being no automatic line break and seemingly a lot of space before any automatic line break would occur.
Even if I just post the 2 lines of the song (and leave the notice regarding Epica and Feint out), it won't let me use it as signature and points me at the 4 lines maximum

I had the problem for a few days as well ... but a few dys ago the problem cleared itself without me consciously doing anything about it

[BeBMan]

It seems to be gone now after clearling browser cache/history indeed

[Aeson]

Does this happen if you clear your cache or use a different device?

[BeBMan]

Something's strange with da forum, at least for me: I do get old forum overviews for a long time despite there are new posts when you visit a specific forum like OT, and sometimes I get wrong avatars or posters displayed as those who posted last...

We need to bring back the old "while you are waiting" inspirational quotes!

[giblets]

It gives posters a moment to stop and think about what they're doing with their lives. Maybe that explains the absence of Ben.

Well, for me, I actually love the long load times. I can sit and ponder the wonderful "Welcome to V-Bulletin" box on the front page, that frankly, makes Apolyton what it is.

Without that box, our site would collapse in a matter of days.

[Lorizael]

That's about my experience as well.

[rah]

It's consistently sluggish. 4-5 seconds to refresh a page when other sites are 1 second.
There are days where it's a tad faster but still slower than almost every other site I visit.

[Aeson]

How long is the slowdown and is it consistent?

[kentonio]

Aeson, any idea what's causing the slowdown? It's really offputting.
