Longer threads; access problem

[sealo0]

Sorry I can’t open F1 ~ to many redirects any ideas?

using IPad on Chrome

[Saab Dastard]

Just noticed it myself - if you open the thread from the start you can get to the last page, but trying to go to last page, last post or first unread post using shortcuts don't work. Bizarre.

[tdracer]

I have that problem yesterday. Closing my browser and re-opening apparently solved it.

YMMV...

[jimjim1]

I guess it's probably full, this link goes to todays last page.

https://www.pprune.org/jet-blast/471034-formula-1-a-559.html

(559) is the last page at present, although it thinks there are 604 in usual pprunish fashion.

If I try to "go to page" too far beyond 559 I get the "Too many redirects" error.

[jolihokistix]

Used to get this a lot, but the ‘refresh page’ button would override it. The old problem has just returned (a Red Bull hack?), but my old work-around doesn’t work any more. :{

[Winemaker]

Sorry to bother you, but when I try and log onto the current F1 thread I get this message:

The page isn’t redirecting properly
An error occurred during a connection to www.pprune.org.
This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.

Previous page posting appear as usual but I'm unable to get to the current postings page. All other PPrune threads work as normal. Seems odd.

[NutLoose]

Me too Winemaker, same issue

[ericlday]

And the same for me.....

[Senior Pilot]

I have reported this to IB, and see that they have been online checking, so I hope some action may be taken soon by IB Tech on this and on the YouTube links 👍

[sealo0]

If the problem is getting to 600 or so pages could we just make it Formula1 - 2 seems to work with Luton -10

Mike

[IBMJunkman]

Have redirect problem in F1 thread using Safari, Chrome and Firefox on iPad iOS 16.1.1

[sealo0]

Thanks seems to be working again

Mike

[ericlday]

Still a problem for me.....

[Andy_S]

It's working OK for me.

EDIT. No it's not! Accessed it no problem about 30 minutes ago, but it's gone wrong again. Appears to be the same problem as before.

[sealo0]

Stopped working again to many redirects,, spoke too soon

back to the drawing board

There has been an on and off problem for some years with various larger threads where I think a lot of posts have been necessarily deleted by moderation and spurious page counts then ensue? My Android seems to have more probs than my laptop when such problems arise. Would it not be sensible to have a new F1 thread to cover each season?

Edit: ah, I see somebody has already hived off F1 2022 as a separate thread! :ok:

After such a good suggestion, I just spent a spare half hour moving hundreds of posts into a new thread, https://www.pprune.org/jet-blast/649836-formula-1-season-2022-a.html

Come the end of discussion on this season, it's up to one of you to start a new thread sometime next January or February, please 👍

[treadigraph]

About once every decade I come up with a good idea... :} That's it then till around 2030...

Cheers SP!

[jolihokistix]

Agreed. Cheers and thanks to SP. 🙏

[Cornish Jack]

Something odd going on !
The last post accessible to me is from Mr Mac- #2560 (edited on the 27th.)
The 'Last Post' listing for this thread shows that it was from Peter Blue on the 29th, but that is not showing up. Any thoughts as to what is happening ?

[MechEngr]

I see new posts in the "New Posts" list but when I go there it's truncated to Nov 19th. I see the same thing on 2 different computers. Other forums seem OK, though no exhaustive search has been tried.

Edit - thanks for title edit - also, more detail - stuck on page 201 and the "goto" button indicates 4000 messages. I know I saw a post with a cartoon about voter vs. lobbyists that was after the current cut-off for me, but I don't know the current status

I have pprune.org, onetrust.com, and cookielaw.org enabled for javascript for this site.

Same happened for me, both on Android phone and Windows PC.

Yep, same here. Posted earlier and it didn't show....posted again, same topic, Del boy " enjoying the full confidence " etc, and it appeared....as did the first one, now deleted...with the chaps welfare in mind of course.

[golfbananajam]

I've just had the same on the F1 thread, last post available was a month ago yet the last post seems to have been today.

I had same problem on iPad/Safari, Windows 10/Chrome and Firefox. All cookies were confirmed cleared and history deleted in every case. It made not a happorth of difference.

[Saab Dastard]

I think this is a frequent error with long threads - the F1 (https://www.pprune.org/jet-blast/649836-formula-1-season-2022-a.html) thread has the same problem for me at the moment, as well as the US Politics Hamsterwheel V4.0 thread

What's weird is that it affects some people and not others. You can see and read the later posts if you Reply to the thread, without having to actually post a reply. It usually sorts itself out after a day or 2

[Senior Pilot]

Same issue for me on multiple threads, reported to IB.

[Flugzeug A]

Me too.
Last post I can read is 19th of November.

[PeterBlue]

It's apparently a software problem affecting multiple threads - see here (https://www.pprune.org/pprune-problems-queries/650092-us-politics-hamsterwheel-v4-0-thread-jetblast-stuck.html). Smells like a software change gone wrong. Appears to be fixed now.

[IBJoel]

Same issue for me. I'm making a tech ticket

[IBJoel]

Should be fixed now, although may require clearing your cache/logging out

[Blues&twos]

Slightly different problem for me with the F1 2022 thread. Maybe related to previous problems?

Although I can see that someone has posted a new reply to the thread, when I open it, only posts up to 17th October (post 880) are displayed.

Does anyone else have similar problems?

All other sub-forums and threads are working normally for me.

Already discussed and fixed https://www.pprune.org/pprune-problems-queries/650092-us-politics-hamsterwheel-v4-0-thread-jetblast-stuck.html

Note the last post; log out, clear cache, etc 👍

[Blues&twos]

Thanks Senior Pilot.

I have tried clearing my cache/logging out/clearing browsing history etc, as suggested several times.
Also posted a test post to the F1 thread, but although my post is indicated as the most recent addition, I can still only see up to Oct 17th, post 880 when I log back in to the site.
I'll try again later from my desktop PC, I'm currently doing all this from my mobile. Fingers crossed.

[treadigraph]

Same as Blues&Twos, logged out on Android and cleared cache ("PPRUNE seems to be important to you are you sure?" :8 or something likd that) still same problem with F1 thread; away from laptop at mo, will try clearing cache on that if I remember when I get home late tonight! Strange, thought it had worked very well... Also try a reboot with this thing...

Edit: reboot made no difference, sometimes a sortaouta of problems!

Sadly this hasn't worked for me.

[Geordie_Expat]

I'm having the same problem.

[Senior Pilot]

I’ve reported this again to IB, I have the same issue 🙊

[Expatrick]

Friday jokes thread seems to have gone the same way.

[IBJoel]

I found that changing my posts per page here: https://www.pprune.org/profile.php?do=editoptions (save at the bottom of the page)
Allowed me to see all posts

[treadigraph]

Ah, that worked for me IBJoel... :ok:

Edit: worked on jokes thread but not on F1... :uhoh:

[IBJoel]

I'm going to guess that the Formula 1 thread has just become too large and unwieldy for the database, especially with all the deleted posts, but we're still looking at it

I would guess again if I were you - that thread is tiny in comparison with many.

Absolute length is not the only factor in causing issues like that

See my post 17; I hived off the 2022 posts onto a new thread and both the original and the new thread were fine until the past couple of days, now the earlier thread is ‘stuck’ at page 517: https://www.pprune.org/jet-blast/471034-formula-1-a-517.html. Not fixed with the change of posts per page.

The Friday Jokes thread https://www.pprune.org/jet-blast/627806-friday-jokes-part-2-a.html has only 30 pages and about 580 posts, but the last page consistently will not show. Plenty of deleted posts but another example for our Techs to look at, please, and has been fixed with the suggested change of posts per page 👍

I tried the change of posts per page (used 20) and it has had no effect on Friday Jokes. Was 20 the right number to use?

Appreciate all your work to get this and other issues sorted out :ok:

20 is the default: both 30 and 40 work for me. Sorry the previous post wasn’t more specific.

Although the last page on this thread is 792 you always end up with page 788 when pressing 'last page'. You can scroll to the end but it's a long way. Can also press 'next page' several times which works. Same logged on or not but if logged on can use the direct to page feature provided you know what the last page is. Not seen this on any other thread.

[treadigraph]

Try setting "Number of Posts to Show Per Page" to 40 - cured page problems in other threads for me...

I didn't anything but it's working properly this morning. Prompt action by somebody? If so thanks.

Not working again this morning. Last page is 296 but get 294.

Tried this and it worked temporarily and then got stuck again. Went backwards and forwards between 30 and 40, only solving the problem for a short time. The only eventual way to get there was to actually post a fake message (and then erase it).

*Finally I tried the endless scroll option which does hesitate fractionally but magically overcomes the final stuck page problem and allows fresh posts to appear!

This means though, that without pages any more you need to create some new reflexes such as to push the return arrow to exit and get back to the overall Pprune new posts index page.

I have replied to a post and I can see in the (Rotorheads) summary page that the original poster has replied, and if I click on his details I can even see the actual post he wrote, but when I go the thread itself the last post I can see is my own. What is happening?

[212man]

My question has been merged into this thread, although this seems to be discussing long threads and the one I refer to has only two replies!


Maybe you could identify the Thread?

I have seen this behaviour with posters who have less than 10 posts. In such cases the post needs approval from a moderator before the rest of us can see it, even though you can see evidence of the post having been made at various places.
I'm guessing this thread: https://www.pprune.org/rotorheads/652879-performance-class-2-x-cat-sk92.html

It appears the OP responds with a post, then deletes the thread by deleting his OP! I have reopened it twice now, but I suspect your post and his first deletion may have crossed time zones?

Re the thread merges, without knowing which thread you referred to it was a merge based on what appeared to be reported in your thread which had to be moved to the correct forum anyway. Merging seemed the best choice 🤔😇

[Senior Pilot]

An interesting workaround which I have had success with recently is the top left of an active thread that you have been reading is the shortcut ‘View First Unread’.

This has consistently taken me to the ‘hidden’ last page, after which the thread becomes normally readable.

The shortcut is only there for threads that you have followed previously and which has more posts since your last visit. Not ideal but another solution when faced with this perennial problem 👍

[sealo0]

Sorry to bring up an old thread But I am getting this at the end of the thread without being able to add to it? I have done a “Contact Us” to the mods but then remembered this thread. Can someone help?

thanks in advance

I just tried this same thread on an iPhone and on my MacBook, I get the same 504/507 counter with just one post after the one that you show in your screenshot. I suspect that it is an internal counting error and not something serious. It could be related to posts requiring approval or moderation, those occur more often in threads like that.
