Unable to view Notifications

[iands]

Since the very recent (weekend/yesterday) "server updates" I can no longer access/view my Notifications, I just get the "egg time" constantly spinning, although the indicator (white numbers in a red box) shows 22 (currently) new notifications. The same issue is evident on mobile phone, tablet and laptop/PC so I don't think the issue is at my end. Is anyone else having a problem?

[Fastdax]

Me too.

[DLT]

Yes, I have the same issue.

Dave.

No, mine opens immediately.

[Fastdax]

Even stranger: if I click Notifications when looking at this topic, I DO get the list of recent updates.

 

If I go to my usual "7mm+ Modelling" area, I don't.

[DLT]

Mine seems to be working again.

Ah, yes, I get the same result as you Fastdax, thanks for the lead. It definitely doesn't work from the "main menu" page.

I was getting egg-time yesterday, when the servers were undergoing maintenance, but it seems fine now.

 

I did get something very strange in the PM system though this morning: sending a response to a PM resulted in an edit to someone else's PM.

It would appear that 'normal sevice' has been resumed. Thanks to all for comments/advice/assistance etc.

[Fastdax]

I still get the spinny arrows of doom in the 7mm+ modelling area.

 

Can someone else try this please?

I get the same regarding 'notifications' All else seems to work properly, if a bit slow, for instance uploading a post.

 

P.S. This has been popping up on occasion when trying to post.. 

  This site can’t be reached

www.rmweb.co.uk took too long to respond.

Try:

• Checking the connection
• Checking the proxy and the firewall
• Running Windows Network Diagnostics

I can access mine when I am in a topic, but not when I'm in "My Content"

Getting weirder by the minute!

Seems I spoke too soon. Went for dinner, came back and the earlier problem seems to have returned. I guess I'll just have to be patient.

A possible fix:

 

I noticed that the link to 7mm+ Modelling on my (Google Chrome) bookmarks bar leads to a page which shows spinning arrows:

 

http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/forum/89-7mm-modelling/

 

If I open a new copy of RMWeb.co.uk and navigate to 7mm+ Modelling then I do get the Notifications list. Chrome displays this URL:

 

https://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/forum/89-7mm-modelling/

 

So it looks to me like the old, insecure server (http) is now broken as regards the Notifications, but the new (https) server is OK.

 

As a test, i added "s" to the http in another RMWeb link that I keep on my bookmarks bar. Following this link then gave me a page with Notifications.

 

I have updated my bookmarks to use https and now all operates properly.

'Notifications' still won't load whichever browser is used. Thought that it might be that.

John,

 

So if you click the second link in my post above - no notifications?

[Ruston]

I'm getting the same problem with the notifications but the same thing is also happening with messages. All I get when I click the envelope is the spinning thing.

 

When logging in just now I also got some strange message about "we are transferring you", or something like that. I've never seen that before.

[iands]

I don't seem to be having any problems at the moment, all now okay. "Famous last words" notwithstanding of course!

Yes that works. Thank you Duncan.
