Forum Quick Questions

[Bowser]

In the last few days the forum has become really slow to load on my laptop. It's fine on my phone so it's evidently a me problem but i don't know what the solution is. Have restarted the computer. Am using Google Chrome on a Mac. Hesitant to clear all cookies if that means i'm logged out of everything else (and no other site is having the issue) so any suggestions appreciated!

You can delete individual cookies in Chrome (use this link to be lazy!). I’ve not noticed anything myself (also a Mac user), although one other member seems to have a similar sort of problem with a mobile phone for quite a while. Sadly never got to the bottom of it though, but again it’s single device specific. Might be worth trying switching to Cloudflare as a DNS provider (that’s what I use, but others are available) to see if that makes a difference? Might be worth trying on a different internet connection too (tether to your phone maybe?) to see if there’s a difference too.

Thanks Craig. The cookies didn't resolve it but changing internet connection did. Clearing the cache seems to have resolved it on the original WiFi.

This is more of a general TS question than a forum-specific one, so feel free to move it if that’s deemed necessary, but out of pure curiosity, is the Wiki still editable?

I stumbled across a thread discussing the Wiki this morning while looking for something else, and to be honest, it reminded me that the Wiki actually existed… I had pretty much completely forgotten about it until then! Looking through the articles, it almost seems like a different era of TS now… the newest thing I could find on there was Wicker Man, and that was now built 7 years ago!

I have no personal interest in editing it (as said, I’d completely forgotten it existed until this morning), but I noticed that the last change on most pages was in 2020 or earlier and I couldn’t see any obvious way to edit pages, so I was curious to know whether the Wiki actually can still be edited. Has this feature of the site been archived by the moderators?

For the time being the Wiki is still online but the decision was made a couple of years ago to disallow any further edits. You’re completely right though, it is very much part of TS history and representative of us a few years ago, but less so now.
