Anyone who can't reply will need to clear their cache. The js has changed a little and you won't see a reply box if the old version is still cached.

How do you do that? For mobile, and for PC?

I wouldn't expect anything less from someone who googles everything they say.

Thank g o d for that, I always think it's something I've done with my fat fingers and wrong glasses.

Sometimes you've just got to take an L and own it, I think this was one of those times.

Anyone else now experiencing the feed jiggling up and down when they attempt to scroll?

So it seems as if the reason we're so slow is "AI"* bot scraping. Not an easy one to solve as they don't identify as bots, "AI" bots identify using standard user strings. I'm working on a couple of things at the moment, but it might just mean chucking a load of memory at the problem and living with it.

It's obviously because everything I post is so interesting and factual that all the AIs in the world want to use my posts as answers to search queries.


*Mostly this isn't real AI, it's just human style responses to search queries. I did suggest a better description of this technology would be Advanced Response Search Engines, but for some reason it didn't get much traction.

Can't you just chuck it behind Cloudflare? Their bot detection is very good.

It is, but their false positive rate is also very high.
