When I try to update my email address, I get the message "The entered email address is already in use.".

I don't really see how that can be true, and I may well lose the use of my original email account soon, because it belongs to an ISP I am no longer with.

I caught this a bit late -- let me know in pm what your new email address is, so I can check other accounts...

My mistake. It seems I did register with that other email address, under a different user name, in 2014. I've just found a note I left to myself saying that I couldn't log in again, and couldn't reset the password (in 2015, I think) because the reset link was sending me invalid passwords, at the time - the password system requires mixed case, and digits, but the "forgot my password" emails sent all upper case, invalid passwords. My solution was to give up and register this newer account, with a different email address.

So, I've now recovered that older account, which had exactly one post, and changed its email address so I could then change the one for this account (with a few more posts) to use that one again. It's only taken me ten years to figure this out, but mostly because I'd forgotten what happened

Hi
"New Posts" is not working for me, even though I've read the latest ones they are still showing
Is anyone else having the same problem
Cheers

It should port to this link: search.php?search_id=newposts
Works for me!

I'm not sure what is the problem you are addressing. New posts will show you the newest posts, regardless you've read them or not. Unread posts will show the posts that you still haven't read, sorted by time if that's what you're look for.

I've seen this banner at the top of my screen twice in the last few days, I believe it's while I'm doing a search. If you need more details, I'll try to replicate it.

Hey, thanks for calling this one in.
I have never seen this on Chrome...
It's related to a the SEO metadata extension, which we don't use, but is strictly speaking on disabled. It might be required for the sign-up proces through socials.

Which browser? Version?

It seems to occur in a specific context. Please, do try to replicate it and let us know the specific URL address. I could do a blanket fix, but I'd like to know more about why.

We are actually using it, its job is to insert SEO tags into the page HTML. It is not required (other than for SEO), but I wouldn't disable it, it might affect FSB internet search visibility.

It happened again just now, navigating to this very page - viewtopic.php?t=106
The sequence was:
1. Login
2. Read Notifications
3. Click Quick Links/Your Posts at top left navigation bar
4. Select this post, and it was there when the page opened.

My setup:
Windows 11 Pro 23H2, version 22631.4317
Chrome Version 130.0.6723.91 (Official Build) (64-bit)

<edit> Chrome just updated itself to Version 130.0.6723.92, I restarted the browser, and the error message continues.

Thank you for the detailed description.

I'm puzzled. I could not make it appear. That's a phpBB debug message and the debug mode is not even activated. Also, nothing in the logs .

The code causing the message extracts post images parameters, includind their post text as descriptions. I just added a blanket fix in the module to make sure the description exists even if empty.

Please, if it still happens, put a screenshot here.

[Andy2No]

Could it relate to a notification for a post which was deleted as spam?

[The G]

Not impossible.
First, I should correct the info in my previous message: the "description" referred in the code is actually the post text.
The post text column in the database cannot be null, so it's always text, even if empty text. One could conceive trying to extract image SEO data after deleting the post it contained it.

It's not happening today, even duplicating the same sequence of events that invariably invoked it yesterday.

FYI: Logging in from the US on Nov 20 just after 12:00 noon UTC, all pages are exceedingly slow to load, >45 seconds. Not timing out, just very slow. Browser doesn't matter - Chrome, Brave, Firefox all the same. No issues with any other UK or US site from here.

[modman]

I had this experience a few days back, but not at home so couldn't rely on the connection being stable, dismissed it.
Forum response is ok now for me, on Chrome Linux
Did you check your internet speed: https://www.speedtest.net/ ?

[mauman]

Speed good here, and all other sites I checked worldwide were responding at normal speed. Could be something specific between the US/Texas and your server's location at that time of day... No complaints, I can just come back later, but thought I'd post it for you.

UPDATE: Nov 21 @ 0538 UTC, all is well, no delays.

Very slow at the moment from Italy. Same thing happened sometimes in these last few days.
Also, but this could be Firefox related, I've had to log in again (usually I flag the "remember me" option, so I'm always logged in).

I experienced this too, not all the time, checking the server log.

Timed out completely this morning and it wasn't a regional problem according to downforeveryoneorjustme.com :
