Why are these forums so horribly broken?

    FWIW, the forum has been basically unusable for me with Firefox, so I switched to Chromium (to come here), which is still buggy, but at least it?s usable. (I still get a DB error message every time I post a comment, e.g., but then the comment will show up when I reload the page.)

    What?s a much bigger problem for me is the lack of consistent UTF-8 support. Whenever I post a message (even in an ?advanced? editor), all non-ASCII characters are replaced with question marks, and I then have to fix this manually (by editing the post.)

    edit: it happened again. While composing and in the preview, all the quotes and apostrophes looked fine. But after posting, only ?s.

      Yea seems like some kind of forum software version upgrade is likely required, which, I believe was mentioned above or in anther thread are coming eventually.

        It's still doing it.
        It really does seem to have to do with "page changes" though.
        Like a thread changes page, it gets stuck at the one before.

          2. I cannot access any page beyond the first page of any thread. I tried to add "/page2" at the end of a url and this makes the url end with "/page2" but I'm still looking at page one.

          3. I was responding to the thread entitled "Common Sense", but I'm out of this conversation because I can't access page two of the conversation - everything I try keeps taking me back to page 1 while the url reads "page 2".

          I hope someone can answer my question before it changes pages.. otherwise I won't be able to follow from page 2 onward.

          I'm using Kubuntu 20.04 with all default software.
          I am having the exact same problems, as above, also I can't get to page 3 on this thread. https://www.kubuntuforums.net/showth...hift-yet/page3

            Some of the best running forums are using Xenforo, it behaves well on the desktop, and on a phone browser.

              Hi
              I'm running FF on Kubu 19.04 and have had zero problems. I don't post much but do pop in.

                Hi
                It took four times, I think, to log in today, the message was that I had logged in before.

                  Same issue still persists. Can not get beyond page 1 of most threads. Therefore I deem these forums utterly broken atm. What all is involved in the upgrade?

                    I get the database error message, but my posts go thru without issue. Kubuntu 20.04 LTS and Firefox 88.0
