Definitely more broken than usual, from my perspective. The things I've noticed:
(Preface: unless otherwise noted, all of these appear on both of my daily-use systems; my work machine, a dual-core Intel laptop running XP Pro and Firefox,
and my home PC, a P4 laptop running XP Pro and Firefox. The work machine uses two different internet connections: my home DSL via Qwest, and my corporate
internet gateway, which I think is AT&T.)
* Page loads: Yuku randomly just... stops responding. This might be Google, as it's apparently trying to load something from or otherwise contact
'googleanalytics.com' and stalling. If I stop the load and refresh, it generally works just fine. That time. Frequency: about 1 in 5 (just tested it
and had it happen on the third click, in fact
.
* Search: completely broken, won't return -anything-, even by basic username search. This was not the case previously (I started a thread when I noticed
it), though I'll admit search never worked -well-.
* Random logouts: even though I'm set to remember my login, I allow cookies, and I have -not- cleared cache or anything else, Yuku just forgets who I am
and logs me out. This is more annoying than problematic, except when it does it between hitting Reply and hitting Post, at which point it forgets everything I
typed, or double-posts me. Frequency: at least 3 times per week, probably more (I've gotten so used to it I haven't been paying much attention, I just
got in the habit of checking every time I visit).
* Vanishing domain: Yuku blinks out regularly, dropping off the face of the net. They have a static IP and last time it happened I tried getting there via
that route (which worked); that does no good at all for visiting this board, however, as they depend on hostname mapping on Yuku's end. Frequency: at
least once a week that I've noticed, typically in the afternoons when I'm bored at work and looking for something to read.
* Vanishing posts: I've noticed comments from others about this, and had it happen to me once in the past month. Never had an issue before the huge
problem they had a while back where the server died or something like that and they had to restore it (about the same time as my noting the search was borked).
The missing post was last week. Frequency: uncommon.
* New posts notice: the little icon at the main board level tells me I have unread posts in a subforum; I go there, and find nothing I haven't read before.
I return to the main board and click on it to jump directly to the post and am taken to the latest post in that thread... which I've already read.
Frequency: daily (I don't even use the icon anymore, I just look at the forum and trust my memory).
There's something else tickling my memory but I can't think of it. The thing to note is that all of these problems, for me, have appeared or escalated
recently; they're not long-standing issues I've had to deal with before.
Hope this helps in some fashion.
