Any chance of a screenshot, or the exact text? All systems appear healthy hear, and the error went away for me, but clearly .. not for you!

I'm led to believe the error you're seeing is outside our infrastructure (i.e. between your browser and our caching from end - the request doesn't even reach our servers) , so very difficult to diagnose without additional information. 🙏 i.e. Could be ISP, any part of the network, the browser, cloudflare.. any info is handy!

Also, am guessing on a "refresh" of browser, it then appears? (did for me, when problem existed)

They did and do, we had a configuration issue .. all fixed.

Speaking of Cloudflare.. see if the connect errors go away; we trialed the HTTP3 option turned on on Cloudflare, and think that might be the problem...have turned it off to see if the error goes away.

So far don’t like

It it times out on Safari…. If that’s the term. I have a few tabs open and when I come back to SB it’s always saying can’t display as lost connection to server. So I have to refresh, that doesn’t always work so I’m clicking back arrow. Putting me on a page I don’t want. It used to be easy to come back to SB and as I opened the page it always worked. Frustrating if you want to have the forecast open and come back to it lots during the day

(2) trying to add pics to a post. It only shows the first page of pics and scrolling down to make it load another page it looks like it’s trying - white screen like it’s thinking- then after 10-20sec it loads the first screen of my pics again. So can’t load an old one into a post. Went and found the pic, copied it, no paste option in the edit post screen.

too hard I’ll wait til I’m on PC and use the old version lol

Odd, I get that now and again, and am looking to isolate. It's actually coming from CloudFlare who are our edge caching provider (power 20% of the internet) .. is it still happening for you?

Loading pages seems a bit slower on my devices, not a complaint just an observation
Cheers TK

Should be lightning fast now. We had issues with bot's smashing the site, and have mitigated. AI scrapers have gone nuts of late.

Will do. I know this is weird, but are you clicking on the left of the title, or on the right where the avatars are?

Try tap/click on the right, not the left.

Shall fix this.

Sure. 👍 All done.

Hi Seabreeze........I like the new Website on the whole but I preferred seeing the high and low tide times under the graph like the old site.
Love the flag 👍
Keep up the good work

Absolutely .. missed that little guy on the rebuild. He's coming...

Man these mid post adverts are beyond annoying, it's like being on a ****ty Newscorp site where you endlessly scroll down but keep getting sent to the top of the page as the adverts load.

Sorry about that .. necessary evil to keep the lights on - but they should be that intrusive. Is it breaking scrolling, or ... ? let me know, as that's not on .. they should be static, non-layout shifting...

FYI. The sub-category Links in the Buy & Sell section are broken. They all link to the top level category. This is on Safari, Mac.

Sorry for that, was a tempory issue. 👍

Is this huge blank space at the top of the page intentional?

That would be caused by your adblocker. 😎

Yay! Thanks crew. It's paramount that it's good, and no pixel is too insignificant.

There are a 1000 different devices that web sites are rendered to - phones, laptops, desktops, all of varying vintage. Quite amazing tech, really.

So odd? You're using the new beta, right? And you go to the Profile menu at the top right, and choose the light theme (or via the Unit Preferences dialog), and it persists as dark theme?

It's a simple cookie "Theme=Dark", or "Theme=Light" .. if you're game, you could open the developer tools in your browser, go to the console, and type :

Cookies.set("Theme","Light")

It's that simple?! Got me beat. Anybody else suffing theme switching issues?

So, tweaks have been made - the blues were a bit eye-watering, and the fonts a bit large. I'm liking the new look.

Everybody happy? Speak up if not! 😀

I don't mind the site on the PC but I find it a bit difficult when using my phone which is normally what I use to visit Seabreeze.
As others have said, tell Laurie you think his baby is ugly. He's asked for the your opinion

Well done Laurie - a most humble and honest post from you as the originator and administrator of the site - imho the new site is perfect and a good improvement.

Thank you!

Thanks team.

Usual story: Watersports site, made for pain relief and fun. Clearly, a bit of name calling going on.

Plenty of other places to discuss this stuff.

Thanks.
