Jesus guys this one's painful. Constant white pages

I seem to have picked the right day to not be online all morning, but I heard the same from some of the mods. If it's still happening I'll take more urgent action

We have been made aware of an increase in redirection issues, as well as the problems reported on the previous page by Biffa. If the latter happens, we'd recommend you refresh the tab because that seems to fix it. It might take more than one try though. We've contacted the techies and they're aware of the issues but that's all we know for now.

Getting them as well, very often today

White pages all morning on mobile, though when the site is working, the malicious redirecting ads appear to have been dealt with now.

Getting a few white pages again

white pages & redirects yet again. reloading page multiple times

Same problem here, am reporting now. Again.

White pages again... I´m guessing there´s football happening somewhere?

yes, me too

Thanks both, I'm hoping we won't have to wait too much longer for a fix at this point.

was seriously bad earlier. Haven't even been able to open the site for the last couple of hours. Withdrawal

It's been inaccessible to me all morning

Noted, had the same issue myself

Surely entirely on topic? Difficult to discuss how Kubica would do at Ferrari without establishing if he was better than the guy he'd be replacing.

While comparing him to Kubica, sure. While going off on a tangent about tiers and solely focusing on Massa without mentioning Kubica, not so much.

But they were never team mates and the only common team mate they had is Heidfeld when Massa was a rookie, so that is literally the only way anyone can compare them. By judging where they sit alongside their peers. Hence the discussion over which tier Massa would be in.

But it's not just Heidfeld being compared. Alonso and Raikkonen never drove alongside Kubica, and nor did Bottas or Fisichella either. Yet all have been brought up. Besides, if you use the simple X beat Y, Y beat Z so X is better than Z, you ignore the many factors deciding that outcome. I forget the pattern but it's possible using that method to 'prove' Badoer would annihilate Senna.

Fact!!!

I that other threads have gone way worse off topic, this was still relevant to the point somewhat; the conversation sometimes steers away, but it almost always comes back on topic itself. In any case, we can move on!

But the success or not of the pattern, and for what it's worth if you take out first and final seasons it's easily the best predicting tool we have, is a moot point. How can a discussion of how good Massa is be off topic in a thread about him being possibly replaced? The thread is tacitly about Massa as much as it is about Kubica. If you narrow the topic down so much that Massa becomes off topic then what can you discuss? You can't talk about how well you think Kubica would do without establishing how good Massa was.

Sorry for the delay. You're both right, but when it gets to the point where people are making wildly varied claims that in some cases are thinly veiled trolling, we have to draw the line somewhere.

I don't thin that was happening at all in the discussion around Massa but the topics moved on now anyway so happy to agree to disagree.

Hey mods.. have a question. I referred my friend to sign up for the forums. He registered a few months ago but never signed in. Now when he selects "forgot password" it wants to know his username which he cannot remember. Is there another link for forgot username? I can't seem to find it. What should he do now to sign in? Thanks..

I dont believe we can recover a lost username via the forum, though if he never got around to logging in, it's probably a better bet (and easier) just to make a new account.

Email p-f1mod@hotmail.com and I'll try to find it but it's unlikely given how the system works (or doesn't). I'll need the email address used to sign up.

Just sent a PM for the first time and after clicking the send the PM is stuck in outbox. Does mean it hasn't yet sent, as I would assume it would go to sent messages once it has sent?

It stays in the outbox until opened by the recipient, don't worry it's perfectly normal

That's great, thank you

Is there a way to get notified when someone quotes your post in a reply? I can't seem to find the option (if it exists). Thanks!

Not that I've seen, sorry!

I don’t know if I inadvertently hit the “subscribe” link for the main forum or not but it got toggled on so the inbox of my personal email was jammed with message alerts when I got home from work. So I came to the site unsubscribed but continued to get message alerts by email.

I tried logging out and back in and checked all of the settings in my profile and don’t see anything that could be causing this. Really annoying because I don’t need to know every time somebody posts on any post in the main forum.

Please help.

The only setting I can see is in the User Control Panel (link at the top right of every page), on the bar on the left hand side the is a link that says 'Manage Subscriptions' click that, and see what it says in there. I've got no active subscriptions so I can't see the settings to turn them on and off but there is a little explanation on that page at the top about how to do it if you do have active subscriptions.

the joy of white pages again today, unfortunately. Ironically while trying to submit this, too

That's one thing I agree with you on!

Reported it, I think it's working alright at the moment? I know it was being a pain earlier, myself and Mod Yellow were struggling too.
