I think it's permanently broken. Citywire don't seem to bother. Typical issues I have are -

Clicking a link to a thread and being told that the server thinks I'm a bot and blocks the page loading.

Trying to log in to my account and the server tells me the page I want doesn't exist. I can only post from this one device which does log in OK. None of my other devices can access my account.

And the frequent server time outs when trying to load a page.

It's broken. Full stop.

same experience here.

Thinks I'm a bot sometimes.

Often just so slow to load a page I give up and read something else.

I suppose it isn't monetised so they don't bother upgrading their servers.

Just the one problem encountered here: an inability to view the later pages of the Transactions thread, which may be broken due to its length?....A not uncommon problem on fora.

Perhaps time for Transactions Ep 2?

When I click on the last page of a thread (all threads not just Transactions) it doesn't take me to the last page.
This started a few days ago.

Other than that, it seems OK to me.
There has been the odd occasion when navigating it tells me something to the effect that 'they think I might be a bot because I'm navigating page at superhuman speed' or something.

At the moment, I just can't get on the transactions thead, it repeatedly says I'm a bot. But a second later, I'm here. Very broken, I'm afraid.

If you have standard security settings Javascript is probably disabled. (Not a bad thing). JS="N" seems to trigger that notice

This to me is only happening on the Transaction thread, maybe it is too large.

I doubt the thread exists as a thread in the database. It depends how old this stuff is. USUALLY what you are seeing is a single page so it doesn't matter how many pages there are as you are only seeing the last one and that is all that is retrieved from the database.

I can't access the SHARES site when I am in Funds Insider mode, it automatically switches me to Investment Trust Insider ,then I get the error message.
This fault started on Friday, I was trying to post an article regarding the alleged offer for Aviva but it was not to be, so excuse me, I will have my say now.
May I say the offer as certainly stirred the pot and brought a bit of interest in the unloved sector.
I have been topping up my holdings in the sector since the Truss fiasco and now maybe payday.
