Albert Posted August 11, 2022 Author Share Posted August 11, 2022 Just now, Stephen said: I've had this happen a few times - I'll click to react to a post and get an error, then when I refresh the page I get a 403 error from cloudfront saying there may be too much traffic. It usually lasts less than a minute. Has anybody else had this happen? If you or anyone else is seeing this often, please let me know, and I can report this to Invision. Cloudfront is Amazon's CDN (Content Delivery Network), which in the context of a forum is generally used to store attachments and images. I haven't personally used Cloudfront (although I have looked into it in the past as an option), but they might be able to adjust the sensitivity to traffic. I have yet to see any messages of this type, and I've been on the forum quite a bit in the last two days as one might imagine after a big forum upgrade / move like this. ..Al 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I came to that post and it was edited just after it was posted. The problem is that both emails contain the same original post, no updates on the second one! I'd like to see both of those emails if you can pass them along with complete headers. I don't believe I've received two of any specific emails, but I get quite a few emails from the forum and it's possible I might have missed a duplicate. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The headers show that two distinct emails were sent, one right after another (two seconds apart), but they do appear to be identical otherwise. Not sure why that would have happened, but if I get enough reports about this, I will ask Invision to investigate. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sardonyx Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 It's looking good! One thing I noticed is the color of the highlight around the page numbers in the new theme isn't as easy to see as before: New: Old: The "Sort by" and "Mark as Read" buttons are OK in the new theme. Not sure if this change was intentional, but it's a little harder to see the full click area with the reduced contrast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I may ask the theme designer to fix this, and it's something I can fix myself fairly easily. If you hover over the buttons you still see a lighter color, but I do prefer the previous appearance. I didn't want to completely overwhelm him, last night I sent him some 40 different things to correct, and this all costs me money (it'll probably be a few hundred dollars for the changes he's working on now!) ..Al 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I need public posts, since Invision will likely want to see them and also verify any fix(es) they may apply. Assuming they don't just tell me to buzz off on this one, which is a possibility.

Albert Posted August 11, 2022 Author Share Posted August 11, 2022 I just received three identical emails when someone reacted to one of my comments in this thread. I've already sent an email to Invision support asking them to investigate this. I would like to say, this is an example of an issue I'm glad I won't have to dig into myself! Previously this would have been my responsibility. ..Al 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
