Links are broken on the boards (?)

DocRedgrave··2 votes·964 views

Lately as I try to navigate through the boards to different sections I get these error messages with that photo of Gragas being carried by Corki planes on them (I don't know how else to describe it). I don't know if something's gone wrong here but it's gotten obnoxious. It tends to happen randomly for me except when I click "General Discussion". Then it's guaranteed to happen.

Update: The devs are working on this and continue to implement a fix.

Coolio, gl on your all's end.

I can't say it's fixed just yet, need to go click a lot more links to be sure, but I will say I've noticed a sudden performance improvement

(Apologies if this is getting close to spam for you Afford) Just got another crash and back to more sluggish performance, whoever hit a switch back there needs to flip it back :P

I was seeing this too. Thanks for the report, I'll let the appropriate Rioters know.

It's happening to me as well, but I believe it's more of a server/connectivity problem rather than a link problem.

Do you guys happen to have a specific example of a page that's particularly prone to breaking?

Sir ArmaMalum1 votes

I could say the front page, but that could just as easily be because that's the one I visit most often.

From what I can tell it doesn't seem to be affected by post size, as it happens to short posts just as much as longer ones, at least for me.

Whenever I go onto the Red Tracker page and find a conversation listed in "General Discussion" and click the link on the post to go to the "General Discussion" page, it has always given me the error message. Also it occasionally happens with the Red Tracker link.

one sec, I'll see if I can confirm

They're doing fine for me atm. Three times each no crash.

It has crashed about 3/4 of the time on any post on the Boards that I've navigated to however. A simple refresh fixes it, but naturally still a problem.

I guess it's different for me but even if I refresh the page it rarely works.

What browser are you using? I'm using Chrome with 2 add-ons right now (adblock, QR code translator)

Edit: Crashed going back to the front page again :P

I'm using Google Chrome as well. Not sure about what add-ons i'm using.

I'm getting the same crash on firefox.

Little of an update, getting a different crash occasionally. Returning a simple string "Unable to retrieve discussions". Usually on my way to the front page. I'm assuming it's the Beta team messing around with the clockwork, but hey 100% communication is best right? :P
