Problems with forum
I have had problems accessing the forum over the last two days; I find myself now able to access posts. My ID stated that I "didn't exist", nor could I access anything on the forum. I went surfing the forum in circles, Under the settings section there are 12 different IP addresses (some internal beginning with 10, others with 81, 82 and one 193). This leads me to think (ask) of the following: has the forum been hacked? is there a data breach? have I done something wrong or posted stuff that is objectionable? (as mentioned elsewhere) a bug with CloudFlare (as I get the occasional 502 bad gateway error)? is it bugs or errors in the forum software? is it a Windows problem? am I being stupid? all/none of the above. If it were bugs or errors in the software, I presume they have now been fixed as I can now make posts again. Any comments, help etc are welcome. Cheers.New Forum..theme and design comments
What do you think Now we've lost a lot of facilities that used to be in previous Themes Post editing facility, gone Signatures, gone Users on line, gone Page thread view count, gone Page numbering, gone Video thumbs need cookie acceptance printed over the top of the thumb now Text messages showing in one column about one third of width of page on my screen Ability to view newest posts first in a long thread or to go to the latest post quickly, gone So far this is what I've noticed . Is this an improvement or not? Buffer6
No recording - alternative
I've just taken first steps to switch from Sky to Virgin for broadband/tv. We have full fibre broadband - does that mean we will only get a Stream Box, on which I'm led to believe you cannot record, and does this mean (for example) I can't watch a sports match (on TNT for example) which I've missed? if there is a problem in doing this can I request a box which allows recording? (360?!?) or do I need to cancel my order?Best Virgin Media Setup for High-Core Workloads? (Xeon 28-Core 2.9GHz)
Hi Virgin Media community! 🚀 I’m upgrading my home workstation to a Xeon 28-Core 2.9GHz (6.0GT/s UPI) for heavy tasks like 4K video editing, 3D rendering, and scientific computing. With Virgin Media’s gigabit broadband, I want to optimize my setup for: Remote Workflows: Syncing large project files to cloud servers (e.g., Adobe Creative Cloud, Blender renders). Low-Latency Needs: Real-time collaboration tools (Zoom, Teams) while the CPU handles background renders. Network Stability: Minimizing lag during multi-core workloads (28 cores at full tilt!). Questions: Any Virgin Media users running similar high-core-count systems? How’s your experience with upload/download consistency under heavy loads? Recommended Virgin Media routers/hardware to avoid bottlenecks? (Currently on Hub 4.) Tips to prioritize traffic (e.g., QoS settings) when the Xeon’s UPI interconnect is pushing data? Specs for reference: CPU: Intel Xeon 28C/56T | 2.9GHz base | 6.0GT/s UPI Use Case: Local rendering + cloud backups | 10Gbe LAN Cheers for any advice!Virgin mail app password
