    Watch Talk - Anyone else not able to access it?

    Strange one. Never experienced problems before but suddenly find I can't access WT. I can access all other fora. I notice threads are updating in there unless that's people finishing their posts from an earlier log in.

    It's very strange, I can't click on it on Chrome on my phone, only on my laptop.

    Edit: wait, cancel, now I can't click on it on my laptop either.

    Edit again: I can get in via other links, just not by the direct link on the forum index.

    And again, thought my i-pad was packing up. Have had intermittent issues with some of the others.

    Never mind guys, lets all pile over to the BP 😂

    Same here but I'm accessing it via any of the forum threads or new forum posts which are in Watch Talk highlighted on the right hand side of the main forum page. Once in that post clicking on "watch talk" at the top of the chosen post

    On my iPad, every time I clicked on <quick links>/today’s posts

    It sent the page to ‘bookmarks’, but did nowt else.

    rebooted my iPad and is fixed now.

    suspect it is some dodgy cookies or whatever on this site.

    Watch Talk now requires 2,500 posts to access.

    All OK after (1) clearing caches … which partially remedied the problem … and 2) running 'Clean My Mac'

    I had the same problem last night. Wondering if its ad related as earlier in the day I'd opened a thread and the first post was nothing but a scrolling ad, refreshing didn't help. Had to close the window.

    Clear/empty your caches

    Can't open it at all today, clearing the cache doesn't seem to have helped.

    I’ve been having issues on here last couple of days, seem to be unable to click on the first couple of threads in this section the majority of the time.

    I can open this forum but as now can’t click on this thread.

    Only way I’ve been able to access it is from the main page clicking it (as it’s to the right of the specific forum header because it has the last post in the forum)

    Try closing down all applications which are open but not in use. And clear the caches

    Doesn’t work. Can’t click the first two threads of any forum page in Chrome. Works fine in Safari.

    Someone said in the other thread it is something to do with the forum ad software. They can click the threads until the ad banner pops up, then its as if the first two threads aren’t recognised as links by the browser.

    This ad stuff really messes with the forum layout and functionality, it’s pretty disruptive...I would happily pay an annual fee to remove ads! Is there an option on vBulletin to allow this?

    Yep seems like a real mess at the moment, I'm having issues with being unable to open watch talk and certain threads as per this thread. Also had one of the ads try to force sound through the browser every time I loaded the page. I'm also getting the blank pop up page issue which someone created a thread about a few months ago.

    I'm on the latest version of Android and the latest version of Chrome so no issues there.

    Nope, using Chrome on Android.

    Think it is ad related, some seem to autoclick and open, plus the first post scrolling ad I had the other day.

    I'm feeling left out, no problems here with Safari on Mac or Chrome on iOS. I don't run an adblocker on TZ as the revenue covers Eddies costs, but I've not had any unusual pop-ups or sounds playing.

    Here's a direct link to the most important thread in Watch Talk at the moment for those who can't access it.
