White Outs
« on: January 15, 2019, 10:49:32 pm »
Getting reports of white outs on my forum https://comeallwithin.createaforum.com/general-discussion/white-outs/
Not suffering them myself so don't even know what it means.


Possibly linked to this report https://support.createaforum.com/8/blank-white-pages-instead-of-post/

    I've noticed when the white outs happen and you try and reload the page that at the bottom left of the screen it seems to have something to do with "bigestsafe.com" - which I've Google searched and lots of Malware related search results come back. The line I get is often: "Waiting for bigestsafe.com".

My guess if it is a script on your site. Something you added to your headers or footers. Any kind of javascript.

I commented out all my headers and footers on the site and am still getting the problem.
I haven't changed the layout in months, and we never used to see this problem.

One of the people on my site, who understands these things better than me, sent me this information (but it means nothing to me)
Firefox 64.0 on Ubuntu Linux

Clicked on bookmark (https://comeallwithin.createaforum.com/general-discussion/) with F12 developer panel running. Got white-out.

Request method: GET
Remote address: 64.79.105.131:443
Status code: 200

With disable cache option still white-outs.

Do you have any strange bbc code on that page? I am trying to think what would cause it. I see a timeout/memory issue in my logs.

It's always when attempting to go to the https://comeallwithin.createaforum.com/general-discussion page. No other page has been reported. 


I changed it originally to make the colours more "Harlequins", but I've made no changes to the headers/footers or layout in months. I occasionally change the .jpg displayed for the forum but that's it. As I said, I turned off the headers/footers and the problem was still there.


Someone suggested that it might be something malformed in the advert stream, which is why I wasn't getting the issue using edge but was using chrome.  Someone else said, not surprisingly, they weren't getting the issue when using the WAP version. But if it was the advert stream, surely more people would be complaining?


I have been unable to make to make this reproducible on demand, and I know that's the first step to being able to solve an IT support problem.


Right now, as far as I'm concerned, there is no problem, I refresh the page over and over and every time it works perfectly. I'll try and check it tomorrow against number of people using the site and see if there's any correlation.


Sorry, i know that's not a huge amount of help. but I'll keep trying to find what happens when we get this.


Thanks.

People are now claiming that it is the "/" on the end of https://comeallwithin.createaforum.com/general-discussion/ that is causing the problem.
They claim https://comeallwithin.createaforum.com/general-discussion gives no issue.


Can that possibly be true? I've given a couple of links myself without the "/" on the end, but can I remove it from the ComeAllWithin»Forum page (the bit where you choose your board)
