What browser is everybody using?
Im using firefox and have zero issues in firefox, ive noticed it in chrome however.
I might need to update our mybb platform if thats the case.
Otherwise, failing that, we will need to switch hosting providers which will cost us a little more.
Ive been in touch with them and they cant find anything up at their end. But will see if they can offer us a different server.

I'm using Safari and have had no problems.

Chrome here normally...
trialing MS Edge browser for today, so far no glitches
Might try out firefox tomorrow.
It would be quite pleasing almost if it just ended up being a Chrome problem - can anyone dispel that...

Out of interest have you had any issues with DDoS attacks lately? We have had to implement a proxy server (CloudFlare) due to the massive numbers of bot attempts to access our admin area which was making it near impossible to get into our own website. That and a bit more jiggerypokery seems to have solved the proble. Touch wood

Interesting people having issues with Chrome.
If anyone has issues in other browsers such as firefox, let me know.

Can't say I noticed any problems in my trial of Edge yesterday, which is odd since it's based on the same code as Chrome...
Maybe google have introduced some stupidness into Chrome...
I will persist with Edge for another day or so and move on to Firefox...

Well today I have been back to using Chrome and it hasn't missed a beat... So go figure..
Edge was fine over the last couple of days also...
I notice a new version of Chrome was released 2022-06-21, which was installed on 29th June for myself - just maybe...

Strange isint it?
I wonder if the hosting provider has done anything as a response to my emails?
Either way, the latency with an overseas server might not be helping things, but I think its probably a good idea to perform an upgrade, will need to take us offline when I do so, not too sure when I will have time but next week.
If end up switching hosting, I will probably go with an NZ crowd, but will cost us a bit more. If we get enough dontations to keep it running, I may consider this, but lets see how things play out first.

Do you know if they support CPANEL @harm_less? Can you verify this, it is one of the features of the current hosting.
EDIT: looks like they do, just checked it against your website @harm_less

there are a couple of good ideas for integrating a donation button as well post 6 and 7. Post six will at least get us a donate button and page to list bank account number etc
https://community.mybb.com/thread-202747.html
a badge plugin of sorts to identify donors (and other stuff) might note be a bad idea as well

Our sales outside of Australasia weren't significant but if we are contacted by a previous customer further afield we can do a manually invoiced sale if need be.

I quite like the idea of adding badges for donations.
Anyone still having any issues?
Im going to perform an update to mybb when I get some spare time.
