Hmmm. Now I'm getting ads that redirect me to the play store to download uber

That took me to Empire: Four Kingdoms

I'm also getting the redirect to Uber, sometimes to other apps. It seems to happen when I am in Messages.
Yesterday, I got an error message. Error: This link is not available.
The link was: redirect.afftrx.com

Anybody have any idea on how to remove this or do we wait for Samsung to patch it?

I can't get this thread moved here to the suggestion box.

Spam bans and simple thread deletes - not reliable.

Makes mod work rather difficult

Yep, can't post in certain forums and moving stuff is impossible.

All this is happening again.

Try now, that was due to a large add on being installed I think ( hope ).

OK, looks like you poked the right gerbil to get the tools working again.

Getting server errors when deleting duplicate threads. However, even with the server error, the thread gets removed.

I was noticing the same thing, but we may have been tripping on each other in that instance.

App announcements or the Xoom forum?

i see errors from members inserting new threads too.

Announcements. Obviously that poor dude was having major dupe thread issues.

I'm really trying to like some posts, but I can't.

Yeah, I have that issue sometimes too...it just hangs for a while, then finally goes thru.

@Phases,
I've noticed that the most common theme preventing moderator actions on threads revolves around the last post in the thread. In cases where there is only one post (the majority of the duplicates) the OP is both the first and the last post.

In this thread I was able to merge the many duplicate threads into a single thread.

I was able to delete all of the other posts, including the OP (since restored) except the last post in the thread. When the member posted another dupe I was able to merge that in and then delete what was previously the last post with no problem but was unable to delete the new last post to the thread.

I hope that makes sense.

How about now?

Error on the first try. I'll try some others.

I was able to delete some dupe threads, but I got an error every time. When I'd go back to the thread list they would still be selected (yellow) but some or all would be deleted. I was able to repeat until all the dupes were gone. That was a little earlier.

As far as deleting the last post of merged dupes it is still acting the same. The only one of four threads where I was able to delete the final duplicate post was where someone had replied making the last dupe no longer the last post.

Another example of this.

I couldn't like the OP in that thread until after I responded.

I've just uninstalled the problematic plugin - let's hope stability returns.

just restarted services for good measure. (because when I posted that ^ it hung :\ )

Edit: so far seems so good for me. Mods pls confirm.

so far so good....I went back to 2 threads from 2013 in the AQ forum and had no problem deleting them.

Edit: and then more waiting in reports...
Nice!
Thank you!

Mikey cleaned up the old dupes, so I can't test that. Everything else seems much better though, and I'm not finding dupes everytime I open new posts, so I think you got it.

getting the lag again (the chicklets bit) when posting, sending pm's, hovering over my alerts...server errors.


Edit: after hitting the "post reply" button for my post, it took 20 seconds to post
