My personal VNC stream now says "No content to display yet" though plenty has been posted since I was last on at 20.00 last night. I'll wait a few hours to see if it comes back, meanwhile I'm using the Unread Content option.

Mine is working as before.

I like the new emojis, but what is with this.....you may be interested in.... that we see with each email notification? It would be a good idea if every email had a different set of 4 topics to look at but it is the same 4 that you posted yonks ago!!!!! I like the idea but boring, boring, boring if we see those same 4 all the time. Can you mix it up?

I like that the search options are limited to just this site again (and not the whole of google).

So thanks for that. ?

E.T.A  The emojis are pretty fab too. ?

 

Oh...

And there was me delighted with, and particularly enjoying the database improvements (conversion to utf8mb4 encoding)

?

First thing this morning I got the "no new messages" display but the next time I tried all was well. However, it has now gone back to "no new messages" which is a bit annoying

My VNC still not working, nor if I set the Unread stream to "Since my last visit". I have to set it to within 1 day to see anything. This is on an iPad Air running iOS 10.3.3, Rich, if that helps, and accessing via a personal hotspot on an iPhone using Three.

I'm unable to reproduce this issue so it's possibly either session or cache related.

If you are using an iPad can you not clear your history to achieve the same thing. I don't know just guessing. :unsure:

:) Okay. I did wonder. :huh: 

Well actually, clearing history on an iPad does clear cookies too (I just checked) but it’s a bit of a blunt instrument. Better to go into website data and delete the cookies just from CWDF website so you don’t lose all your other websites’ auto-logins etc.

Should now be fixed

In regards to the VNC issues, is it possible to log out and back in again and see if the problem persists? If it still persists I recommend clearing the browser cache. I'm unable to reproduce this issue so it's possibly either session or cache related.

Logging out and logging back in again didn't help. If I have to clear the cache I will be seriously pissed – as has been said, that will scrub all the cookies from the iPad.

Later: tried logging out, doing some viewing not signed in, then signed in and VNC now appears to be working ?. Will have to let some time go by now before trying again, of course. Watch this space...

Well hopefully it is fixed. But no, you don’t have to delete all cookies, just the ones from CWDF. You do this by going Settings...Safari... Advanced...Website data. It takes a while to load and there will be a lot of cookies to scroll through (not alphabetical, unfortunately, but by size) but you can delete the data (ie cookies) for a specific website given a bit of time. Left swipe to delete once you’ve found it.

Edit: hmmm in my case, the data for CWDF was near the top at 9Mb, which seems a lot! Presumably the cache as well as the cookies.
