Today, for most of the day, this Community Forum has been in “read only mode” on my iPad. It isn’t that way on my laptop. Did I do something wrong on my iPad ?
Clicking on the Log In button on my iPad just brings up a message: “Login is disabled while the site is in read only mode”.
Messages continue to appear on my iPad, and I can read them, I just can’t respond to anything. I can only read/write on my laptop. Am I the only one ?
Hi again,
I am sending this reply from my iPad.
I have the forum homepage saved as a favourite on mine and was able to log in without seeing that “Login is disabled…” message that you got.
I took a look in my Safari settings to see if I could spot anything there to suggest but couldn’t see any likely candidates, I’m afraid.
Sorry, I’m not being very helpful.
@alanh - thanks for the response. I am also typing this from my iPad which suddenly is now working again for Forum posts. Don’t know what occurred, but like you, I also saved the Forum to a favorite and have always linked into it from there. Always worke like a charm until today. Oh well, one less mystery now… Thanks again.
I tried browsing the forum from my laptop just before this “read-only” appeared, and it seemed that there was a problem on Discourse end since I ended up on a beautiful page telling me that Discourse couldn’t access the forum content and that a message was just sent to them to tell them there was a problem. It seems like the server was down for a few minutes. After that, when I tried reloading the page (still from my laptop), there was the same “read-only” message as the one you’re mentioning.
It was probably just that the server hosting this forum was down and that there was a “read-only” copy on another server to avoid leaving users with a “oops, the server crashed!” page.
