I've noticed that occasionally a post in a thread will "flicker" or "flash" at regular intervals.
When you load the thread for the first time the post in question is fine. After a few seconds, the flickering starts.
This seems to also affect the permalink, which turns to "0".
I have attached a video that shows the behavior.

For your awareness...
It happens rarely when someone edits their post. If you are the poster and it happens to you, edit the post a second time and save it.

Hi Mike
I had contacted Sam when you were away as I tried to edit this Wiki article
https://nexusfi.com/wiki/trading-wiki/NFP
It seems to be the only one where 'edit' is not possible. Sam couldn't edit it either and suggested I wait for you to get back.
Could you take a look when you have a minute?
Thanks

@Big Mike
I'm getting a lot of these today
Also the response times are abnormally long. Note this is intermittent.
Anyone else experiencing this?

This morning for the past 2:30 hours the server has been under extreme load due to a DDoS attack. I've mitigated it for now and everything should be back to normal.

Thanks SMCJB. Clearly I had not seen that. Is that where normally I should look problems up, do you know?

I think so. I think this thread was specific to the new forums/changeover but I'm sure @Big Mike monitors both.

This should be resolved now, there was an edit from you pending approval prior to when you became an Elite Member.

Big Mike monitors both.
The changelog is where Mike posts changes to the forum, as well as similar status-type messages.
This thread is for the new framework testing.
Both have been used for reporting technical issues back to him. The changelog is the one I couldn't remember the other day, so I used this one.
I'm not sure where @Big Mike would prefer such posts. Perhaps he will express a preference....

Changelog thread is better for problems and such. This thread should only be for new framework related items. Something that believe it or not is still on my short list...
