List of forum faults part 2

Stats on the Home page are also often delayed, initially showing zero "views" for several threads, or fewer than the true figure. After some time (but without refreshing the page manually), these then display correctly. Again, I've reported this by email, but just sharing here. 

I suspect that many of the newer issues that we're seeing - eg the erratic notifications indicator, post edits and/or new posts appearing / disappearing (when not due to moderation / filtering), thread stats being delayed - have a common technical cause, and so also have a common solution. Caching problems linked to use of Cloudflare would be my first guess, for those for whom that isn't gobbledygook.

I'm not personally surprised that a move to cloud-based hosting has come with a bunch of unforeseen complications. The good news is that we know that all of these issues are being investigated and worked on, so I feel that we just need to be patient, although I know that's much easier said than done when the issues are so disruptive and feel so frustrating.
