The issue could be at my end — but I’m not having the same problem on any other sites atm — is anyone else experiencing slowness/connectivity issues on Strawman past couple of days?

Yes @PabloEskyBruh I certainly am - and I emailed Andrew directly about it about an hour ago, with a follow up email to highlight that the site is saying my recent valuation update for GOR has been deleted when it hasn't been, it's still right there is the news thread. The slow response time started just after midnight last night for me, and has been patchy since then - sometimes normal and sometimes very slow. It is the only site I am experiencing trouble with also, and changing browsers didn't help last night, so it appears to be at the site's end, not at our end. Any patches or changes implemented last night @Strawman ?

P.S. Oh and some votes have been going missing also - like I get notification of upvotes but they aren't added to the straw. Some weird stuff happening here today.

No changes made at our end, but we'll definitely take a closer look.

Definitely a slow response issue. 2 separate devices, different browsers, different WiFi connections. In regional Victoria on Starlink.

Definitely slow response. I’m not in Australia so it’s not the internet connection!

AUG - Augustus Minerals is not on Strawman. I saw another post like this. AUG is a tiddler and listed back in May 2023.

Do you need a more automated way to track additions, removals and code changes?

The full ASX list is available here: https://www.asx.com.au/asx/research/ASXListedCompanies.csv

I could easily code up a comparison and email you the differences if the Strawman list was available somewhere. API perhaps?

Notifications still causing trouble.

I'm getting notifications for companies that I don't follow. IPD Group and PPE below are examples.

Also, the links for most of these "x new forum post for y" don't go to the company forum at all.

I'm going to mark all notifications as read to see if I can clear the issue.

Apologies for this @PinchOfSalt -- i'll let the devs know.

Re the ASX list, we actually use that ASX link as our source of truth, but sometimes things get missed. I've now added ASX:AUG.

Sorry for the slow reply here @PinchOfSalt

ASX:TNC has been added.

I spoke with my dev and he actually has some code that compares the ASX list with our internal list and syncs it. This issue lies more with our good friends at S&P who don't seem to know what companies they provide data for (!!) -- so when we use the ASX list to request price data, it will sometimes be missing. Which means I need to nudge them politely to get it sorted.. It is, to put it mildly, frustrating..

So definitely appreciate your kind offer, but it's not the source of these occasional issues.

Actually, in regard to the issue mentioned above @PinchOfSalt -- we have fixed it, but it was not a bug per se.

It was possible to get notifications about companies that you don't follow (eg if someone you follow posts content about the company). The confusion comes because we group notifications together, so if two different followed members post about the same company, we bundle the two notifications into a "2 posts for company X" style group.

In a new update, just deployed now, the system no longer groups notifications for companies that aren't followed. So this confusing situation won't arise any more, the notifications will be listed individually with the author clearly visible.

That issue where you saw the raw HTML has also been fixed.

Also, I have added ASX:AUG

Thanks again for letting us know. Systems management requires eternal vigilance, so this feedback really helps.
