• This is a political forum that is non-biased/non-partisan and treats every person's position on topics equally. This debate forum is not aligned to any political party. In today's politics, many ideas are split between and even within all the political parties. Often we find ourselves agreeing on one platform but some topics break our mold. We are here to discuss them in a civil political debate. If this is your first visit to our political forums, be sure to check out the RULES.

We've successfully upgraded our forum software and enhanced search to the latest versions even though it took a little longer than expected. There are some new features we will be testing out and we will make announcements as those are implemented. We are currently optimizing our 400,000+ photos and this should complete later today. This may present a temporary issue with images not loading properly or slowly.

A feedback thread has been posted where any issues that you may be having can be addressed.


Thank you for your patience and we are glad to be back up and running.
 
You may notice images may not load in order. This is called 'lazy loading' and should reduce load on the server.

All images should eventually popup.
 
Thank you!

Excellent.

Faster response times may reduce some of the incidences of multiple coincident "same news" thread-starting, in Breaking News! (y)

The blue background is pretty nice, but the site still seems to be loading very slowly on my Apple iPad somehow.

It seems the site is a bit faster when I am logged-in, than logged-out.

But even when logged-in, sometimes it doesn't load or the pictures don't show up and I need to re-load the page, after which it takes 10 seconds to load the page ... 🤷🏼‍♂️

Wow!

Don't know if the 3.0 (Shades of Blue) scheme was previously available, but it is pretty freakin' awesome!

I've been using the Shades of Blue for a looong time here, love it! Will check out the new features here soon.
