WTF is going on with bimmerpost lately?

It's the new kidney grille's. They are so massive they are using up all the bandwidth.

I thought BMW's justification was to increase them for more airfl...I mean bandwidth!

Lots of stuff doesn’t work very well on my iPhone either, but they have a new iOS update, today I think, so that could be part of the problem.

I refuse to use my desktop. I sit on my porch all day with my iPad.

I posted a new thread early this morning and I finally saw it in the posts about 5:00. I thought a mod had deleted it.

The bmw owner’s website is wonky too, particularly on my phone. I’m still checking hourly for updates on my incoming car. Crazy as it seems. It’s been five weeks and it will be a hard habit to break.

I’m going to do the updates on my iPad and phone and maybe that will improve. But I think that, being the weekend, BMWs servers must be on a permanent coffee break.

i dunno nat, looks like you sent the same post three times in three minutes. was that you or was it BP?

Poiseuille · 06-05-2019, 12:01 PM

looks like my experience on BP is not nearly as spotty as others are reporting, but I am having difficulty attaching pictures. the attached pictures no longer appear with the post unless I completely exit the app, reenter and view the thread again. sometimes I have to do that twice, occasionally it doesn't work at all.
also I do occasionally have the problem where the app won't load at all, or closes itself for no apparent reason. thought there was something wrong with my Wi-Fi, but now I see that others are having the same issues.
I'm on iOS XS.

Aaaaaaand you broke bimmerpost. Funny how those things look smaller on the internet than in person. It's almost like looking at the sun, the sun just happens to be more visually pleasing.

You should've blamed your former female co-worker too.....

Captain Blood · 06-05-2019, 12:44 PM

I pay way to much monthly for access to this site to have these problems!

She's not "former" she's still here when she actually comes to work. She was out for the entire month of May. Her absence and my filling in for her is directly associated with my reduction of posts here for the past few weeks.

Probably best for most of you. Saved most of you from reading posts from a mindless bored person.

I haven't been able to attach pictures from my computer. Now it seems I can only post if I link from photobucket.

After you post with an attached picture and find the picture doesn't appear, try exiting the app and then re-entering and opening the thread again. I've been finding that after that, the pictures appear with a slight delay.
anyway, that's for iOS. PC hasn't been affected so far so unsure if the same process would apply for that.
