I was browsing the “NL” summits listing and clicking various summit names pick out a future activation. Every summit I tried flashed a quick (less than 1 second) “invalid summit” warning before showing the summit details. Some are major peaks with many activations, so I suspect this is just a programming bug rather than a legitimate message. But, I also wonder if this might mask a few summits that have actually been declared invalid. Of course, I might be missing something 
Does anyone have advice about this?
Thanks,

By “NL” summits, do you mean PA = The Netherlands?
W1/NL I guess. But it’s the same for all summits. It’s how the display gets updated.
Right, W1/NL.
Any hints on what browser you are using? It’s likely that either the response from the API server is taking a while to process, either due to slow internet or a slow CPU.
I am seeing the same message very briefly.

I use Chrome on a fast PC, and get the message when using a 5G connection.
I can live with the message as long as I know it’s OK to ignore it. But the warning does evoke a big “huh?” from me when it pops up.

I’ve tried reproducing this on recent FF and Chrome, and I can’t even see a flicker. Looking at the code, absolutely nothing should be displayed before a valid response is received.
What version of Chrome are you using?
OK, so I looked at this again and I think I can see a potential race condition, but only when accessing a summit via the region list - going to a summit directly would not show the invalid summit message. I’ve pushed a quick change and hopefully that fixes it.

Nice work Andrew. That fixed it! I opened a bunch of summits and none displayed the warning.
