Adding members to on premises VSTS web page just loads forever - azure-devops

I'm using an on premises VSTS server. I'm the owner.
My problem is very simple. I have created a project and set up Git version control on that project. It works beautifully. However, when I go to Add users on the main project page, a loading spinner appears that just loads forever (like, say, 10 minutes). Equally, if I go to the users tab, which would be another way to add them, I believe, it just infinitely loads again.
Tried Chrome and IE9. Tried logging in and out. Tried on multiple days, multiple times. I really can't think of anything else to try. I can't find anyone on the internet with the same problem.
Any suggestions gratefully received.

Deployments dissappear after a couple of hours. Cirlce Ci, Nuxt, Dream Host

I just started working on a project that was created with Nuxt and a CI pipeline using Cirlce CI that detects changes in the repository and upload files via SFTP to DreamHost.
We also have a netlify cms setup that sends .md files to the repository that are read and displayed on the page.
Now to the weird part.
Whenever I change something in the repository (push from my local repo, or use the cms) the changes appear on the site as they should. They correctly trigger a rebuild within circle.ci, which completes successfully and when I look at the live site they are present.
However when checking back a couple hours later they have dissapeared. The changes are still present in the github repository, but they are inconsistent with the state of the live page which has reverted to its previous state.
I can manually trigger rebuilds within circle.ci but the same thing occurs, i can see the changes for some time, then they dissapear.
I don't even know where to start looking for the problemect.
Any leads, or well aimed shots in the dark would be greatly appreciated, many thanks!
Edit.
I think this might be relevant: Every 12 hours we trigger a rebuild on the page, mostly to check for outdated content and deliver freshly rendered pages. When i checked the site index under the _nuxt pages, i see the following:
There are older versions of the scripts that are correct and new versions that are incorrect, those new versions are then referenced, resulting in the content being false.
Why are the automatic rebuilds 'overwriting' the old build?
Where can i find out more about those triggers?
OP's issue was mainly coming from the fact that the app was pulling from the wrong branch.
Fixing that one, did it.

Release pipelines not visible on Azure DevOps page

I can view all features except Release pipelines which is showing empty screen for me as shown below. I have tried different browsers such as Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge, both showing empty screen. I have verified that I have full access permissions and Visual Studio subscription also. Let me know if you ever faced such issue and a solution for this. Thanks.
You could troubleshoot this issue by checking following steps.
Go to Organization Settings>>Users page to check if your access level, make sure that you are not StakeHolder.
Go to this Project Settings>>Permissions>>Users tab to find you, and check which groups that you belong to. Usually members of Contributors group can freely access to releases page.
Check if others in the same group have the same issue, or just you have this issue.
Try this in other computers to check if there are some plugins or extensions which cause this issue.
If you are behind firewall or proxy, please check if the requests are blocked. You could click F12 to check the browser network requests.
BTW, we find that there are service events, which might causes this issue, you could monitor it.

Issue with Query tile widget

I use Query Result tiles in my dashboard to help teammates on multiple projects to quickly view the work that is assigned to them. We used to be able to click on a given task to open the detailed description of said task but now it no longer works. The tile only shows the associated user story and is no longer linking to the detailed view screen.
I have checked the queries used (simple work items and direct link query that shows all tasks assigned to a given user and its associated User Story) and reviewed the latest updates to Azure Devops but I can't find any changes that could affect the expected results.
Sorry about this issue you meet. This is caused by our server. There are some mistake occurred on our side, so that the work item which displayed on dashboards could not be clickable successfully now.
You can follow this ticket which report on Developer Community.
The fixed release has been deployed now, but haven't cover all regions. It may take some time to finish that. Please wait for this fix deploy finished. And if you still have this issue recently, you can vote and comment on Develop Community.

Is there any way to build a GitHub page automatically, when a new issue comes, without third-party server?

Well, I know this requirement sounds a little bit strange, but we, our team, want to build a website for the issue tracker of the repository.
The basic idea is:
for every issue, suppose that we have a page connected to the issue;
on the page, there will be a comment system, which is connected to the issue
posting comment on the page will actual become a comment to the issue
comments on the issue will be loaded on the page, when the page is opened by browsers.
That is to say, if we have pages connected to issues, respectively, for every specific pair of page and issue, comments on page and issue are equivalent. This is what we have done.
Now, the problem is how to deal with posting new issue. As you could see, the simple system depends on the connection between pages and issues. Hence, in the following situations, a page should be build and set automatically and correctly:
someone posts a new issue from the GitHub issue tracker;
someone posts a new issue from the website, and the issue has already been synchronized to the GitHub issue tracker (yes, this is what we have implemented).
We hope that this kind of task could be handled without any third-party server, which means that we do not want to run a new service on any other server host.
Any hints or clues will be appreciated.

github web Repository blocks with : Fetching latest commit…

While I was editing README.md in one of my repositories, the process blocked somehow.
Since then, when I access that repository, status stays in 'Fetching latest commit… ' and I am not able to upload any files or edit them on the web.
The other repositories work. I do not have this repository on my computer (i have the files obviously), and the system does not allow me to clone it, not even delete it.
What can I do to regain access?
THOUGH DEFINITELY it does not the answer your question, but I want to post a solution for whom have the same problem but because of different reason.
For Forecomers having the issue
I had the same issue(just reached this question by googling), and I remembered disabling the javascript of my browser. Why don't you enable the javascript of your browser and refreshing the page? In my case the problem was solved after enabling javascript.
