Random issues on forum (no Like/Quote/Reply/photos) - is it just me?
It doesn’t allow me to change my Signature. I go to “Save changes” and it just reverts back to the old Signature. On Android - Samsung browser.
drdre89 very odd…the mobile interface is slightly different though….,but you are right….massive bug, I will report it.

MediumRoastSteam Would it be better to have the avatar of the member who last replied rather than the OP? I tend to focus highly on the avatar, and this confuses me a bit when I read the reply and then realise it was not from the member I thought it was. So, on that thread with the arrows, personally, it would be better if it had my avatar (because I replied last) and mention “started by Doram X days ago, MediumRoastSteam replied one hour ago” or something like that.
I had not forgotten this and loaded a new extension, now you can clearly see the Avatar of the last person who replied more clearly and I hope, a clearer post layout/demarcation.

DavecUK - It’s looking a little weird :-)
Same behaviour on Chrome, Safari (MacOS) and Safari on iOS.
I’ve also tweaked the main page synopsis, you can see some images in there as well now, if they form the initial/only part of the post….This will also help any classifieds listing be more prominent as they usually start with a photo!
Hmm. The older interface was better on Mac Safari. Now the avatar covers the post title to some degree. Also, now there is some news feed at the top!
Mobile Safari:
I was playing with RSS feeds, I’ve disabled them again. I like the theme but the last avatar extension puts a big avatar there, inbstead of a littole one on the std theme…which is a real shame. Reverting back to the old theme and small last poster avatar.
It did, but the rest of the issues made it unusable, unless I disable the last posted avatar display.
I have been busy trying out an extension which I believe can help a few tag areas…classifieds is one. …and there is one other area where it might be useful. I’m just hoping the slow performance is maintenance based and not because of the extension I loaded!
Sadly every time I enable the discussion card extension, it causes real forum problems. A pity because it brought the classifieds to life with images and text in the post listings….without having to go into each post….real shame, I would have also used it in the what was delivered today thread 😢
Is anyone experiencing a blank screen ? This is the sample screen, I get when I access the site during the last few days. I will have to close, clear catche and try again. It’s on the mobile.
LMSC Let me know what happens, might be a rogue extension I installed recently, I hope not

DavecUK The first time was a couple of days back. But, I saw that yesterday again and almost every time today. I will access, sign in and see large blanks between two threads. I thought they were images. Refresh and re-load won’t work. Home page and back buttons greyed out. Normally, killing and re-opening will fix the problem.
Strangely, this issue is more, when I had opened the thread, read or posted and didn’t go back to the home page; accessing after a while is more likely to have this issue.
Thx
OK I think I know what might be happening, make sure your phone is NOT set to display the desktop version of the site.
If I purposely set my phone to display the desktop version on my mobile…I will get this.
I’m also experiencing similar blank screen issues as LMSC when accessing the forum from a Windows PC (with either Chrome or Edge)… this started around 24 hours ago.
Sometimes, refreshing the screen fixes it, but not always.
LMSC - yes. Twice today on desktop.
