Yup, the formatting is buggered for me too, same thing as a couple of weeks ago. Corrects itself if the page is reloaded. Android Chrome
The formatting issues only occur for me when I am logged in, it seems to work fine when I log out
All forum is now about twice the width it should be..can't see post without swiping from one side to the other.... Android pixel 8a
Same problem on my iPhone!
And for me also on android
Just arrived to post the same as above
Just came here to say similar - but it's only some posts (the PSA one, and the one about taking a SRAM t-type derailleur apart) that are too wide to show on my phone screen (Google pixel 8)
I just had a look at those two threads and, yes, I get the same problem. With the PSA thread, it's only the current page. I guess it'll resolve itself when the page is full and another is added.
It's actually got worse for me now. Reloading the page did correct the formatting issue, it doesn't any more. Proper screwed 🥴
But logging out still works though! If I logout everything works just fine and there are no formatting issues, but as soon as I login It's buggered.
An obvious solution presents itself. 😁
Yes the PSA thread looks off to me too!
i used to code a lot of emails for a living - this 'forcing desktop mode' malarkey used to happen when something (like a picture - I'm wondering if it's an ad that's outside STW's control) is too big for its containing element and breaks the layout.
Posts are flowing off the side of the screen again on an iPhone mini.
There’s also another thing…
Yeah, there's a large black box / empty screen at the top of each post or post list on my Android too.
The 'likes' are a bit random. Sometimes, it shows me liking a reply almost (within 5 seconds) instantly. Other times, it hangs for ages without appearing to do anything, so I scroll down and read more replies, then go back up, sometimes to find my 'like' had been registered, sometimes not.
Horrendous issues with reloading mid writing posts and nothing happening when you hit add reply - perhaps on post where you use the quote button but not 100% of the time! IOS17.x and Chrome and Safari both affected - gut feel chrome worse for the page reload issue.
The ads (which I'm paying not to see 🙄 ) are now trying to sell me a TNT sports subscription...
I'm guessing that the ad thing for members on mobile isn't going to get sorted.

It's not affecting me (Chrome on Android, and Firefox on Windows 11) seems strange to affect some members but not others
Anyone else being logged out for no apparent reason?
Android/Brave/Full Member and yes I do check the box to remember my login details....

By default Brave tends to err on the side of security and privacy, are you sure it's not automatically clearing the login cookies periodically?
Dunno...I've been using Brave for several years and I haven't (knowingly) changed any settings. 🤷
I am now getting the weird sizing / formatting isdues where some thread are either in tiny fonts or you only see 1/3 of the width of them on screen.
Tyoeface is small enough at the best of times
Its really difficult to use the forum now. Its certainly worse for me now than before the revamp
Does seem pointless now commenting on bugs and faults now, no one comes back to update on them.
The less and less time spent on due to issues on here makes me rethink my membership
I access the site on a mobile 95% of the time and the page formatting is awful. It zooms in randomly, and trying to navigate the forums and threads is tedious at best. Going into a thread shows statistics at the top taking up half the screen and the first post is not even visible until you scroll down - twice in my case. Swapping between forums is time consuming as well for no apparent reason. The old way where they were listed at the top/bottom of the page was much better along with a button to go to the top (instead of much scrolling) was very useful. The performance is no better than right before the migration when a rogue plugin was discovered to be causing all the massive slowness and was subsequently disabled.
Some of the formatting is to do with the Reverb advert, you can see the overlay but not do anything about it when using software that's not allowed to be talked about.
The Ukraine thread fills the width of my phone screen (and a bit) even in landscape view. None of the others do this
There's also a stupidly large square with an arrow in that takes up most of the phone portrait view width at the bottom of every thread
I now have tiny unreadable font on every post i have opened

Weird that, I thought everything had gone back to normal the last couple of days but I have just checked the Ukraine thread and that's still buggered for me.
Everything else seems fine though. Android Chrome

Same here on my phone. It's basically unusable. (Android and Chrome)
This is what it looks like for me.
Basically, all is well. That's Android/Chrome, all standard/default font settings.
Basically, all is well.
Except for the horrible dark background! Or did you choose bedtime/battery saver mode?
Looks like they've enabled dark mode somewhere. This is my equivalent of the same posts in non-dark mode (android, chrome)
Further advert creep now for paid up members, as well as the Saracen banner. Under the guise of "subscriber deals" this time. ☹️
Stick it on the member discounts page if that's what it is. If it's a pop-up on the main screen, it's an advert, plain and simple.
Further to my post above, the coffee pop-up seems to have gone. Thank you.
Dark Mode? I have it on at all times.
And we now have a thumbs down button!

Tried to resist but failed, sorry
OMG BRO REEL H8 LIKES DUUUUUUUUUDEEEEEEEEE LIT
But I can't hate my own post 😭

It’s based on your browser settings I believe.
Thumbs down would open a whole new can of worms.
The layout should be better now on mobile and I've added a quick and dirty shotcuts menu at the top and bottom to replace the hamburger menu.

Observation , not a complaint. Can you place the bottom one right after the last post please?
Can't do that easily right now. It's kind of a..
top menu
Forum
Bottom menu
...thing on the page right now, but there are probably better ways to do it next week.
