Forum menu
It now doesn't sit within the landscape view on my phone automatically, if opened in landscape, but needs sliding to the right so that you can see the sub-forum icons and thread title
It's fine in portrait and rotates from portrait to landscape accurately
Ah. The threads are no longer being sorted by "last post" order either.
That's because the 3 at the top are sticky. All posts below the stickies are in last post order.
😂 I should have paid attention to the "stickies are sticky again" bit.

Before I posted that I was about to post exactly what you did but I noticed the sticky icons just in time 😁
is members discounts broken, or do I just need to do what it says and email them?
We seem to have lost the All Topics Read button and the highlighting of unread topics in bold.
Android/Chrome
Moi aussi. Here we go again. The inevitable 'it was changed for your benefit tho it worked before and now doesn't. Stop mythering/can't see what the fuss is about etc'...🙄
Have done the daily morning thing of deleting cookies on the iPad to get it out of dark mode.
Is this going to get sorted ?
Hurrah! On the plus side I can post photos again, my cup runneth over with joy… It doesn’t take much.
Thank you.
All seems to have gone a bit rubbish again - got logged out, no mark all as read (STILL havent got a response on why we cant follow posts and get icon when on forum rather than having to subscribe and be inundated with emails).
Not great when trying to encourage people to invest - unless plan is to waste more time and money developing site to just make it worse!
Have you emailed tech or just posted on here? Not many responses on here.
Is it just me, or does clicking on a Title automatically taken you to the most recent post? I thought it would take me to the first post - it does, but then automatically jumps to Most Recent after a very short delay.
Only if I've visited the thread in the last couple of days...otherwise it just loads first post.
I normally access the site through my phone.
At best then finding posting history or starting a new thread is not that intuitive, but how the hell do I do it on a PC?
Is the idea to make it as hard as possible to reduce posts?
but how the hell do I do it on a PC?
You can only start a thread from either the bike forum or the chat forum, not the Latest page (which is what I usually default to). Bit weird.
Cheers thank you I did eventually find it after multiple clicks and head scratching.
Is there still a womens forum ?

I don't think that's particularly new, hasn't it been like it for months (probably longer?)
It indeed has been like that since the main update.
I now have light mode forced on my ipad but not on my iPhone. 🙂
....is even slower and laggier than ever.
At least it keeps me logged in most of the time, but when I open the site on my android phone there's about a 30-40 second delay before I can scroll down, and opening a post takes about 20 seconds.
Holy moley, its unusably slow.and laggy for me. Coming here from anywhere else on the internet it's like going back to dial-up. Seriously it's bad enough that I don't bother to check in often these days. I suspect I'm not alone so if this isn't resolved soon and things get back to being reasonably snappy I think the forum is in serious trouble.
Same for me, painfully slow and even when it looks like it's loaded, it hasn't as you go to open a thread and it opens something further up the page. I almost ration what I read because it's too slow to look at all the topics I might usually have browsed.
Speed is fine for me - on both Windows and Android - but I've almost given up on the place due to the constant re-introduction of faults and the lack of acknowledgment of them when reported. It's like bloody amateur hour and any "investor" should be considering how this team could handle anything beyond what they currently have to work with. TBH, if I was to write down what I really think I'd likely get a ban so I'm thinking I'll just not bother renewing my subscription and sack the whole thing off.
Oh my word this is so poor. I'm not having the problems re:dark mode but on my laptop I hav eto log in every time I try to access the site. On my android phone I stay logged in but seem to get the desktop version. It's so small I hav eto pinch/ zoom to use it. And I am paying for this. I'm a patient guy but someone is taking the Mick.
But hey, if I visit STW HQ I get a free coffee.
Mark and Co. This is REALLY frustrating and definitely not worth my subscription.
On your phone, have you somehow selected 'desktop site'?
Tap the 3 dots top right and scroll to the bottom of that list and make sure the option for desktop site isn't selected.
Heads up. Amazon Web Services is currently down this morning. We use AWS for some services like email from the site. This will likely cause issues for anyone resetting their passwords or for other things that involve an email notification from us. Hopefully it won’t be down for long.

+1 on this. I frequently give up waiting for forum pages to load these days. And posting, while better than it was, is still painful.
At least on the upside sticky posts now work on the main view. Good to see the PSA thread sitting at the top on the main forum page
How come the mobile index for the forum counts in 'replies', while everything else, including the desktop index counts in 'posts'?
A further side effect of stating 'replies' is it makes all the counts wrong because the OP isn't being subtracted. e.g. stating 'Replies: 1' when it is actually just the OP with zero replies.
I don't even bother looking at this site on a mobile. It just doesn't work.
Boom, we have a winner! 🏆 Thanks DickBarton 👍🏻
I have no recollection of selecting desktop mode but at least that's one less thing to moan about.
Now, is it possible to post pics anymore?
Pictures work but the eternal darkness, well, it’s eternal..
Have you cleared your stw cookies? Apparently it takes your system settings. So assuming you have light mode active on your device, then clearing the cookies on this site and logging back in should sort it.
Although, apparently dark mode uses less power than light mode, so if you are worried about the environment and climate change - dark mode can help a wee bit (apparently).
Thank you, I’ll try that again. I’m all for trying to protect the environment but not sure me staying in dark mode is going to help - taking account of the growing appetite among STW and it’s members for driving and flying to cycle!
Very true...every little bit helps and all that but suspect we need a huge effort given how much power and resources are needed for the likes of AI nowadays.
That was fixed last week
I tried to post a picture today on Android. It said "picture attached" but no picture.
Can someone post a definitive way of posting pictures? 
That was only MacBook.
This thread was supposed to collate all the problems into one thread. That’s only of any use if anyone is listening!!!
