On Wi-Fi I have been locked out for trying to access a file too many times that does not exist. Message from WP Defender. Works ok on 4g data but I can' get on to the forum from Wi-Fi.

What the hell is "engagements?"

What use is "replies created" when you can't see which topic the reply was created in?

Pretty sure it used to tell you who was the last to reply to the thread at the top of the page, it no longer does this either. Forum downgrade by the look of it.

Exactly. Really, it's really pretty lame.

EDIT: <span style="text-decoration: underline;">And it looks awful</span>

Your phone still has the old stylesheet cached. Try killing the browser app on your phone and relaunching it.

EDIT2: OK, it looks like underlining is broken. Was this actually tested at all?

It's [b]being[/b] tested 😆

Another FYI - you can't preview a new topic, but can preview a reply.

Worst forum update ever.

Who did you get to do it?

Apple?

Looks nice enough on my galaxy tab pro tablet (in portrait and landscape) now. Text is no longer massive/green.

Still some odd styling. The 'Favorite/Unfavorite' link is underlined in landscape mode not in portrait mode. That's  a very minor thing, but points to some random/inconsistent css styling.

Some people do, some don't.  I'm not sure why but it's definitely not a local issue, it's something to do with the user accounts.

I see those buttons. I don’t see any way to jump to the last post in a thread, should there be one? Also how can you jump to threads you’ve posted in? I can see my posts under “replies created” but can’t see any thread titles or links to go to the actual thread or post? Ta

 I don’t see any way to jump to the last post in a thread

Clicking on the Freshness link.

how can you jump to threads you’ve posted in?

I don't think you can as yet.

Clicking on the freshness in the topic view takes you to the last post in a thread.

Oh we know it’s disappointing but with us helping report broken parts will help get them sorted. Of all the things to bother me a few feature not working on here is way down the scale.

People bitching about stuff not working on a free forum clearly need to get some perspective. I'm not complaining at all just flagging stuff that is weird for me.

Ah, I see - it's on the right in desktop mode

edit: I also see that you need to do the quote thing manually and 'keep a log of this edit' is still default to on

Liking it though -hope you get to escape the chaos over the weekend

[i]... free forum[/i]

It's only a free forum for the freeloaders... Some of us help keep this place going by PAYING. Don't know if you're aware of this.

Thing that's bugging me, is some of the stuff that's been lost was useful and the bits in place are just rubbish! Like, without customisations, why are they like that anyway? Here some examples:

Freshness: Formerly, you hovered the mouse over the Freshness time and it showed you the last poster, so you could see if someone's replied. Now, it shows the name of the thread, which is bleeding obvious cos it's just over to the left.

Activity: One click showed you your threads you've been involved in. Now, takes about 4 clicks to get to Engagements, which is just a random list! Some of which you might have posted in.

Not moaning or complaining, just hoping things like this get fixed really.

^^^ this has been amusing the hell out of a few of us. How about just scrolling past what you don’t want to read

Loss of ability to see which threads you’ve posted in is a big loss

<span style="angy">

You can no longer find your replies (used to be in "forum activity") instead there's "Forum Replies Created" which just has a list of replies and <span style="text-decoration: underline;">no way to get back to the original thread!!!</span>

Even more remarkably, there's a "reply" link, which does nothing. And a "report" button that, well, maybe it does something, maybe it doesn't. It no longer brings up the little report dialog box.

It's completely shambolic.

It makes even Brexit look good.

"Some of us help keep this place going by PAYING."

All of us keep it going by providing free content, page imprints etc for advertising revenue.

Ooooohhhh!!! How very exciting! Squabbling over who pays and who isn't and who is more valuable! I'm on a series catch up binge of GoT at the mo and this 'I'm more important than yow' behaviour and attitude is disturbingly like that.

Its a shame the update doesn't have a way of removing members...

FFS grow up.

Post and page count on chat forum post page isn't keeping up with reality either. My previous post was number 601, page16 but the main page was indicating 598 posts in total and page 15.

Safari on iOS 10.3.3

And page reload after posting this took me back to the previous page.
