wrt the link/android/keyboard issue - moto g5, android 7.0, google keyboard. about as stock as it gets without being a google phone.
Noted. Cheers all.
Well I just clicked on page 108 and landed on page 104.....
108?
Post time traveler?
I'm liking the new page header:

I'm getting about 10 screens of random characters at the top of each page. Lots of black diamonds with question marks. Looks pretty, but I'm sure it's not what was intended..
Blackhawk down...?
I'm logged back in! Yay!
Thanks chaps. Have a drink on me.
Hitting the link to clear cookies, closing Chrome down and restarting the phone finally did it for me.

funnily enough I had no issues with my iPad, which didn’t help as ive been in France all weekend without it.
Loving the new smaller font on the main forum page, then opening up a thread the font is much bigger.
Not a moan, it’s a compliment.. 👍
Found a glitch - on iPad, when you post a pic, then select it, so you can edit/resize it, you can’t type in any of the boxes except the url one. I wanted to put a number in the size box and couldn’t.
Also, are we getting the last poster in thread thing back anytime soon, now that the migration to cloud is done? The replies created substitute is quite shit, you must admit.
I'm amazed that they still can't spell favourite correctly.
Well I see that this forums returning back to its 2006 build of childish Next pop ups on every page you scroll through, then you have to click the X to get rid of it.
So, having hit the X four times to find this thread I’d like to know how many page impressions your advertising trackers are passing back to ad agency please.
Its looking more like Lings PCP website every day, and clearly the Devs are 11 yrs old an think pop ups are “cool”
Has the favorite function to bookmark a thread ever worked since the update? Because it doesn't, and its annoying.
No, and it's on the list.
Not logged in in a while but tried yesterday and again today. Obviously i succeeded but it takes several stabs each time. My user name and password are the same but that Recaptcha 'feature' is a ballache and despite giving me the green tick of acceptance, it then informs me i'm unable to join in the frollicks. I was about to purchase 10,000 P's and 1,000 magazines but wont bother now. I'll be giving my monies to Lance and Specialized instead 😛
Being a P and just wanting the simple functionality of the forum itself, apart from a few minor quirks, it's not bad.
Ability to hover and see 'last posted by' over the end of a thread, would be nice
on mobile view, ability to go easily to last actual post, not just last page, that would be nice too
search that works.
Ability to find your own posts, not just your own threads.
None of the above for me are deal breakers though, just things i'd like to see that we used to have.
has mark popped in to update since I last asked the question somewhere about page 90 or something?
not fixing the insert link jumping around on mobile site?

Agreed!
Keep asking for them people!
search that works.
Doesn't it?
Search works for me (Chrome on Ubuntu 16.04 desktop), searched for "JennRide" as an older thread and "Cruise control" for a new one and both searches returned the relevant thread as the first hit.
Getting different search results Mobile (android/Chrome) and windows Chrome
Search term "Infinity War" mobile searches articles and STW publications, Desktop searches forum with google ads in there
Any other updates on the list you took to STW?
So, the "Replies created" page has been fiddled with? What a mess! What's the point of the [size=22][b]Reply to:[/b][/size] ??
It's just to prove that nobody is reading the feedback and insisting on reinventing stuff, same as the search thing above its almost like somebody wants to prove they are not testing across platforms
Hmm, just come across the log-in/cookies problem. My two weeks was up, logged back in, made the post four above this one, did a bit of looking around, came back and I was logged out and had to clear cookies again.
Same here - just logged me out, wouldn't let me log back in at all until I had gone into Chrome settings, deleted all the 15 STW cookies, quit from Chrome, restarted Chrome. There may be a few more users doing that over the next few days (or not bothering) as everyone who thought they'd sorted your log-in issue first time around is thrown out again.
Unless that was the user experience you were pitching for every few weeks or so...
Oh, mine has just gone pear shaped.
Logged out and on Chrome when i get the Captcha it doesn't open the window to tick the boxes with cars in... I assume Chrome is stopping the pop-up or my work laptop is... one or the other.
I've logged in with Firefox OK, but can't with my usual Chrome browser.
Can't log in from my phone. The Craptcha thing isn't working.
Out of interest, why do you need the Captcha thing for existing users trying to log in? I can understand it to stop bots trying to set up new accounts, but I don't get it for the rest of us punters.
I'd put money on there being no answer to that question.
Android paranoia innit.
Mark is terrified of robots. He believes there's a global conspiracy to take over STW with artificial people.
Little does he realise that Chipps is actually named after his primary component

🙂 Well played.
The Captcha addition is an annoyance as was the message about cookies on my stock Fire HD tablet yesterday and not allowing me to follow a link to Amazon.
Chipmunks?
Fried potatoes?
I've not yet seen the Captcha, or the cookie message, but it sounds like STW trying to protect our accounts, and inform us about tracking and data capture… which is exactly what they should be doing.
which is exactly what they should be doing.
Once it's been properly tested and checked to make sure it works on at least the majority platforms...

It really doesn't, it makes it appear that they don't know about these things so are throwing random things at it just in case it does any good. Anyway, seems the captcha has gone now which is just as well as I'd given up trying to use the forum on my phone - it's hard enough to work out what Google reckons is a road sign/store front/car on a big screen when you can see the picture; on a phone screen it was hopeless. Surprised this didn't come up when it was tested on small screens...
still can't log in though.... Please don't tell me i need to mess about and log out all my accounts from various forums again !
Phone still not having it.
Fine on iPhone and Mac..
I did the cookie clearing and restart of device as per the 'our forum' topic.... Still no good for me... Still can't log in on Chrome.

I think we have established the STW test environment then...
