I like it. I especially like the fact that paging up or down on a laptop doesn't require a tap up or down on the arrow keys to get the page back to where it should've paged up or down to in the first place. Good job, well done!
Why is the [closed] thread "Just a test, please ignore" in the sticky area in Chat?
It’s now just about usable on my out of date ipod, on my up to date iPhone it crashes and reloads the page less and you can scroll to the bottom without having to constantly refresh to actually fill the page with the missing content so i guess you could call it an improvement.
Voyager 1 is easier to keep running than this site 😉
Looks like the private message indicator has gone missing. Also no link to messages on the profile menu.
Randomly dark mode works on mobile but not on PC.

I came here to say that too - link in email notification works, although the Messages tab entry is still there for me in Profile. As you say though, no indication of a new message anywhere.
Messages is still there in profile but not in the account icon menu (top right).
I seem to have to go into incognito mode in order to post this message. Once logged in, i seem unable to click on links/type in messages....
often the page is responsive, but I'm unable to click on links.
it seems to think I'm running a adblocker on the site, (its paused for single-track)
Should the highlighted cell in [overview | chat | bike | members | news] reflect which index you're looking at? It doesn't, it sticks on Overview.
That’s not the information I want if I click on that bubble 🙂
It's been like that forever. (and yes, it's it's as pointless as a pool ball)
The questionnaire on this thread's opening post is invisible unless you are logged in. This may be deliberate ?
ooh, the header bit (dunno what the proper term for that is) stays on top now so I can just go up and click on the forum bit. Nice improvement.
Oh, and regards my post up there, I thought it was silly/funny and in no way intended it to come across as moany as it does on reflection.
Trying to browse on my iPad. Not filling the screen properly.
Looks like you aren't logged in?
Inspired by another thread, I've just noticed, Page Up and Page Down scroll the page accurately. That's been a mild irritant forever.
The smooth scroll however is annoyingly slow.
Just realised I'd posted mainly negative feedback. To add some positive the header and hamburger menu are much improved. Speed seems good so far as well.
If you're on the overview, then that is highlighted in the "lozenge" menu. If however you select one of the specific sections, all of Bike/Chat/Members/News gets the highlight.
Also, I miss the frontpage articles having their own icon, now they just look like chat section topics.
Everything seems to have been quicker and more reliable since the upgrade. 👍
@Cougar
Just checked definitely logged in. Bit frustrating but I'm sure the forum gods will fix it.
Apart from that I'm ok ish with everything else.
I can't find the forum search on my phone (android and chrome). Can only search articles.
I may we'll be I've missed something despite having my specs on.

Why was there an advert across the bottom then? 😁
How is it in portrait?
The classifieds are pretty hopeless for non-members. Between the huge header and smaller footer you get to see just 2 classified ads (1 when you come another ad. in the listings).

I have an ad at the bottom of every page too. For Ezoic.
No idea why an advert is there 🤷♂️. Maybe I wasn't logged in after all.
Portrait is ok but I don't want the forum to dictate how I use the iPad.

Sure, I was just curious as much as anything. The issue here then is that the desktop version of the site isn't rendering correctly on Safari for iOS. You can see the two different site views in your screenshots.
Whether the forum presents the desktop or the mobile site is decided on browser width, IIRC the threshold is 1000px. (You can see this in action on a regular computer if you resize the browser, beyond a certain point it'll suddenly switch.)
Weird that it's switching as you change orientation, unless it's a 10 year old iPad Mini. 🤷♂️ Maybe there's something else I'm unaware of which also triggers the switch.
Yea not to worry Cougar.
iPad is a few years old (iPad air 2 I think) but every other site I use is fine. Just a bit strange it's only stw that isn't showing correctly, and it was working fine before the 2 tone update.
I'll check to see if there's an update for iOS I'v missed.
I'm sure it will get sorted then I can enjoy full screen stw
I'd be checking for updates also.
A quick google would suggest that the highest OS is 15.x and that it will be unsupported as of next month.
Ah crap. Can't afford a new one ☹️
Can you trade in for a newER one perhaps?
Wife has a new one. Could steal hers 😎
The ad's in classifieds are waaaaay to intrusive. I can't see the ad's
Just had the "sorry, are you sure you wanted to do that?" error.
I think it's because I'd opened the page, then on a separate tab I'd been logged out so logged back in. Ie, I'd had a logout and login between opening the page and posting. Something something session cookies something?
I think new look is an improvement on mobile. Less clicks to get places such as profile.
I don't know if you now see if you have a message when on mobile as the old layout I was only alerted if I logged in on a desktop. On mobile I had to actively check.
Is there a search function in the forum?
The issue here then is that the desktop version of the site isn’t rendering correctly on Safari for iOS.
Desktop rendering on iOS should be an option for the user on their device, the site should display a phone friendly page version as a default (same for Android). Looks like the dynamic formatting is off and everyone is getting a mobile device topic list rather than desktop users getting a page with everything on one line for each topic.
I like a good moan about websites.................... nowt to say... well done

Mark explained this earlier. The two-line topic list is intentional to allow space for additional features 'coming soon'.
Is there a search function in the forum?
Think it was picked up earlier in this thread but you only seem to get the Forum search function in either the Chat or Bike sections, not on the Overview one, would be good to have there too.
Oh no, the giant sliding Singletrack header is back. For a few days there it was much easier to read at work without everyone knowing how I was wasting my time.
as has already been mentioned, the lack of search function is disappointing, I dont care if there is one in each of the forums I want one in the overview and the double line nonsense is just a waste of space. It was better before.
I hope the issue I have with all the links not working at random intervals is sorted soon.
I'm happy as long as I don't get any more of those friggin' ads that kept popping up across whatever topic I was trying to read. They were peeing me off so much that I was on the point of jacking the site in.
I now have to log in twice each time I access the site.
First attempt I get the message “ An error has been encountered. Probably page was cached. Please try again.”
Second attempt works fine.
This is happening on my iMac and iPad.
the site doesn't work for me in Edge windows 10 (this is posted from chrome) every link is dead (though they come back for a microsecond with refresh).
