seemed to be a problem with AdBlock (even with it paused on STW) needed to be paused on all sites then "unpaused" (though still paused on STW)
I am still having random issues with pics not showing. Im doing all rhe right steps and the same each time but some times they just don't show. See the recovery ride thread for examples. Android phone using post images direct link with duck duck go

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.
+1 it was a revelation when this disappeared and now it's back - very disappointing. We all know we're on STW why waste the page space?
On Chrome my process for Chrome within Taskmanager doubles the RAM used for my computer, i have 11 windows open and when i use STW forum my ram goes from 800mb to 1500mb.... so 1 tab using 50% of my ram for chrome.... yes, this one....
Without the sliding banner there is nowhere to put the hamburger menu and profile link.
I also get "unsupported browser" when trying to use Firefox instead

Earlier on in this thread is another poster going "yay, it's back."
Guess in an ideal world it could be a profile option?

it's 2:1 against so he's wrong ;o) and yes it would be good to be an option - it was always a pain on the old forum - I don't see the "benefits" of the scrolling banner as benefits. If I want to to to profile or menu I got to the top of the page, it adds a second to the process but that banner just sitting there 100% of the time is always just taking up room (and I can't hide it at work)
An update. We are back at it squishing the inevitable bugs and paying attention to your submissions. The ads are behaving as I expected them to at this early stage. ie. there's legacy hangover from the way they were set up in the old theme and I'm working my way through those now. also, the ads system we use (Ezoic), uses a lot of AI to place ads on the page. This means not all the placement of ads is chosen by a human. The AI displays them and then learns which placements work and which don't. It takes in to account user experience - in fact I have control over the balance between user experience and revenue generation. It's currently in the default setting of 'Balanced'. It takes a couple of weeks after a big change like this to gather enough data to start optimising the placements. TLDR: Ads may show up in odd places in the next week or so. Please don't assume we've made a decision to put them there. It's probably the system 'learning'.
Oh, I approve of the new "you must be logged in" method.
I can't use the forum in Chrome. It's like there's an invisible ad over the new post box. Just now was typing something and moved the mouse to make a change, lost cursor, couldn't type. Clicked in the box and it popped open a new Chrome Tab "Subscribe" . Did it a couple of times before I switched to Edge to see if it was the same there. It isn't.
That's an odd one. It probably won't get picked up here but if you use the form at the start of this thread it will get logged in the system for a check up.
When do we get the search box back?
It's on the individual chat / bike indexes, just not the overview.
When do we get "favourites" back?
Another missing favourites. Are they gone again?
Reminder: If there's anything you are missing, wanting or a bug you've spotted, please use the form at the top of this thread to report it. All those submissions are being collated to give us a priority fix list.
I think I just spotted something. I tried to start a new forum topic but when I pressed submit it just disappeared. On re-doing it I *think* its because I didn't have a Forum selected (it defaults to "No forum").
You've fixed the "number of replies and units of time" merge on android - cheers.
All I would request is that when viewing the forum on a laptop (Chrome / W10) that a forum menu was prominent in the sliding banner, as it is on the phone.
So having used the new look on desktop (chrome w10) it looks good and seems to function fine. However the mobile view of the forum still has every thread taking 3 lines, so only 6 threads fit on a page, so it's "scroll scroll scroll" to scan down thread titles. It's quite annoying, and no better in landscape view. Chrome on Android.

Is it just me, or is there no forum search facility?
I can only see the main one at the top, which only returns articles from the main site.

Go into Bike or Chat and another search box is available. That's the one you want
Just to be clear. That’s a bug. Search is coming back in the overview forum.

I usually just scan the first couple of pages in Overview
I know I'm late to the party and no doubt this might have been asked earlier, but why do we have the forum indexes as have the chat / bikes and not bikes / chat? You know, just like they've been historically.
Is there a way to search the Forum? I can see the main site search.
The same way it's been suggested 17 times on this thread already including two posts before yours? 😁
^ best to use google and specify the site. For example if you want to search for the words frozen sausage type into the google search box
site:singletrackworld.com Frozen sausage
The video ads are killing my old iPad. Makes it super slow and had to write posts. Yes it’s this forum, no other sites cause this issue, and other forums / sites perform fine
Most browsers allow you to disable autoplay on videos.
OK @tomathy - what was happening with the weird "slogans" under the posts? Don't think I didn't see them, especially the one abour rather being naked than wear lycra! They reminded me of the spline text from the printed magazine.
They were/are indeed the spinelines from the last few issues.

And they're back!
Hamburger menu does nothing except turn the screen grey on Safari Version 15.6.1 (15613.3.9.1.16, 15613) on my Mac 🙁
Hamburger menu
On Windows I don't have a hamburger menu.
You will if you shrink the browser width below 1000px.
Safari 15.6.1 here and I'm not able to replicate that. Post it in the OP form and Tom will add it to the list
I'm running Catalina, which might be the issue. This is the most up to date update for that OS based on the recent breach.
Those Spline Texts are now ALL popping up on a screen refresh of the forum contents list. They flash up, then disappear leaving only one. As a result the screen contents are jumping around.

It might already have been said - but can you please make the giant "Singletrack" at the top of the page disappear when scrolling down? It's very visible from a distance in an open office, people might realise what's going on.
That's a contentious one. When we launched it wasn't fixed. There were a lot of voices asking for it back to help with navigation.
It's been mentioned several times on this thread, probably 50:50 between people wanting it gone and others glad it's back.
Can you have it so that it disappears when you scroll down and drops back in if you scroll up a little, perhaps? Or have it as a profile option? (FWIW I couldn't care less either way, personally)
I just noticed that my username now has capital letters.
Cool.
EDIT: Actually scratch that. It did display it with capitals on the Starling Marmite promoted thread. But not on this one. ???????
EDIT2: Hmmm, on the forum no capitals, on an article with comments below, capitals. More Gremlins.
Never mind, doesn’t really matter anyway.
That's presumably account name vs display name again. You can set the latter in your profile.
