Re: Technical Issues
My banners and avatar are finally gone now too. Not sure why it took longer, but we're going to migrate them. It just may take time because it's Alex's account so he has to move them over. Sorry guys!

Re: Technical Issues
Heads up guys, the ISO button is missing until I can get in and fix the coding for this new theme. I deactivated and uninstalled carbon and the black and green since this is our permanent style. The goal is in the next couple days I hope to have the header installed and the ISO button returned. I appreciate your patience.
Regarding the problem with the ppp, I suspect that this is a glitch between the old version and the new, most likely something left over that just didn't translate. I'm going to look for a new extension to allow for us to set ppp again. Hopefully that will deal with the problem.

Re: Technical Issues
Anyone else have trouble viewing the website using Chrome? It looks fine on this computer using firefox. But Alex started using Chrome and it looks really effed up... has it been this way for anyone else?

You know when you're on your phone and get linki you can't read it. Is that normal or is that just me?

Re: Technical Issues
It's not just you, but it's a glitch associated with the mobile view for our theme we have installed. I don't as of yet have the skills to locate the problem code and fix it. However, if you scroll down past your post that got caught in linki, you should find the recent posts there.

Re: Technical Issues
Okay, shoot me to the right place if I am not in it.
My.. forum looks really odd. Like There is a huuuuuuuuuuuuuge black banner on the right hand side. I am aware I have not been here for a minute but I tried the settings and went to board preferences. I noticed the width button but nothing I did made the forum get any bigger.
Help?![help :help:](./images/smilies/smiley6953.gif)

Re: Technical Issues
It does that if you're zoomed out in chrome. Press Ctrl + scroll in or out to see what % zoom you're in.

Re: Technical Issues
Holy crap. Okay, but to get rid of it I have to make this so big I can only see one post at a time.
So I have to choose between annoying black band and easy reading or no black band and less easy.
Thanks. I will ponder. It is nice and large font for my old eyeballs now LOL

Re: Technical Issues
Huh and changing the width in UCP didn't fix it? Do you have a really huge monitor?

Re: Technical Issues
Ok, having looked at your settings it wasn't quite set to the maximum width. What I see is not at all what your screenshot shows, so I am thinking it may have something to do with the browser you are using or it's settings, or perhaps the settings on the monitor. Let me know once you sign in if the change I made in your settings fixed it. If not, it's probably not to do with the site itself but something with your monitor or browser.

Re: Technical Issues
The good news is it is better. When I unzoomed to get it back to normal looking, the black band is still on the side but muuuuch thinner. I can manage that. Thanks everyone, and especially Daisy! ![Wink ;)](./images/smilies/wink.gif)

Re: Technical Issues
I also have a bar, and I thought my header banner was wonky, but it's that the banner is centred on the page, and the content is fixed-wdth and left-aligned.

Re: Technical Issues
Problem with mobile usage of the Syndicate website, is that zoom in/out function right side of the page disappears into black void when zoomed out leavin left side syndicate profile functions sided to the far left.
tried power on/off mobile devices & still glitches, happened to my other electronic device as well. How to fix? it's rather irritable adjusting the screen constantly & usuing letter keyboard to comment slides the entire page downwards rather being stable. usuing a normal android web browser, however tried with chrome & had the same issue as well.

Re: Technical Issues
It might be whatever Marmot was looking into with the centering issue. I'll talk to him and see if he has changed something that might affect the mobile view.

Re: Technical Issues
My portrait view on mobile has a large banner down the right hand side and everything is squished over to the left. It wasn't like that before.

Re: Technical Issues
When I first get on the portrait view fills up the screen though I can't get over to the far right hand side where you can see the topic and who posted last (thats always been that way). Then I turn to landscape which is fine and when I come back to portrait it is all smashed on the left hand side again. I can zoom out though and it looks normal again so I guess its got something to do with the zoom.Spacedaisy wrote: ↑Tue Feb 13, 2018 1:23 am @juliets @lapluie How is the mobile interface looking for you guys currently?

Re: Technical Issues
I think I figured how to fix this by accident. If you're an android user and browsing through chrome, just double tap on the screen!

Re: Technical Issues
Actually I can send a PM if I am replying to someone. But I cannot add recipients manually. So for example if I am playing a game with two hosts and I want to talk to one, all I gotta do is reply to a message from them. But if I need to send the PM to both hosts, it's impossible on phone because it logs out when I try to add a new recipient.

I've been noticing the past couple days that I'll be logged out after having logged in, usually if I navigate back to the main index. If I refresh the browser (Chrome) I go back to being logged in. Not sure if it is something on my end or not, and not a big nuisance, but kind of strange.

Re: Technical Issues
It does that on my phone too, but you're not really logged in. It's something weird with cookies on the phone, but if you clear your cache then it doesn't appear that way. If you try to reply it'll ask you to sign in (I think you're kind of viewing an older version of the home page). Unless don't mean on your phone, then I'm not sure.ColinIsCool wrote: ↑Sun Apr 01, 2018 8:06 pm I've been noticing the past couple days that I'll be logged out after having logged in, usually if I navigate back to the main index.

Re: Technical Issues
I just clicked back onto the index after making that post and it was exactly what you said — an older version of the homepage where I'm not logged in and your reply is the most recent in this thread. So I'll clear my cache and see what's what over the next few days.
