New website

It's on MANTIS somewhere.

I love the time in shoput box, but I have noticed an issue with it,

I posted at test at 1429 and the time showed as 1429 but then for some reason it seams to drop an hour and shows 1329, it seems it is flicking back and forth between the 2 times, as while typing this one moment it shows 1429 then shows 1329 and it switches back and forth

Now it is displaying 1629 it seems the time stamp in shout is not very stable

Interesting bit of behaviour, absolutely consistent over a significant period (I assume it's been happening since the new site went live but it took me a while to notice). Whenever I've read the forum I log out before leaving the site (and I wait until shown as such). But when I return to the Simsig site, I'm shown as logged in!

Have you tried clearing cookies for SimSig.co.uk? I remember that after Geoff had declared this issue as fixed, I had to manually clear my browser's cookies once in order for logging out to actually start working.

Interestingly, the next time I logged in after posting, I had to log in properly. So I'm taking it either Geoff quietly sorted something easy or the cookie somehow got itself deleted - though I don't know how! If the former, I imagined Geoff would know all was now well.

How do people find the "swipe" version of the website? I may just remove it if few people like it. Easier to maintain just a mobile and a desktop layout; not a third intermediate level as well.

There is now an icon on the top notification bar that looks like a mobile phone. This will switch the website into mobile (lite) mode.

Since I'm receiving the green version of the website with Firefox on my phone (Android) by default, I might have to actually give the "proper" mobile version another try for a proper comparison.
Nevertheless, with a few additional CSS tweaks (mainly to make the avatars smaller and to turn word-wrapping back on) I actually find that version of the website quite usable even on a phone and might even prefer it to the "blue" version.

I want to check a couple of things with the people that altered the CSS originally as (a) CSS is a bit over my head; (b) I've made a few tweaks since your post (point A notwithstanding).

Geoff,

Just a note to let you know that to me IE11 makes a horrible mess of the Forum site. I do not know what other Members see using IE11 but it is not a good advertisement.

Simsig's Home page displays the Welcome to Simsig at the bottom of the page. The top of this page is blank apart from Ads, In the Latest Posts page the left hand column displays a cut off Ads and nothing else but a list of posts.You need to go to the bottom of a page to compose or reply to a message.

I am using Google Chrome to write this post. It is excellent.

I don't experience any of those issues when using IE11 (As much as it pains me to admit loading the site in IE).

Did you try doing a hard refresh of the page?

Screenshot would also help.

Here is a screen shot.

Although it has been fixed in the past, I think a previous problem has recurred. When I am logged in and click on a topic which has "New" postings it seems to be random whether I am taken to the new posting or just to the top of the first page of the topic.

Anyone else seeing that?

Yes, started this weekend.
