SITE UPGRADE FEEDBACK

[problemchild1976]

Cool - at least it's working now. Is there any way I can avoid using the mobile version on my iPhone? Hate mobile sites JJ

Also, the forum layout is too much stretched out vertically with lots of unused empty space.

If you are referring to the page I land on when first entering site, I agree. It looks like a government form to begin with before scrolling down to find the real forum. Which has a fresh look to it.

Also, after posting, how do I

Worked it out.

I don't get it?
Can you take a screenshot for me? as when I enter the site, the forums are the first thing on the screen.

Well if this continues on this forum I'm outta here ! This website is now just loading adverts, I have virus scanned my laptop twice and entered lots of other sites without any issues today. But as soon as I click on this forum I get advert windows automatically loading, asking me to upgrade to this and that, virus pc and free downloads checks etc.
How to ruin a forum IMHO

[longdistancecdi]

Every time you enter a different thread or forum page an advert for Flashplayer, or Virus scanner etc etc pops up, do you have a virus on the forum encoding ??????

[RacingSnake]

Honestly, I think you need to malware/adware scan your own pc.
But I'll raise it for David to look at anyway.

And whilst I like constructive feedback, you can refrain from the "How to ruin a forum" comments - they really don't help!

Also, can you take a screenshot of these pop-ups - it might help us solve your problem.

Tried the site on Windows 7 Unit, iMac with Maverick and MacBook Air with Snow Leopard, and nothing is showing up.
As RacingSnake says, any screenshots would be very useful to help try and find it.

Apologies one of my children has used my computer to download some video stuff for a college project, cleaned, scanned and updated without finding anything three times but the adverts keep cropping up.
So annoyed because they know not to use my laptop because I use it for work and they have three other computers between them !

Beneath the black line which contains the word 'sections' the following words appear in individual lines widely separated and filling the page:

New Topics
Member List
Forum
Todays Birthdays
Latest Topics
Tag Clouds

Then, scrolling down, the forum begins with 'The Cars'.

If you need a screenshot, tell me how to and I'll post one.

A problem I'm having is if I misspell a word and click the cursor mid word to correct, whatever I type appears at the end of the word, ie I cannot edit a word.

One other thing I've noticed is on going to the last page, not all of it is there. Go back one page then forward and the missing post(s) is/are there. Perhaps applies to own posts only.

Your comment on the click mid-word was mentioned on here by someone else - I can't replicate this which makes it difficult to track down! but I'll give it a go!!.

I'll have a look at the spacing - I've made the side wider to reduce the line wrapping where possible.

Yeah, something is not right, I don't see it like this :| I don't have the word "sections" either? what browser are you using? and are you using any plug-ins on it? (like an ad blocker)

Thrumbleux, what browser are you using?
I remember having that issue on Safari ages ago on a different website (actually one of the control panels i use for the hosting stuff), but its not happened for a very long time.
If i mistype a word i can click and go back and it lets me edit in word.

If anyone is having any issues, screenshots or a short video capture of the issue if you can really does help rectify it
