SITE UPGRADE FEEDBACK

[RacingSnake]

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

Tolsen, can you post up a screenshot of your screen please?

Thrumbleux's viewing issue is due to the low resolution making the webpage huge and tripping into 'mobile' view - this is a computer/browser issue - (though I will try to think of alternatives to make the experience a bit better!!)

[RacingSnake]

Can you email it to me?

[Thrumbleux]

Screenshot.
Now e-mailed.
You can delete your e-mail address RS.

There are ads at the bottom for those who are not supporters (the very bottom and out of the way)

Ads on some pages but not all. Spotted a BMW one high up on a page.
Attempted uploading attachment with opening page screenshot.Has it worked?
Mid click thing affecting this post (with quote). Mid word click and I can backspace out the offending letter but entering its replacement sees it appear at the word's end.

Google Chrome and the only plug-in I'm aware of is Shockwave which keeps crashing anyway. The page appearance is the same crashed or not though.
You mention ad-blocker. Are there ads on the forum? I can't see any.

NB. On this post I can edit words. Anything to do with posts containing quoted posts?

How to post a screenshot?
Depends what OS you use
Windows, usually, shift and print screen
Then go to word or paint then paste.

Mac: Press the Apple key ⌘ + Shift + 3 all at the same time
It then appears on your desktop

After that you can upload it using the attatchment option in the top right of this reply box.

This is what my screen looks like

[OMA]

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.

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

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)

[RacingSnake]

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.

[Thrumbleux]

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.

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!

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 !

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.

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