I'll be quickly upgrading the Fern shortly, hopefully won't take too long.

Main reason, besides support, is to try and get a handle on these timeout problems.

[Kirwan]

Ok, we are back. post any issues you find in here, including timeouts and I'll take a look.

[Crucial]

Good work Kirwan. Thank god you didn't lose any of bring.it.on's posts or we'd have to go through it all again.

Not a biggie but when in the 'Unread Posts" area there is massive spacing between threads. You used to see about 20 unread threads not you can only see 5 or 6 without having to page/scroll down.

Maybe an IE6 thing that is incompatible with software upgrade though as I am at work

I noticed on another multi-page thread that the page number that you're on at the time isn't highlighted on the list towards the bottom. Again, no biggie, and it could be an IE thing.

First thing I noticed this morning, before looking at this thread. I'm using Chrome though.

Try refreshing the cache/ deleting the temporary files with that abomination of a browser. There were a number of template changes that could be effecting that.

Will look at the page number thing tomorrow.

[LAKiwi]

Page number doesn't show in Firefox either. So not browser specific.

[Kirwan]

Anymore timeouts?

[Hooroo]

No timeouts but the IE 6 spacing thing is still there after clearing cache. As I say though no drama, just pointing it out

[Bones]

Not for me today.

[Kirwan]

There is a handful of template issues that I need to sort out, so for the time being I've put it on to the default theme until they are resolved.

Since the upgrade I have not been able to view any linked YouTube clips on my iPhone. Cheers

How about since I've temporarily enabled the default theme?

Still not working

It looks like they may have changed the viewer for these to Adobe flash. Thanks to Steve Jobs, ipads and iphones can't use that common web technology.

I what does it look like with the current theme?

Fucken Steve Jobs! When is the Windows Phone being released?

Next week I think. They look sweet, but I'd wait a few months until they get up and running.

[D-Up]

No rush. I will wait until they prove popular and the bugs are all ironed out but I am looking forward to giving Steve Jobs the finger for the overprotective and restrictive nature of all the iProducts.

Geepers IE6?? You're IT dept. understands that there are massive security holes in IE6 and this version is no longer supported by Microsoft at all? No tabbed browsing???? Ahhh I couldn't handle using IE6 at work all day haha. I'm afraid your issue is with IE6, not this forum

Edit - FYI I work in IT and have seen countless issues with IE6 that are resolved in IE7, hence MS not supporting IE6 anymore...

In the last month, 42% of our traffic was IE in general. And 5% were doomed to IE6.

It's almost dead, but not quite. Agree about the security, any firm still using it and lets connections to the internet (I can understand use for internally developed intranets, and the like) just doesn't care about their data being stolen or corrupted. It's only businesses and their IT departments keeping it alive. It was released in 2001 FFS.

I can now see the page number highlighted...

Yeah, the darker theme needs some updates to get it working properly

[dogmeat]

ok - Top right hand corner where you have links to Notifications Facebook Twitter etc. They are all jumbled on top of each other. Thought it might be an issue with viewing at work (Citrix) but got it at home with both IE7 and FF

[Allstar]

hey Kirwan, have you thought about installing Tapatalk?

Do you mean the Follow the Fern section? Looks OK in my FF, can you try deleting your cache? There have been a lot of template/css changes as we upgraded through multiple versions to the current release.

[Hooroo]

Looks OK to me too and I'm IE6 at work

Nah the very top right hand next to where you log out and it tells you how many unread posts there are. Couple of links to PM's etc, and yr User Name. The formatting is all screwy and they all sit on top of each other.

Not an issue, just thought I'd mention it. Back at work now but have deleted cookies etc and still looks the same.
