Update:
I’ve figured it out. I had to clear cookies and data for Safari on my phone. I suggest updating the css so that the header (shown below) doesn’t shift off the screen on a mobile device when someone clicks on “desktop view”. It was so far over to the right that on my iPhone I couldn’t access the dropdown menu to revert back to mobile view.
Fantastic sleuthing @DadHatter!! Thanks for the tip too as I was stuck yesterday in desktop view. Somehow it reverted back to mobile today, but I couldn’t figure out how. Thanks!!
Same issue here with clicking on latest. I have to refresh every single time because I get the notice that says there are no recent posts. Both on Safari in iPhone & on Chrome on PC.
“Un-pinning” a post only seems to partially work. I unpinned the BoG FP+ thread. It no longer shows up at the top of “latest” for me, but it still shows up as the top post of the default Categories view.
I tried to access the new forums on my iphone 4s again a little while ago, 3:13 ESt to be exact. It is still loading and spinning minutes later. Why does it need to do that and why is it killing my battery so quickly? What is it trying to load when I am not touching the phone?
I have an iPhone 4S also and it doesn’t load. And I can only get latest if I use @daybreaker link. Just clicking latest results in a there are no latest message.
Just so you’re aware on my galaxy s4 the site itself loads and works great, however, I can’t tag anyone because the auto complete window doesn’t load. The same issue is happening with the emote window after typing the : symbol. I tried it on both the system browser and in chrome.
When I click on Latest, the proper screen shows up but if I want the current info, I have to hit the refresh button. It always defaults to the same screen when I click on latest.
Ok, I have discovered I have to hit the refresh button regardless of what screen I am on. I think my browser is storing a particular “page” for each page if that makes any sense. Once I am on the page I want, I have to hit the refresh button for it to display the correct data. This is from my desktop. Windows 7 Home Premium. The latest version of IE (IE11). Haven’t tried it on Chrome yet but I will.
It works really well from chrome. Not sure about ie.
This sounds like a javascript issue. Does your browser have any specific settings regarding javascript turned on or off?
I can check…Not sure. Maybe it’s a phone wide setting.
Could that also be the reason that when I click on “Latest” from that little icon that looks like an equal sign with an extra line at the top of the page it will give me the message “no recent posts”? I’d really like to fix it, especially for me phone, because it makes it very cumbersome to use and definitely increases the data/battery usage to refresh constantly.
Just checked. JavaScript is turned on.
Its possible. The forum is a javascript application, so if you have any security settings or plugins that might be restricting it, it could be an issue.
I have 2 plug ins enabled. SSV Helper 1 and 2. The only other thing I could find was under internet options/security-scripting of Java applets is enabled. I don’t know enough to know if these are having an effect! Any advice?
@daybreaker, I’m still having a lot of trouble with my replies disappearing, even from my computer (posting now from PC on IE, had same problem at home on iMac). I post a reply, and it appears briefly, but when I move to a different page after posting, the reply I just posted disappears. Sometimes I can see it later (like, maybe half an hour later). Other times it just never comes back. User error? Or a bug? Are my posts really disappearing completely, or are they just invisible to me? Thanks!
Not sure what you did, but the site is loading faster today in safari on iPhone 5s (now that I’m finally in) than yesterday. But the header bar still floats sporadically.
And I do have to hit the reply button twice to reply to posts.
I logged in this morning and had a notification of several new badges. Went to my profile to see them and can’t open any of the parts of my profile, even my messages, even when I push hard
