Gizmo said Done some work on the mobile friendly version. It will tend to jump from desktop to mobile and back on some screens, especially if you are logged in. But for general reading of the forum on as mobile device I think its ok.

Naturally the different browsers are displaying the pages slightly differently.

Ok on my 2 Samsung tablets on Chrome.
Also much better on my Oppo Phone.
All detected ok.

Hi Gizmo.
Mobile format is linking very nice

Only grizzle is that images don't scale perhaps so they're wider than the forum page and can make it difficult to read posts with pics.
Android running chrome browser

But in all the upgrade has been brilliant, daily reader here.

Yeah I decided to keep the images full size, as scaling them could loose detail and I didnt want to use place holders or thumbnails. You can scroll/swipe left and right to see the full image.

Um, just went back to try and find the mileages Trev was getting in the ute, and there is a whole bunch of stuff missing from the EV forum, all Trevs EV threads prior to EV6 have disappeared, seems there is nothing there prior to 2010???

Fixed a bug where very old topics were not displayed.

the gmail issue and password retrieval. Can I confirm, members with gmail accounts, who can log in ( dont need to reset their password ) are receiving email notifications for posts where they asked for them?

I have a gmail account and didn't have to reset my password. I found that I could get email notifications if I click on the "Notify me when someone adds to this thread" button but not if I tick the "Email notify me of replies" box only.

I have de-selected the "Notify me when someone adds to this thread" button so I will see if I get an email if someone replies to this thread.

OK, I've set up a TBS test member with my own gmail account as the contact email address, and tested to see if the forum could send the password reset email to that gmail account.
All worked fine, the email arrived in my gmail inbox.

I know some people are having problems receiving the password reset if they have a gmail account, but I cant replicate this problem, so I cant fix it. gmail is accepting emails from the forum, so must be something else blocking the emails getting to them. Who knows.

EDITED to remove a second reposting of the above post.

FYI - This second post came up after I tried to go to the forum after posting, I got an error and accidentally caused a resubmit.

Latest EDGE browser, never happened before, might just be a one off.

I did not receive notifications of the above 3 posts because I de-selected the "Notify me when someone adds to this thread" button But I did have the "Email notify me of replies" box ticked.

When I select the "Notify me when someone adds to this thread" button I do receive an email when someone replies AND I also receive an email when I reply.

I have a gmail account and my browser is Google Chrome.

Having sent a PM I get this Message:

The PM appears to be sent out succesfully.

Added print buttons.

You can print the individual post, the whole page, or the whole thread. Printing the whole thread is only available to members.

If you have a PDF printer installed, you can use the "Print this thread" to make a offline copy of the entire thread.

Getting through the forum bugs as time allows, my business has got busy over the last few months so I need to concentrate on that first.

Many thanks for your efforts with TheBackShed

Thanks for the print button, it is really handy for printing out the full thread. I use cutepdf and get the topic collected in one file. Great

The 'Remember me' check box doesn't work for me. If I close the page then open it up again I have to log in again. Shouldn't it remember me so I don't need to log in again? I'm using Chrome and usually a VPN.

Bill

OK. Sorry again, I just disconnected the VPN and it did remember me!

That's what a VPN is for - privacy

Just a note about using VPN's. I've blocked several countries from accessing the server, including but not limited to Russia, China, some middle eastern countries, etc. This is based on the number of hackers I see from those countries trying to break into the server.
If you use a VPN based in those countries, you may have issues accessing the forum.
