Have to say I don't like the fact that the 'new post, unread posts .......' are hidden. May be me being lazy, but having to go into a drop down box to choose is a pain.
As you say, email has stopped again.

So far so good. Only problem (other than those noted) I can see so far is that when writing on a mobile device the screen doesn't scroll to follow the text. Or rather, when you write, you can write off the right hand side of the screen and can't see what you're writing. I suspect this might be because the banner ad is increasing the theoretical screen width.

The good;
On my phone, as i don't like using tapatalk, I can now view the whole post without having to zoom in and out and scroll left and right.

The bad;
As already mentioned, I have to now press 2 buttons / clicks to view unread posts. I press this button a lot normally.
On mobile devices, when looking at the list of unread threads I can see who posted last and when but I can't see who started the thread and when. Even if I click the view desktop version in my browser it is still the same. I can see it when veiwing on a desktop PC though.

Also, when I click Submit for a new post it seems to take quite a long time to complete. Not sure if this is device or browser specific yet but this is with Wondows and using Firefox.

Top work Phil. Not been on much the last week, but I guessed you were pressing on with things when I looked at the forum around midnight one evening this week and it was offline. :beerchug:

One to look at - links now navigate you away from the page you are on, rather than opening a new page (I'm sure it used to open a new page before, or am I going mad.....)
