Forum Issue

[John Fedup]

Haven’t had any issues wrt bandwidth, Win10, or iOS. Still have a Win7 system but haven’t used it for the forum lately. Unfortunately I will have to upgrade my Win7 system to Win10 at some point due to some applications no longer working properly after upgrading.

Has there been issues with the site software / bandwidth ?

I foolishly updated my PC to WIN10 on Friday & Microsoft helpfully didn't bother its backside copying any of my favourite sites / passwords (thankfully Google did !)

However, the 2-step authentication facility was taking on average 45 mins to respond with the passcode, that's only valid for 15 mins !

Thankfully, as you can now see I managed to get back in, with the response e-mail from the website being almost instantaneous...

John, I haven't had any issues and I have been using WIN10 since it came out. Yep the Google backup of sites etc., is great. One thing with WIN10 that I have found is that it automatically defaults to online backup of files etc., which I found slows down connection speed, so I disabled mine. My backup is to a separate hard drive.

More moaning from me...

Has the global front page had an issue ?

(www.defencetalk.com)

Simply getting a list of forum names / pages on the LHS of the screen, that are hyperlinks.

No pretty pictures / backgrounds, etc.

Used to get this often on Windows Internet Explorer, as one of the scripts in the background wouldn't run, or some 3rd party software supplier has updated a widget that screws the page up.

For clarity, I'm running Chrome& have had no issues with the page till today.

Just wondering if this happens to other android users. I already try this from 3 android devices, still the same. Only from the top thread, the other thread normal.

I get this problem when I use my phone, I normally use a Laptop.

All right then, as I usually use my Android more. Thanks for the confirmation.

@Ananda While it didn't happen to me recently, I have sometimes experienced similar issues in other sites. I can't quite recall what I did to fix it but I think it has something to do with Desktop Mode being accidentally turned on for the site. Check if that's the case? And if not, try turning desktop mode on first and then turning it off again.

The root issue IIRC is the stylesheet not loading properly and thus the page width was defined incorrectly to a single character wide. Switching modes forces the phone to redownload the stylesheet which hopefully fixes the issue.
