This forum really struggles on Netscape 😉
There's a forum???
Don't worry I have posted on the new fangled BBS...
and
It is quite extraordinary that this new super-duper forum software has the same pagination bug as the old crappy forum software.
It's struggling on Mosaic this evening
I'm looking forward to 84 🙂
I bloody love a good moan and hate crappy comms, in all aspects of life.
You not think this is getting a teensy weensy bit over the top now though? The stance has been established and that's it. Stay or don't, pay or don't, play or don't. 🙂
I actually feel a bit sorry for Cougar & Mood Hoover, I really think they should walk away from posting here at all - then this would just all just drop away and the forum will find its new, or otherwise, success.

Using punctuation in a section of text highlighted for italics is still throwing up strange results, on occasion.
IE4 has a slightly better stab at things than Mosaic 🙂

These always amuse me. People keep coming up with ideas about who the anonymous moderators are, and I don’t think anyone’s ever actually guessed correctly yet.

Well, no, but I wouldn’t have said what I just said either, I’d have not mentioned it.

You're not going to make me lmgtfy you are you Cougar?
TBH, I didn’t realise there were any anonymous mods!
Shhhhhh.....

It's always good for communities / societies both online and in real life to have unknown, undercover anonymous actors observing, reporting and destroying members of said community. It's good for building social cohesion, fairness and a feeling of belonging . I mean, look at how happy everyone on STW is!!
MRDA = Mandy Rice-Davies applies. To be fair I had to look it up! 🙂
83!
Call in Cambridge Analytica - they're whizzo chaps with all this interweb stuff.
Has Mark been moonlighting with them? Could explain a lot.....
Nah.
More this, I think
probably been asked an answered, but are saved favourites gone for ever?
Looks like we're all coming over here.

I wondered why testing was happening on the Grit forum
http://grit.cx/forum/topic/getting-rid-of-the-ads-2
@j4ck4ss - I started a thread about the consolidation as it's not really about the forum updates
Auto correct still isn't working for me properly on google keyboard and android....
Page numbers on the front page seem to be working properly again now, which wasn't the case earlier.
Looks like we’re all coming over here.
Welcome.

Just what this place needs, more bloody roadies. :rolleyes:
Definitely the best option, easier to maintain, single channel distribution and a client base of similar wants and needs..
Glad it's happened, GritCX was a good idea initially.. but it's just become another aspect of riding bikes.. but in dirt/mud. Therefore, has more in common with the scope covered here.
After all, we still chat here about Gavel/CX because some of us think this is the best place for it..
Merging is the sensible option.
Looks like we’re all coming over here.
Excellent. A good move.
Hey, you know that messaging system in the site? Well, it's got that upgrade we've all been asking for!
Great news.

It's so you can talk with your friends. Sadly, I don't have any, but never mind...
When did that happen, or has it always been there?
*Pokes DD*
Great. Use the space freed up to stick the e-mopeds in there.

About a year ago.

Oh shush, you.
It could well be that someone was being harassed, or there were other external factors which made it a priority? It's a good idea IMHO.
I really hope there is no connection between that link and the messaging feature. 🙁

You make a fair point - though I presume if somebody was being harassed you do have other means at your disposal to sort that out?
I had a little chuckle at CFH's comment - I'm guessing we can't now complain about not getting updates on progress, even if it's not progress anybody was asking for?
When are we getting a STW Facebook group just for blokes, so we can talk freely about boobies and moustaches and that?
The girlies have their own one and I’m feeling a bit discriminated against

I've no idea, we probably wouldn't be a party to that anyway. It was just a guess. Quite often when sudden changes go in it's because STW hasn't much choice in the matter. In any case, I still think it's a Good Thing.

Literally, Faceboob.
That said we’ve closed the odd one and asked the OP to post in the forum update thread to keep the discussion in one place.
If you want the discussion kept in one place you could simply sticky this thread. 🙂

I think the idea was the users got to bump the thread, thus making them feel part of the process.
The thread highlighting the issue has been closed. I'll repeat dannyh's OP here as it hasn't been registered on this or the pop-up's/redirects thread and the issue is very ****ing annoying. I won't use the quote function, as I'm scared what might happen:
Using Safari on an iPad, so nothing niche.
Silly left hand half of screen bar/advert keeps flick-flacking into view, blocking the typing box. Screen jumps all over the place, I presume in an effort to force feed me an advert for something.
Getting right on my tits and making it onerous to use. Anyone else?

The patience you (still) need to use this post editor on an iPhone is utterly insane. Please let us stop it from loading, and use a plain txt editor, on a user by user basis, at least 'till it has been made user friendly.

Underlined font button is apparently still a bit broken.

Underlined text. How difficult can it be?
<span. style="text-decoration: underline;">Not too difficult </span>
HA! Maybe it is.
I really miss the old view of threads I’d replied to, how long ago and when the last post was.
Does the combined front page not update for anyone else, or is it just me?
🤔
Yeah - if you scroll to the bottom of the page there's now a pop-up.
How exciting..
Are they trying to drive people away deliberately?
even if you've subscribed and already received it
oh the joy of data
Yeah I seen that it appeared once I closed it and it’s never appeared again.
I've had enough of this site. I've spent years perusing it but now it's just aggravating. mtbr forum is pretty good for a browse so I now head over there if I want to kill ten mins.
Advertising only works if there are people left to see it. Make your site unpleasant to use and people will rapidly disappear.
I'll check back here from time to time in the hope that it's no longer a jumpy mess. I remember when it was just a list of topics and you clicked on one and read some stuff. Used to love that.
That stupid popup really is taking the piss 😒. Prime member, been here for over a decade, subscribed to the magazine for over a decade....
i don’t want a popup about the magazine I have paid for for over 10 years.
Please fix this crappy mess you have made of the forum...

Agreed.
It does appear that once you close it it stays closed and never comes back (until 2 weeks from now I guess but I hope not)
>i don’t want a popup about the magazine I have paid for for over 10 years.
+1
You know I'm a subscriber, so why spam me with utterly pointless messages?
Unless you really want me to cancel my subscription.
Does anyone know if the super Google server update has happened to the site yet?
I see that closing it does make it go away, so that’s good I guess. I did screenshot my post and put it on the FB group. Apparently it’s not a popup, but ann information slider, with useful things to read.

It may well be unintentional behaviour, or an experiment. (I don't know.)

Might be a cookies / multiple pages open thing, I tend to open several at once, but I've seen it twice tonight.

What? Already?
Come on now, this thread, and the associated update, has only just got going! 2 months is nothing.
I can see why there has been no time to fix any of the stuff people have been asking for...
Just close it and it disappears. Is this what we've become? A bunch of entitled roasters leaving because of one bloody pop up? Jesus wept.
Nobeer, I haven’t left, I just find popups annoying, and in this instance a superfluous addition with no obvious benefit.
No obvious benefit? They're trying to sell ****in magazines! You think they shouldn't advertise on THEIR site for THEIR product just because you subscribe? It's no even a proper pop up, only appearing at the bottom. Holy **** some folk have too much time on their hands.
. Holy **** some folk have too much time on their hands.
The Devs I reckon who have enought ime to add ads to people for a product they already have while not fixing a load of the things that are pissing people off....

and yes still can't return you to the right page on post
I think I realise why there's no beer left in the fridge 🙃
Greg, read my post. I have bought the magazine as a subscriber for over a decade. Surely logging in filters the popups. It does on Wiggle, CRC and many other places, not here though. It has nothing to do with time, just how we fulfil ourselves using it.... Anyway, off to jump off a pier into the cold sea 😜
As have I, and for the money, I have received a mag (and bloody cheaply too btw) for that time. I don't feel like the same entitlement as you do, and as I said, it's not even a pop up, I actually had to go beyond the last post on a thread to see it. First world problems eh?.
