I'm using the mobile version of the site and I don't have access to my messages. It says disabled messager. There's no option of a full version of the forum for cellphones like in the "old" forum? That's true, it doesn't seem to have status updates and you seem to be restricted to the "mobile version", which is frankly useless. I do hope this won't be permanent, otherwise it would seriously reduce the convenience of being able to look at it on your phone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once that happens the spoiler tags should work again. In the meantime I'd suggest just avoiding the Game of Thrones thread until this has been done. I am avoiding the thread as usual, that isn't the issue. But the option to see what's new now has text from the last post in it, so just by checking whats new one can see potential spoilers without even going to the thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Posted May 23, 2016 #53 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Is it going to continue to show every time someone posts or will it go back to just showing the individual threads in the order of activity? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mobile version is actually responsive so it essentially fits whatever device you are using. It may be possible to include the sidebar on the mobile version, it will need to be looked in to.

Dredimus Posted May 23, 2016 #56 Share Posted May 23, 2016 I browsed through this thread and didn't see anything on it and its likely an issue with the main page integration... but the home page keeps showing me as not logged in, but if I click the forum link it shows I am already logged in. Nothing major, just a slight annoyance that I am sure you are already aware of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poppi Posted May 23, 2016 #60 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Additionally, just spent about 30 minutes writing a post in "Stories etc". Posted and it didn't register as a post in that thread, had to sign back in again. Frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michelle Posted May 23, 2016 #64 Share Posted May 23, 2016 (edited) The individual forums are normal, it's the main activity that is showing every time someone posts instead of just taking the thread to the top of the page.

DeeSember Posted May 23, 2016 #65 Share Posted May 23, 2016 I complained a little about the changes earlier, back to say that I am starting to like the alerts, when I tab to read a link I get live alerts for likes and stuff and I am 'liking' that. Just having to get used to things. Good work thought! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The activity feeds allow for various configurations to be set up so I believe you can set it to your own preferences. It should also be possible to have pre-made options set up too - these are things that will take a bit of time to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of it has gone away. The only part that's left is that when I sign in from the Forum page, I still get shifted to the main site page (In the former setup, if I logged in from the Forum page, then I stayed there). I am logged in, though, and the "page doesn't exist" thing doesn't happen anymore. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Commander Travis Posted May 23, 2016 #69 Share Posted May 23, 2016 All this technical talk is a bit confusing. I'll just wait & see how it turns out, I think. I'm disappointed about the mobile version, though; "full version" worked fine with the old version, but now apparently we're stuck with the 'mobile version'? That really does seem a step backwards.

freetoroam Posted May 23, 2016 #71 Share Posted May 23, 2016 STAFF???? LOL. What happened to moderators? Do we have to call you staff now, like "staff, the toilet has overflowed again" or "if you have a problem, please report to a member of staff"?

"Staff" is just the default language string Invision Board uses for the moderator list - it's typically the word that's used on most forums.

I think your concern there is with not being able to view statuses on mobile, rather than the lack of a desktop switch option. As I've said before, nothing is set in stone - I'm sure a solution will present itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Commander Travis Posted May 23, 2016 #74 Share Posted May 23, 2016 No, you don't seem to be able to get the full version on mobiles, which you used to, and I'm afraid the "mobile version" really is no substitute. You don't have notifications or anything on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only difference between them is that some elements are hidden/reorganized to fit on the smaller screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
