    Just tried again. I can see a slide but it doesn't seem to want to move when I either swipe the line or the icons. S22+. UPDATE: I can only seem to access it by going to landscape view

    The spoiler and help buttons don't move, you need to slide the bar from anywhere to the left of them.

    @Stargazer

    Yeah that’s what I mean. Technically it would be difficult to get the forum header on the website pages

    @Duluth Murphy's Law I tried again just this now with a total of 997 characters on a talk thread that previously rejected it and hey presto it went through. Thanks for your help, hopefully the initial problem has gone away!

    All looks very different on my iPad now and has lost the date/time stamps on posts.
    No dark mode either.

    But it looks correct on other devices/computers?

    Have you tried clearing your browser cache?

    I often use chrome on an ipad and just tested with safari and it seems fine. Does anyone else have a similar problem?

    I'll give it a try. It is only on the very old ipad mini that I use as bedtime reading. Could be that I am past available Safari versions that this is now optimised for.

    @JC

    Has this just started happening? Nothing has changed on the site

    No mate, not new. I’m just too lazy to address things usually.

    Fixed now though.

    Since the maintenance I have been unable to post from my laptop - I get a forbidden message.

    As @No-Quarter said, try a hard refresh or clear your browsers cache. Your browser is probably running older cached code or there is a session mismatch

    There's been a few more issues this time because the software hadn't been updated for ages and there were loads of changes

    Cheers. Worked.

    On the plus side - we use SquarePOS for our club EFT, and I've figured out how to set up a shop online.

    Processing fees go from 1.9% to 2.2% but it is a handy option rather than just running around on game day. Tracks inventory too...

    @duluth nah is usually only when I am posting a reply, I click refresh, the text is still there but if I have uploaded an image it has to be re-loaded.

    Never logs me out.

    @hooroo said in Maori characters - ū etc:

    [edit -split from a match thread]

    @stargazer How did you get the line above the U in Manawatū (I copied and paste from yours)

    If you have a Mac you can select the Māori language keybord and you'll get a United Tribes flag in the corner where the language flag is (usually it's an Oz flag for NZ based Macs). You can find it under keyboard preferences.

    Then you just hold down option and the vowel and you'll get the macron.
