@hooroo said in Forum maintenance (mostly done - fixing the layout problems):

I'm on IE at work and it doesn't even say how long ago a post was made etc. In a bright white theme too.

Yes IE is a bit fucked.

I'll fix what I can when I can. The problem is that it doesn't render like other browsers and so special exceptions have to be made for people on IE.

Dark mode is lowest priority. It appears the plugin is not loading at all (eg not related to customisations). This is only on IE.

@duluth and edge

there actually several issues with edge, like when i click the "noticifications" it opens a whole new page, not just a drop down, plus the not being able to reply, quote or like

Clear your browser cache

I just replied to you, liked/unliked your post and opened notifications on Edge

[Kiwiwomble]

@duluth must be something else with me then, cleared but still buggered

i'll use chrome, edge crashes all the time anyway

[dogmeat]

Yeah I'm on Edge - no issues.

I thought that too - but then I realised it's just moved across to the right?

[Hooroo]

@Kruse unfortunately not mine.

Can't quote, reply directly, Like, or use the @thing and the drop down appears.

Also can't mark forums as read and no up/down arrows to go to first/last post.

woe is my first world problems!!

@mariner4life I would like that, but I can't

Yes I have an ancient laptop with IE. I can see the same thing.

Sorry, there's zero chance I'm fixing anything today though. Too busy. Should have some time over the weekend

In the meantime you're stuck with your phone or you can nag your works IT department to get off IE

Incidentally 0.4% of TSF traffic comes from IE. It's just dropped behind the Seamonkey browser

All good. Just jumped on via phone as my posts were disappearing but it appears it is just that the page won’t load as I scroll down.

What's up with YouTube embeds on here - the fullscreen option is never enabled for some reason?

allowfullscreen is set but is getting ignored by the google side

Eventually I want to change the embeds to another method. That's a while away.

Hasn't been for ages

People, for the love of God, stop using IE to browse the web. Your IT department should give you a modern browser to use even if some of their shitty custom apps still need IE. It's a waste of Duluth's time fixing stuff for old browsers.

[Yeetyaah]

I can't upvote some users posts. It says Error forbidden.
