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

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.

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

Looks like a bug on the latest release link

Apparently refreshing helps most of the time. I’ll install the fix when it’s available

[Yeetyaah]

@duluth yeah refreshing did fix it. I can't post or upvote when it's happening.

Yeah I was getting that one occasionally yesterday on my laptop. Just go into the URL bar and update the post number to the next one and it'll load.

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

I'll try to improve the look of that fixed header inside the threads and the scroll counter on desktops

Are these around for good?

I know im principle your right but my organistion using document filing system that will corrupt word doc if you use anything else but IE

[Duluth]

@nepia

Probably. Nothing to do with me.

They were moved in the latest release. All I do is change a few styles over the top.

Doing any more customisation is not worth the effort
