    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.

                  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.

                      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

                        @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.

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

                                Plenty of alignment issues I need to fix too.

                                Refresh every now and then and you'll get the latest fixes

                                This is why I haven't updated for a while.. I knew they fucked with the layout. It sucks doing this without a dev server to play with first

                                    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

                                      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

                                      Cool cool, I hate it, but I guess I'll get used to it over time.

                                        I disagree with it too. I am getting used to it

                                          Internet Explorer

                                          The problems @Hooroo was getting was nothing to do with layout changes. It was actually code that is failing to run.

                                          The app was attempting to load, got less than halfway through and then had an error. All the code after that point did not run.
                                          So the missing lightbulb and lack of scrolling etc etc is because the app will not work on IE at all

                                          I think Nodebb stopped supporting IE ~3 years ago. It's been luck that it has worked for this long. Forunately it is only 0.4% of our traffic over the last year and it's dropping fast (well now I guess it will be 0%)

                                          This will happen more and more if your company forces you to be on IE. For instance in a few months Microsoft Internet Explorer will not support opening various Microsoft web apps

                                          It's basically dead

                                          Kill it with fire

                                          Hopefully you can successfully nag your IT team?
