Hello forum demigods...
Is there a way to turn off the "Force mobile device users to use the Mobile Friendly" web interface?
This is one of my biggest pet peeves. I'm on an iPad Air but the website senses iOS and defaults to the Mobile Friendly layout. This is very annoying since the Mobile Freindly layout disables screen zooming. With my eyesight I cannot read the site at all.
I can kick on the "Accessibility " feature on the iPad. But then it operates very badly. Moving around causes the page to scroll all the way over which direction yiu moved.
The website before worked fine. If this cannot be fixed, I don't know how I can continue in the forum. As it is now I cannot use it.
Thanks for,the help.
Eric

From what I could find, iOS doesn't have a good way to disable "force mobile ..." There was a recommendation for the Puffin browser which has a request desktop checkbox http://www.puffinbrowser.com/index.php. You might give that a go.

Personally I use Atomic Web Browser on IOS, lets you send almost any user agent to the world, and does a lot of other stuff much better than safari - proper tabs, fullscreen, adblock.
Has both a free and paid version available.
The top menu bar item "Mark Channels Read" doesn't do anything for me (on Chrome v42) - however the small text link of the exact same name at the bottom of the forums list works fine.
Agree also.
At the moment I've noticed:
- No "New Posts" function that I can find - deal breaker
- "New Topics" doesn't work
Hopefully just teething problems while they're working through the updates, but so far it's a struggle.
And auto replacement of ASCII emoticons with graphical emoticons is not working. That's an unhappy face that's been replaced with a broken link to an image. Colon, open brace.
<edit> even after deleting cookies!
This should be resolved..
New post link has returned to the top
Emoji has been fixed
Marking of the channels/forums read should be good for you now. Moved tracking of read threads to database to avoid cookies.
Seriously though, good to see the forums getting some (much needed) TLC.
Umm, not when logged in as me. Unless it's been renamed to "New Topics"? I've got "New Topics" and "Today's Posts" but not "New Posts".
Same here, don't see it. It isn't visible when logged out either. Guess he only added it for the administrator group.
"New Topics" at the top provides you with the posts/threads that you have not read yet, "Today's Posts" will return everything posted today and currently the last two days.
We will tighten this up to the 24 hours soon. This was to give users a place to go back and see what has been posted regardless of whether they have read it or not.
The old today's post button referenced =?getdaily this is the equivalent +1 day
The new search system is much more advanced offering searches the old system was incapable of. 1-2 letter searches are now supported ie: IP communications would not work.
Also implementing SSL for your protection.
We appreciate everyone's patience with the upgrades and the nessicary move forward.
This appears to include user private messages currently... I can see (and read) PM's that people have sent to each other. :eek:
You can use the "Advanced Search" button at the top to do this.
This is actually returning "Visitor Messages" which are viewable to registered forum members. Will see if we can exclude those.
