Forum Technical Suggestions Thread.

Don't know if this has been covered already but despite being a big fan of the site for a number of years, I have one criticism - It's terrible to browse on mobile devices. Could you consider some sort of reduced stylesheet (even if just for the forum)?

Would be good to read your content while out and about

I have to use the forum on my mobile, and it says I can't post attachments.
Does this include the Avatar? I can't upload pics from my phone to create one anyway, because I can't downsize them. I did try going to one of the sites suggested to get this done but phone browsers being what they are, that didn't work either.

So, as with some other sites, could there be a choice of Avatars on the site so us phone users can click on one? It would be nice to have one.

Also some smilies put at bottom of quick reply?

Thanks,
Candy

i dont know if this is the right thread to post in but i wanted to ask or bring it to someones attention that i joined the forum yesterday after being a long time lurker as i wanted to get more involved with the site instead of just following martin on twitter and fb. After a while the site logged me out and i couldn't log back in. I know my username and password was correct but after a few tries, all of which were saying it was my 1 out of 5th attempt i applied to reset my password TWICE. both times the new passwords got the same reaction so i gave up and thought i would try again today and got the same thing. I have now had to re-register under a new user name and email account.

I am worried that once logged out today i will get the very same thing happen to me and if i want to join in on alot of the different subjects and threads on this forum i do not wish to keep going back to square one each day.

Could someone let me know if they are aware of the problem? If not at least i have highlighted it and someone can get this sorted out.

Please move this to the relevant thread if necessary but i would appreciate a pm update from someone later just to let me know or reassure me this wont happen again.

Thank you

Hi Hantsgal,

Usernames and password are case sensitive so you must enter all correct upper and lower case letters. For example, username "example" is not the same as "Example".

Perhaps searching your email inbox might help assist you in finding your old username.

Thank you Joe but i made a few attemps to log in under the one i registered with yesterday and trust me i did tripple check everything...im sure it must be a site issue if each and every time it was telling me it was my 1st out of 5 attempts to log in...i just wanted to bring it to someones attention and pray it doesnt happen again to me today as i want to commit myself to some of the challenges on the threads i have read here and start to sort myself out...if thats possible LOL

Joe just wanted to say thank you for your support. I will stick with this account instead of worrying about the old one. I dont really drink much voddie anymore anyway LMAO Thank you again

Is there any chance yet of having 'smilies' for the Quick Reply?'

I'm on my mobile and phone browsers being what they are - slooow, it's much easier using the Quick Reply.

What's this Default nonsense when no post title is inserted?

I think someone is playing with things.

I saw that for an few minutes, but it has gone now.

Hi,

Firstly can I re-ask if you can put 'smilies' next to the Quick Reply please? It's so much easier to use the quick reply on a mobile with a slow browser.

Secondly, could you put the date and time at the top of the page, rather than the time being right at the bottom?

Thanks,
Candy
