New MSE website

I was sure I'd already tried that but it didn't work previously ... but, hey ho - cheers. (BTW I've set mine to 99% rather than 100%)

!important is needed to force that style declaration to take precedence over any that may be defined elsewhere that could impact that element. For the .Signature element ... you could have left out the :style etc. and uBlock would nuke it anyway.

Using IE I have lines of text overlapping. However on Chrome it is perfect - any reason?

IE is not a modern browser which supports current technology. There is no reason to use IE anymore.

Windows 10 features Microsoft Edge. Microsoft recommends using Microsoft Edge as your default browser and supports Internet Explorer 11 for backward compatibility.

One thing I miss about the new forum is being able to define the number of posts per page. In the old green skin the default was 20 but I had mine set to 40. In this new forum it seems the default is 10 per page with no option to change this ... a retrograde step IMHO.

I've found that it needs to be set to 100% first, to force the browser to accept it, then you can set your own value. No idea why, it just is.

Also can’t view the forum on an IPad- have tried Safari, Chrome and Atomic browsers with no luck. It’s only an issue once I have signed in.
Fine on phone and pc.

I absolutely hate the new web site . I used to be able to click on my name. Then click statistics and either click all query posts started or all posts. With this I just don't know where to go or what to do.

Having used it for a few days now I can't say I like it but can live with it. Very similar to the one at digital spy and has the same quirks. Need to remember on each visit to 'mark all read' under my profile and wait for the little popup to appear. Slow change between pages and seems to be some ad-related traffic going on underneath. Retrograde move but so what.
(and although I know there is an official snagging thread that is far far too big and anything posted there gets lost in minutes - and probably ignored by the forum staff).

Bit of a puzzle, I can’t access the forum on my iPad at all. It worked perfectly until the forum changed and updated. I can access using my phone and have tried clearing cookies, resetting network settings and a general reset on the iPad but still can’t get the forum pages to load . The main website will load but I just get a blank page whenever I try the forum. 

Turn your iPad landscape and see if that helps. Does for me, others with older iPads not.

I can't find any feature on the new forum that is better than that on the old - why has this monstrosity been visited upon us?
