willedoo Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 (edited) Not sure if others are having the same problem. I think it's possibly a Javascript problem. No images automatically display, no hover mouse over actions work and cannot post photos. The only way I can post text is to turn Javascript off in the browser. With Javascript on, the text box for posting doesn't appear, but it does when I turn off the script. Edited August 28, 2022 by willedoo 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry_Atrick Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Timing wasn't too bad for me.. I had a couple of days off with my son and we went AWOL anyway.. although the site was going to be my glimpse of sanity during the trip 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red750 Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Siily Pictures thread does not appear on the What's New page. I located it via the Notifications bell and posted a picture. Went back to What's New - and nothing there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willedoo Posted October 8, 2022 Author Share Posted October 8, 2022 This is my first time on the site with a smart phone. I can post in a thread but can't post again in that same thread. When I tap on 'reply to this topic' the only option I get is to edit the previous post. There must be a trick to it, any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willedoo Posted October 8, 2022 Author Share Posted October 8, 2022 It's ok thanks all, I figured it out. In small print there's an option 'clear editor'. Tapping that clears it and allows access to the text box for posting. The phone is certainly a different beast for interwebby type things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onetrack Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Willie, is it a new iPhone or an Android? I rarely use a mobile phone to access sites, because I find there are major limitations to what a phone can do on websites, as compared to a desktop or laptop. The small screen is a major handicap for a start - but then the level of ads starts to take over, and becomes a major annoyance. I also find the mobile apps are very limiting when it comes to good search results. I find I can get vastly better search results using a desktop or laptop, than I ever can, using a phone - and a 22" screen provides a superb area for viewing and page information - particularly when the level of site information is huge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an android. I've always avoided using a phone to access the internet as much as possible, as I consider it an unpleasant experience to try to do so using a screen the size of a cigarette packet. Also I hate touch screens and am having a bit of trouble getting the scrolling pressure right so I don't keep accidentally opening things I didn't intend to. I've been a bit spoilt over the years with a one metre wide monitor and have almost zero experience at phone surfing the internet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willedoo Posted December 23, 2022 Author Share Posted December 23, 2022 I'm going away over Christmas and was planning to access this site via the phone. It's an older one with the Android 6 system. The latest thing is that this site can't be reached. Going via the parent site doesn't work either, and it's the only site I can't connect to. I tried connecting via a proxy and that worked, so bookmarked that proxy connection and it has no trouble connecting again. I'm wondering if there's been a site update that's caused it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

facthunter Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 You're right. We certainly don't seem to have any grumpy old Women. All the "most fun" things were done in the olden days when you "did things" Manually and couldn't think of buying NEW and SHINY stuff, unless you came from a POSH family.

red750 Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 I am repeatedly getting the situation that the edit box does not clear when I submit a post. I open the box to reply and my last post is still there with a bar asking if I wish to clear it. This should not be necessary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmccarthy Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 The response time for this site has been getting slower, and this morning is around 30-40 seconds. It is effectively unusable for me. The other site is fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm getting satisfactory loading time and I am using a wifi dongle to pick up from a tower about 10 kms away across flat country. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
