    Hi Simon, just wanted to mention that today some of the adverts on the forum are cutting right accross the middle of posts instead of at the top. Never had that before. I'm on chrome on iPad. No biggy, just didn't know if it was something to do with upgrades. Thanks for all your hard work.

    Possibly, but I rolled the updates back so maybe not - it's always good to clear the cache / do a page refresh to be sure. It is possible as well that if you rotated the device after loading the page that the ads won't re-load until you navigate to a new page.

    Heads up everyone. I _think_ I fixed the issue that was affecting Firefox / Edge / IE, caused by a bug in one of the libraries I use (I've submitted a patch to Google).

    So I'm going to try rolling out the updates again but, because I was trying a few ways to fix it, I ended up making a few more updates. And by "a few" I mean "a lot". The whole system of loading the page and building the scripts has changed so:

    THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE A FEW THINGS WILL BE BROKEN FOR A SHORT PERIOD!

    Please be patient. I appreciate the feedback and bug reports but you don't need to tell me something is broken or post screenshots unless and until I announce that I think everything should be working and it still isn't for you.

    I'll check things in Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge and IE (in that order) to make sure the main things are working and if there are issues I'll roll things back again.

    But that takes time so, if you have any problems, check the latest status on this topic and then just wait a while, retry and wait a while longer. Refresh the page and see if it clears up.

    OK, initial tire-kicking looks promising. Everything seems to be rendering and showing edit boxes etc... on all the major browsers. I'll checkout the mobile devices I can ...

    Yes, seems to all be working OK for me. So I'm declaring it "should be working 'cause it works on my machine" (that's an official IT term).

    If you have any problems, let me know. I haven't tested all the secondary functionality like sending PMs yet but they are unlikely to be as problematic.

    Ah, looks like sending a new PM works but replying doesn't show the box. I'll take a look.
