Pinky. I have been logged out by the site if I was dawdling over a reply at times. And the sight would log me out if inactive, usually when its on another tab in the browser. Or when I go back to work but leave my browser open.

I will never crib again. You asked for opinions on how things work, a user supplies an opinion, and then its just a shite opinion. If you have no interest in anyones opinion why do you bother asking. Is it a nicety?

News to me.

It's not a new website.

Why would you log out if you were responding to a post?

Sounds to me as if you successfully logged in.

That's a weird one alright. The words "Last Post" appear, but it's not a link on a small screen. On bigger screens, Last Post is in a separate column and is a link to the last post.

That's fixed now. The time should show up on phones now too. That one was annoying.

I'm seeing page numbers for each topic below each entry in the recent posts list, so can click on the last page that way.

In general much more legible on the phone, nice work lads.

Yeah, I think it's just that it doesn't work well with the green background.
I also want to make it more obvious when you have a PM. They were easy enough to miss before, now they're hidden away in a menu.

I don't like change!!!!

Only messing, it looks better, the online version on Android looks much slicker.

That annoying feature where the date of the message disappears on a small screen is still there. Apparently it's deliberate and not a bug as I thought.
I'm not a bit fan of the buttons being compressed into that Actions dropdown and some of the profile stuff being hidden under a More button, but there might be configuration settings somewhere to sort that out.

Looks great.

Took me a few moments to find the login icon, but then had a duh moment!

Well done.

Right, that'll do for now. The font on the forum menu needs to be fixed, a few of the widgets on the front page aren't displaying, and there's various things that need to be tidied up, but most of it works and it seems pretty stable. I'll fix up the rest some other time.
Any major problems, stick them up here.

OK, there are a few warnings appearing, and the colour scheme has gone a bit East Coast, but looks like everything hasn't imploded so far.

Thanks for the heads up guys.

We are going to be doing a bit of work on the website over the next few days, upgrading some of the software, etc.
This should improve things and give a better user experience but it is likely that it may get worse before it gets better.

So if you experience any downtime over the next couple of days, or if certain parts of the site stop working for a while, don't panic. Bear with us and everything should be back in order in no time.
