• If you change to GTI skin then you cannot switch back (I can do that manually for those that want to, so post below) -

I'd like to go back to Mobile(Beta), please.

(N.B. NOT Beta2 - it doesn't work well on my mobile device).

You should be able to change yourself shortly, give us 15 mins.

The changes failed QA so it couldn't go out.... await comments on that statement

Can you change me back to mobile beta in the meantime please? The new mobile skin is practically unusable and a massive step back in functionality compared to the original mobile skin.

[Bill]

Beta2 for me too please Pete.

[James P]

Beta 2 here as well please.

So one can only use pH legibly on mobile device if logged on? Otherwise you end up with the tiny text tttery?

I'd reply, but I can't see what you've written

I appear to have lost the mobile site on my phone, just get the desktop one now and have to zoom in. I am on the GTI theme and don't have an option to change.

Any ideas on how I can get the mobile site back please?

Yes, although I'm not sure what skin I'm using? I was on beta 1, but now have not option to change, so maybe GTI?

[anonymous-user]

Is there any reason why now whenever I click any link on PH it downloads the page rather than taking to the page???

The only way I can get into any forum is to right mouse click and choose 'open in new tab'

WTF is going on?

No other sites I use are doing this.

EDIT - now it's working properly again!!!!! BUT VERY SLOOOOOW

[Dan_1981]

Any update on the PM system - is this linked to the update?


Doesn't seem to have worked for a while now.

[LordGrover]

Perhaps it's all down to Tarzan?

[All that jazz]

Has anyone noticed that the forums have been running at a glacial speed since yesterday? Getting lots of time-outs and pages taking an age to load whereas other sites are fine.

[Zod]

I still cannot change from the GTI skin. The forum is still an utter mess.

Same here

Though I didn't think I was on the GTI skin but Beta2 before this change.

Haven't read through the thread so apologies if re-asking!

On My Stuff now, there's no option to go to last viewed on threads, I just have to click on the thread itself and remember the last point I looked at it!

Anyone else getting this? Its on a Windows 8.1 phone.

[Reardy Mister]

I've no idea what version I'm looking at but on my iPad it's arse. Feels like I have much less freedom to move about the site and screen feels zoomed so that I swear I'm missing navigation options outside the screen limits. I think it's important to delineate the edges of the functional screen, especially on a mobile device.
It's also hard from a forum list to navigate to a specific page on a topic.

Thanks, using on my Mac (Safari) seems much improved, however on my iPhone my previous points still stand - in "My stuff" there is no way of seeing which threads have been updated since the previous visit (unread threads used to be in bold), nor is there a way to click through to the first unread post in the thread.

I've also noticed that on the PC my posts are not highlighted blue, unless somebody quotes me, in which case the quote is highlighted blue (which didn't work on the mobile beta).
