I post less. Even the forums feel quiet these days.

I am trying to be patient.
Honestly.
I'm trying to give the forum a chance - on PC/Laptop it's fine, on phone it's OK, but some changes would make it far better

But we are promised updates and not given.... come on James!!!! Trying to be patient frown

It's not James, it's the "Tech Team" who are probably drawing lots at the moment to see who pulls the short straw and has to tell us the bad news!

I don't understand why the mobile site is so slow and unresponsive. Will there be a way to make my iPhone only go to the desktop site?
This has been raised by many people.

I believe the "tech team" are over-due an update to us , based on the messages from James before.
Was expecting one on Thursday last week.

I am seriously beginning to wonder if the tech team are completely in over their heads.
Actually the "desktop" site on my iPhone is nothing like the desktop site on my laptop. Sorry guys but this is not working for me at all. Ah well, I should waste less time on here anyway.

So long and thanks for all the fish.

This is correct, it is the Dev team that are composing an update.

Today we have released the following updates to the forums:

- Added the ability to report a post in mobile portrait view

- Ensured the back button is consistent across the forums (Users now have the ability to navigate up/back from a sub forum to the forums homepage as is already the case when navigating from a thread to a sub forum)

- Fixed the behaviour whereby the second advert leaderboard caused the content to move down until fully loaded

- Fixed a bug in the behaviour of the hamburger menu in the forums homepage to display the menu and not simply reload the page

- Removed the button on mobile that directed users to their last visit in a thread and replaced the functionality so that this is always the case (where applicable) when clicking anywhere on the thread title

- Added a forums group page to mobile to match the functionality available in desktop

- Fixed a bug that didn’t let users see their topics and replies in my stuff for the last 7 days (as they could for the last 14 days, 48 hours and 24 hours)

- Made a change to the appearance of unread threads so that they now appear as bold text in mobile

- Made a change to the appearance of visited links so that they now appear purple in desktop

- Updated the PistonHeads logo in forums to match that across the rest of the site

- Improved the overall appearance of forums in desktop, including improved alignment and consistent fonts and colours

- Improved the appearance of action buttons (Start new topic, Reply, Bookmark, Watch) for consistency between desktop and mobile

- Removed an extra “Show all/Show favourites’ button that appeared as an additional blue rectangle on some pages

- Fixed a bug that had caused the ‘Mark all as read’ button on the what’s new page to regress following the last update

- Fixed a bug that would cause colour and formatting anomalies when a user quoted one of their own previous posts
- Fixed issues surrounding pagination that would sometimes return errors for users scrolling through multi-page threads with preferences set to descending view

As ever, please continue to send us your feedback in this thread. We’re currently looking at new ways to collate this better and will be in touch regarding this soon.

Additionally, we have set up the below sticky thread, dedicated to communicating site releases, with roadmaps for the future to follow.

Best wishes,

The PistonHeads Team

- Improved the overall appearance of forums in desktop, including improved alignment and consistent fonts and colours

Really?



- Improved the appearance of action buttons (Start new topic, Reply, Bookmark, Watch) for consistency between desktop and mobile I can't see any change and they are still different between iPhone and iPad?
