A bit of house cleaning

[Lowlight]

We have to do some updates, and they may do it today

The site will be offline I am sure for the main update,

No worries, we'll be right back - just routine maintenance

 

[Srgt. Hulka]

Well, that was quick.

 

[Maser]

So that means we'll actually have to socialize in real life instead of online?! Now THAT'S Halloween scary!

Quick update, even though you guys may not yet be fully done with the updates.

Icons at the top of the page are gone on mobile, such as the search button and the drop down menu. You can still touch where the menu button used to be and it will drop down, but then the "sub-icons" such as messages, notifications, etc. aren't there. Same deal, they work if you remember which one went where, but they're not actually there.

Also, the eye symbol that used to indicate a thread you're following is gone, as is the text under a thread title showing which subforum it belongs to. I've attached a few photos showing what I'm getting at.

If it helps, I'm on an iPhone 6S running iOS 10.3.3 (yeah, old, but I never download an update until it's shaken out by others for awhile).

they are still working

Roger. Looks good otherwise, and has a sort of "crispness" to the updates so far.

Here's how the icons look for me:

There must be a "desktop view" option on here that I've chosen sometime in the past, because my phone looks just like it does on my computer.

 

[Maser]

Okay, the icons have returned!

You know what? I gotta say, speaking of the mechanics of it, this is the best looking and working forum I've been a part of. I've lurked on and been a part of probably 20 of the most popular gun and hunting sites. This one looks and works the best of them all.

Not trying to suck anybody's dick, just calling it as I see it.

Agreed, and the continual refinements keep it that way. I was a very infrequent guest during the Scout days. Definitely glad those are over, this place rocks like the good ol' days now!

ETA: I no longer have to rotate my phone to make edits (small detail, I know, but I lock rotation on mine, so not having to unlock it anymore for an edit is nice), and everything is lightning fast now. Schweet!

New layout on mobile is way better.

Trying to search on Android still doesn't work.

mobile web site on a smart phone works much better. Not sure why everything needs an APP other than for tracking and personal info.

 

[Maser]

Posting this from my phone and yeah the mobile look is good!

 

[Lowlight]

For Android, search go into the submenu on the side and it works

Use the menu on the left then down to "Search Forums"

I'm not nerdy enough to have the true answer to that, but with my experience on mobile devices, an app generally runs a bit quicker and uses less battery than running a site in an actual browser.

 

[Lowlight]

Apps are pricey I have been quoted $60k for an App to access the site.

 

[deersniper]

F the full page ads. F them with a cactus.

 

[Lowlight]

Just a glitch don’t be a drama queen

 

[deersniper]

Still glitchin

 

[Lowlight]

Still glitchin

It’s your phone no issues here and I have both iPhone and Android running

 

[sirhrmechanic]

Did you add a tittie blocker to the Motivational Thread?? Because, well, there is an app for that!

Cheers,

Sirhr

If they were good they would make it backwards compatible with older iOS.

Love the site and you do a great job but not going to risk bricking my phone just to get rid of an ad that shouldn't be there. No problems with any other sites.

 

[Lowlight]

Go away,

No webpage will "Brick" your phone, you have no clue what you are doing, guess what nobody else has the same issue you have

Just leave, I am not discussing your BS anymore

Oops. Should have kept on reading. My bad.

I have a little button with three dots and a down arrow that has a drop down with an edit option. That is odd that Androids don't...
