Nothing happened on the GPG so I suggest your problem is local, therefore difficult to advise.

Have you turned it off and on again?

Give us a clue mate. What did it look like, and what does it look like now?

You've probably switched the display style to/from Desktop.
 

CBU's GPG FAQs

I am having the same problems, which started at around the same time.This is across all of my devices (phone, tablet & PC) once I have logged in. Missing from the bottom is the field where you can change the display from desktop to work mode or mobile. I will endeavour to get a screen print.
 

CBU's GPG FAQs

Any chance we can have each thread defaulting to the last page when thread opened?
 

CBU's GPG FAQs

You can. If you click on the arrow next to the name on the Last Post that takes you to it. You can also click on the last page count under each title. I don't think we'd default it because some people who don't browse regularly would possibly miss some content.

Another option (specific to the user) - if you go into your settings > General Settings there is an option called Thread Display Mode. Default for this is Linear Oldest First which means that it starts the thread with the first ever post. If you switched it to Linear Newest First it starts Page 1 with the last posts.

Just click the blue arrow by the side of the thread. It will take you to the last post you read. Or, just go to the last page. :shrug:

Just had a warning, not had it before, that the connection to this site is not private, the site hasn't been verified, and the connection has not been encrypted. I take it nothing has changed, but that Samsung Internet now provides this information?

Yes correct, this site isn't encrypted (it's old) but it's not a shop.

Most browsers are putting up warnings now.

So I presume then that the only information someone can steal is your log in details, and can post under your name, or use any information that you give another poster as a DM?

No, as those details are encrypted in the database.
 

CBU's GPG FAQs

Why is it that when quoting multiple posts, the posts remain "ticked" after the post that quotes them is submitted. (You need to go back and manually untick them before submitting another post, otherwise they get quoted again). (Posting from an Android phone).
 

CBU's GPG FAQs

On a mobile, you have to untick the quotes.

On a laptop or pc, you don’t.

A little quirk of the mobile platform... :shrug:

I often have to untick them, manually, when using a PC/laptop, too. Almost always, in fact.

Bespoke 3rd party code that has one or two bugs. Old and free. Wouldn't know where to start to fix it. One day we might move off onto something better

Is there a way to search for specific terms/words/phrases within an individual thread, rather than on the whole site?
Thank you.

Having been - correctly - upbraided for taking another thread off topic, this seemed like it might be the right place to pose this genuine question.

If one wishes to make a comment on a point in a post, which is itself relevant to that post but might possibly lead to further comments which may tend to lead the thread temporarily off piste, what should one do?

I get as frustrated as anyone - except possibly certain moderators - at those who don't appear to read thread titles before posting, but I do think there needs to be some recognition of the sometimes non-linear nature of human thought processes and communication.

I suggest that if you are expecting a response (or several) then a new thread would be appropriate, especially if the topic you are raising is more than 1 standard deviation away from the subject in the thread title.

Thank you. Though I reckon that opening new threads on narrow issues is a bigger sin than occasionally going off topic.
Maybe there should be a way of linking threads, in a way that says 'I would like to comment on what you just said, but don't want to upset Edmundo, so I'm heading to another, possibly new thread, where we may continue our discussion'.

I seem to have lost the ability to access "Bold", "Italic", "emojis" etc. functionality within my posts and replies.
I can see the symbols at the top of the post window, but they're all greyed out.....

This follows on from being unable to view my notifications yesterday. (Got a message about cookies, when I hadn't made any changes to my settings......)
Not sure if the two are related.....

@Banana did an upgrade recently and I think some default settings changed. I'll take a look to see what can be improved but not right now
