The old forums was written in the late 90's, and we've tried to keep it going as long as possible, but the tech was getting so old it needed a complete rewrite.
Yes, it's going to have a few teething issues. We ran 5 weeks of testing, and there was no mention of the bugs you guys are finding, and for those that are experiencing, it does seem to be isolated cases.
To give you an idea of the testing:
We tested on :
- iPad 1, 2, mini, Pro, Samsungs, HTC, Mac (Pro, Air, etc), Windows machines
- Different versions of operating systems (Vista, Win8, Win10, Lollipop, Froyo etc)
- Many brands of browser (Safari, IE, Edge, Chrome, Firefox, Opera etc)
Literally thousands of tests.
If you're experiencing issues, then if we can reproduce the fault, it's easy to fix..
Most problems are caused by plugins such as privacy plugins, ad-blockers,pop-up blockers etc, as these fiddle with the page we're delivering, and can get incorrectly remove elements of the page thinking that they're adverts or something else.
If you're having a challenge, either post specifics, or email me specifics, and like all the other challenges reported so far, they'll be sorted out.
It literally is a case of if we all work together, we can make it work for the most crew.
If you are experiencing an issue, try (temporarily) turning of any browser plugs-ins and see if it works. If that's the problem, then let us know which plug-in, and we can download/install and try it out.
