I made few changes to the forum to make it better work with mobile devices and tablets. Even on the desktop you will see the screen rearrange itself when you make your browser window smaller. When previously content would be cut out, it now moves below or hides behind a button ('Forum Navigation', 'Sidebar').
I tested it as much as I could, but obviously it is not possible to cover all the devices used by the members. If you see a problem with the new skin, please PM me with the details (a screenshot would be great).

You can also go back to the old style if required. Click on the 'planetFigure fluid' link on the bottom left blue menu bar and select the Desktop option (see the attached image for location)

It works much better on my iPad now, switches about a bit but only seconds to obtain the largest and clearest display. Don't miss hitt buttons as much now. If only I could access the emoticons it would be perfect but that is the iPad not the forum. Many thanks :)
 
Thank god I saw this thread, I was checking my Ipad settings to see if I accidently changed something!

I changed back to the desktop style, the new look was too large for my liking, but its good to have the option.

Thank you,

Cheer's,
Jeff.
 
I use an iPad but didn't notice any big changes....strange.

Just one small thing: in my display the tabs for eg. Inbox and Alerts are now in light grey font over light blue background, which is a bit unclear to read.

Thanks for your work on running and maintaining the site.

Cheers,
Adrian
 
Seems to be better on my phone but on my PC the whole forum has gone down to a micrscopic font size which is unreadable, what have I done and how to I reverse it to legible text size

Mark thanks, it's not the settings on the site, I know I pressed a weird comb of keys on the office laptop two weeks ago and the site shrunk to a microscopic font, the whole page.
This was before the new changes, so it was me.
Nothing else is affected you see, so even with my new seconds, I'm buggered to be able to read 'owt
Cheers mate

Paul,

Try going to 'Settings' in your browser. There should be a selection for 'Text' (or screen & text).
That should give you the option to adjust the text to a readable size.

It used to be fine on my I-phone but now the pics in one column overlap the column next to it which used to only happen when Ron T. posted his bases.:love:
