Forum down again?

[Cleoriff]

Just putting this up in case others are having problems... but can read topics...

The forum was offline for me (Midlands based) for 3 hours this morning 7am -10am. I could actually see that some members who live in the North were able to log on...

Happening a lot just lately and not sure if Forum Management are aware?:smileysad:

Short, sharp, clear!  Love it.   So may I ask  how you know that the standard font fits?  Or is that just an educated and skillful guess @viridis?

If I'm on mobile data and it's not too fast, the standard font loads instead of the custom one.

When it does the drop downs fit.

Thank you @viridis  I lives and I learns.

Not sure if I was expecting a miracle overnight....but if so I was disappointed.

The font text boxes are still too small with unreadable text.

However, the other issue of inserting a link when sending a PM was resolved (for me) earlier in the week.

To make it clear I only ever attempt this when using laptop or tablet. I never do it when using my mobile...

Not fixed for me on mobile whether using stock, ff or chrome. The issue is fixed for me using Chrome on the laptop, though ff gives the ongoing issue.

[Cleoriff]

I don't have Chrome on my laptop @jonsie and as Ray sets up all ours I wont even bother

He is resistant to all comments such as 'but we have Chrome on our mobiles and my Tablet'....

He just replies 'Yeah....so what?'.....

Contrary to expectations..I do know when to bite my tongue and just carry on

Firefox is About to Become an Almost Complete Copy of Chrome

by Chris Hoffman on September 11th, 2015

Mozilla Firefox is due for some big changes soon. By the end of 2015, Firefox will move to a more Chrome-like multi-process design. And, in a year to a year and a half, Firefox will abandon its current add-on system for one largely compatible with Chrome extensions.

These aren’t necessarily bad changes — in fact, they’re arguably big improvements. But Firefox seems to be abandoning its big advantage and becoming even more Chrome-like. The list of reasons to use Firefox over Chrome is shrinking.
