Ok. What have I done wrong?

port perran · December 13, 2018, 08:58:54 AM

I have a coule of threads, Server Upgrade included, where there is no reply button available to me.
Have I pressed something to hide it?

And.....maybe I'm going mad but what has happened to the donation button ?

All looks OK to me, stil a bit slow, probably 'cos they're still working on it. Another forum I use did a server change about the same time as this one, based in Denmark, it was all done overnight,that gallery has a load of music as well as images.

Very odd, nothing should be missing on some boards and not others. Have you tried to 'force resfresh' your browser on those pages?

port perran · December 13, 2018, 12:07:56 PM

Thanks Tank. Tried that and it's the same.
If I open up the Server Grade thread I get only the add bookmark, notify and print buttons. Cannot see a reply button.
It's okon nearly all threads, just a few where this is happening.
No sign of the donations button.
I'm using ipad and iphone and they are both the same.

So....I thought I'd try it on my laptop....just in case.
Exactly the same....some topics have no reply button and no way to make a donation.
Is it just me......?

It's all ok here

"Make A Donation" button showing up fine for me over on the top right of the page to the right of the crumb trail.

Crumb Trail - had to look that up!
But no button here.

Strange, I get it on all pages. Would post a piccie but of course that's still temporarily out of order. It's the topmost advert on the column of ads on the right of the gray text panels.

You're not set to some sort of Mobile theme for the web page layouts instead of the normal page theme perhaps?

Just checked mysettings and I can't see anything unusual.
I have thought of setting up a new user ID just to see if it works ok as a new user.
What do you think.

port perran · December 14, 2018, 08:22:52 AM

many thanks to the team for the server upgrade.
Things certainly seem to be faster here.
As the gallery is back, I've taken a screenshot of the server upgrade thread (as I see it). You'll note the absence of a reply button.

Plus, as you can see, no Donations button (not even if I scroll right a bit).

Interesting. What browser is that?

Is that at full screen width? Yours is a bit narrower than mine by the look of it
[edit]Though even narrowing mine right down to minimum doesn't lose the Reply button [/edit]

Here's what I'm getting this morning @ work:

Hi @port perran , do you have some kind of ad-blocker active?

Dorsetmike · December 14, 2018, 10:13:00 AM

Have you tried using a PC and monitor instead of a handheld device?

I'm now on my laptop and it's exactly the same.

As for ad blocking - none as far as I'm aware and I'm assuming that settings on a PC wouldn't transfer to an ipad and vice versa ?

It's that right hand block (as per ntpntp's photo) that I'm not seeing. It's not a real problem for me except that I can't make a contribution towards the new server etc.

I shall investigate further but I presume no one else is experiencing this ?
