Welcome to the new YachtForums!

There are no issues here that can't wait a couple of weeks or a month, or in most cases longer. It's really a matter of just making something that's very good even better.

Bummer.

There goes the Participation Trophy Generation members.

Better be careful or he'll make you return your t-shirt.

I haven't been able to skim the whole thread but I started to have an issue with the mobile version of YF, from a change that seems to have been implemented post launch. I keep having a banner Being displayed in the middle of the screen, making it impossible to access any of the threads for which the banner covers. Attached is a screenshot pertaining to what I am referencing.

Which page are you attempting to visit when you get that? What is the url? I'm using Android and having no issues. And as to the ad that is popping up for you, I'm seeing no ads at all. What browser?

Yes, he is on AT&T. Bet it's an iphone too.

As an aside, since not having the AT&T/Iphone problems, I find the performance of the site on the web, the fit of the content, to be great. It was ok before, but a significant improvement. Excellent speed. Ease of use.

P.S. Now I go to VBulletin forums and find it frustrating that it won't take you to the first unread post but you have to go down the entire page. Never bothered me before you changed and I got used to the new YF.

Plus conversations so much better than private messages. Especially private messages with a low message limit. Best thing is not having to quote to keep the thought going.

Well I was on wifi so I feel the network wouldn't matter. I'm using an iPhone 6. Trying to upload a photo from my iPad also makes the app crashed but I recon that's from using a third party browser and not Safari. Also the YF banner sometimes appears like this for me.

Have you tried Safari to see if you still have the problem?

I'm on many different Samsung products with Android plus a Surface with windows and no problems like you describe.

It seems fine on Safari but I don't use it as it's not very good. I have no problem on my iPad using the same browser, just on my iPhone. I'm just trying to report all the issues. Different problems come up under different conditions. You can't expect that everyone uses the same platform while browsing the internet.

FYI and SFS's, you could go to the first unread post on the old (vB) YF. After selecting "NEW POSTS" on the wood nav bar, you just had to click on the little button to the left of the thread title to go to the first unread post. You might look for that on the vB forums that you visit. (I hope they're not yachting-related sites; I think that might be against the unwritten rules.)

I know. That's what makes life so complicated. Interesting though to know it's not a phone issue or carrier, but rather something to do with the browser. What browser do you use?

Even on a computer I occasionally encounter sites that do not work right with Chrome, for instance, and I have to pull up IE.

The check mark...how silly that I never knew that. Thanks. And they aren't yachting related. In fact, sort of the anti-yacht if anything.

I'm using a browser called Mercury for my iPhone and iPad. It defaults to mobile safari as the browser identifier so that also makes me wonder why there are issues. It also allows you to request different versions of the site under conditions such as Safari desktop, different versions of Firefox, etc. It's just a lot more powerful than the standard options or even using chrome for the iPhone and iPad. I always have to use Internet explorer for all my firms applications but everything else, Chrome serves me best.

The browser identifier is just a disguise. It doesn't change that it's Mercury and not Safari. I've read of a number of problems since the update to 8.7.2. Most of them center around the adblock not working right since the update of IOS to 8.0.2. Wish I knew more about it to help you but there do appear to be others experiencing some quirkiness in the last couple of weeks.

AArrgghhhhh...............Trying to upload a photo is a nightmare.

The old way was perfect.

Also there no Post Preview to check the photo has loaded correctly.
