Looks g. Will we still be getting the occasional pop up ad?

Hope so ...how will Hobbo find a date otherwise

My first click on the desktop version gave me the pop up so, mystery solved

Hey @Kul

I know you're obviously busy with the updating, but is there any chance the quoting bug can be snuffed out as well?


quoting bug?

Let’s see if this shows it. With multiple quotes of posts, say I quote you and then someone quoted what I said, the name of quote seen is not me. Ie @mike The name shown is from a previous quote and not the name of the person they are quoting. So what happens it looks like a quote is attributed to the wrong person. It gets very confusing. Not sure if I have explained it well enough.

Nice pick up.
I thought you were talking about one particular poster that would post blank messages and to read them you would have to click quote and scroll back through the chat edit...

Just to confirm who did I respond to? Cultured Bogan who first noted the issue or Mike?

Also safari has the option of using “use reader automatically” which stops ads also.

@Kul YouTube videos are displaying as links rather than embedded videos.

I am just wondering if that donate link/portion or whatever it is, where is it? I can't find it and will it work now?

I have been trying to donate but gave up as the button doesn't seem to work. Can someone please let me know, many thanks.

Thanks Kul. Been doing great work for years on this forum.

The Forum support link (i think this is where you can donate) under “recent topics ” errors for me as well.
Any tips @Kul ?

Awesome work as always Kul.

Couple of things from me:

1. Any chance of a night mode?
2. Can we get pagination at the top of the thread too?

Night mode coming soon

I've setup the donations link to use "BuyMeACoffee.com" which is a well respected supporter and membership tool.

You can click on the link on the right or simply go to:
https://www.buymeacoffee.com/wtforum

There are two types of support you can give:
- buying a "supporter badge" (not a figurative badge)
- setup a monthly or yearly membership

it's all entirely voluntary and any support is appreciated.
To put things into perspective, the virtual server averages around $150 a month alone, but that obviously gets higher in the season. This doesn't cover the extras like security, real-time backups and some licence fees. Oh and the time spent maintaining the server, etc.

The project over the last few years was to get the server moved to Australia to make it more responsive. All in all, it's at a good place at the moment as we've got a fast, responsive design that seems to work well.

So any support would be great.

Having multiple error messages saying ‘invalid-event’ whenever I move to a new thread. New layout is nice though

try reloading the webpage or site - it was happening to me too but now it's all good after refreshing or reloading
