I haven't posted pictures yet, but I lost a post last night- acted like I lost my internet but I didn't. My post never made it up.
Also seems sometimes a completed post will be a thin strip. The line will be 5 characters wide and the post a page long. I think it happened to me once.
Otherwise I guess it's ok.

The last post still shows up funky. Either one word or one syllable per line. If I flip my phone sideways it changes the format and is easier to read.*

I can't see last post of a thread either on my iPhone, don't have a computer, just operate off the phone!

Just another reason for them to include a "desk top view" button! I hate the limited view that is provided to mobile devices. The mobile view is to save data usage for mobile devices, but I do not care, I like for the most part to see the full desk top view. Most sites that force you to a mobile view provide a button to allow the end user to select the desk top view.

You are onto something there JR, tried that this morning and it solves the scrunched text issue on my Moto X. It only bothers on the latest post of an active thread.

Snoking, try that on yours...

The Cadillac Forum offers the desktop view but only for 90 days. It then defaults to the Mobile Device view. You then have the option of selecting another 90 day desktop view.

Yes turning the phone horizontal makes it readable. turn it back vertical and it is again screwed up.

Still no "desk top view" button!

I will address the issues with the last post not showing up. I have four different Android devices including 2 tablets, but no iPhone, so iPhone testing was done through an emulator --- and the problem didn't show up there. I found a company which lets me view the site with any iPhone model, so I'm going to be using that to help resolve the errors.

Other widespread issues will be resolved as well but keep in mind there is no desktop view to switch to --- it's all one adaptive theme.

 

[TDRAdmin4]

Okay, I believe I have the last post issue resolved, at least on the iPhone 6. I'll test others next.

Appears OK now on moto x. Snoking

Blur the background pic 15-20%. That would encourage the 'eyes' to focus on the foreground.

A real bug: in the textmessage entry boxes, sentences are line-broken in the middle of words; they should break on whitespace. (firefox/iceweasel on debian jessie.) 20 years and website designers *still* have to add special-case code for browsers that don't work right.

 

[SnoKing]

Where is this add coming from?

#ad

 

[TDRAdmin4]

Google ads. We don't (yet) have ad creatives from direct TDR sponsors which fit on small mobile screens, that is on the table to be done now that we have a theme which can accommodate them.

Which version of Firefox? Seems for some reason Linux users according to our logs are more likely to run older versions. Let me know which so I can try to duplicate it. Thanks.

The background image is gone, so that part is kind of a moot point.

I don't know if it's just me, but from my Android phone I am unable to choose which generation truck forum ie: 1st, 2nd, 3rd...

 

[TDRAdmin4]

I don't follow....? I'm not sure I understand, because you were able to navigate into this section and to the software its the same as any other section. Can you clarify and I'll try to duplicate what's going on.
