Forum Update Follow Up

[RadioactiveSpyder]

Kristi, thank you SO MUCH for your email assistance with my question about posting pictures from Photobucket and them now being clickable on the forum site. I indeed did not have my PB account fully locked, although I have noticed some quirky things still happening when clicking on mine or others pictures. It also took me a minute to realize the software update switched my avatar back to an older version I was using when I first joined! Keep up the good work guys! Cheers, Radioactive :D

If the photobucket pics were in HTML links, phpBB3 rejects raw HTML. On your photobucket pic posts, it looks like HTML special ampersand characters have been broken with a hash, which probably occurred for a reason but should not have been an issue.

I'd like to add that this forum finally runs great on Firefox mobile. In the past it did this weird thing where posts would be different font sizes but it's all smooth now.

My Photobucket pics are gone too.

I don't see the quick link back to the Spyderco website from the forum site. Is it gone completely or just moved somewhere else?

I also miss the desktop view on mobile as there're many information missing on mobile view such as thread starter, when it was started, etc.

It got lost in the update. We've put it back up though; you'll find it in the top left corner now next to the "Quick Links" and the "FAQ".

Here's my explanation that I posted in another thread in the Tech Support area:

There isn't a separate "version" for mobile. The software is responsive; meaning it reprioritizes content and modifies the design to fit on any given device on the fly. There are so many different devices (phones, tablets, hybrids, etc.) that using a "mobile" design doesn't work well anymore.

I'm sorry to say that I can't really alter what appears as it would be different depending upon what device someone is viewing on. I felt that a responsive site was the best choice for everyone.

I hope this helps with understanding.

Kristi

Thanks for the explanation Taz!
