Foot.ie Update

Couple of things have popped up whilst using the full-site on my phone, last week I couldn't post which I got over and just resisted but as of yday, every time I click on any link on the page even it's just a page number, I get sent to Amazon. It's almost like the right hand side of the page is one giant link for Amazon.

One thing I am missing though is the original mobile site which was so easy to use and navigate around.

Also New posts aren't showing up as bolded on the main /forum page so I am missing out on things all the time.

I noticed the Amazon thing myself, seems to be a bad IFRAME embed, I'll take a look at it later in the week. I can only run one mobile theme, and although this one has it's shortcomings, in my view it's better overall. I'll need feedback from other people if I'm to revert. The lack of read notifiers is as a result of the features that I've switched off for performance reasons, these'll be back later in the week or early next week. I have to move another service off this machine, and it's a critical one so I can't rush it.

I am experiencing some problems with the site since pre the server upgrade you had on the banner last week which havent come right post upgrade.

The site isnt keeping unchecked/unread threads in bold for me, or when I refresh the page, all threads on that page lose their bold, thus making it difficult to remain up to speed with discussions I am following. The 'View First Unread' function - when available - has been inaccurate.

The drop down navigation menu on the bottom right has vanished, and the skip to 'top' function also. I found these really useful when getting round the site, now I have to always scroll up to the top of the page and return to 'Forum' to got to a new section.

Apologies if all or some of this has been covered in the previous pages, only had time for a skim through it.

Anyone else missing the drop menu ?

Will the what's new search function be back, adam?

im still getting the scroll bars and whereas i used to be able to leave the site and still have unread threads showing as unread when i returned, now it seems to mark all threads/forums read when i leave and return and even sometimes while i am still in foot.ie (e.g. I click into a thread and come back out and all threads in that forum are showing as read). Its actually gotten a lot worse since the initial upgrade.

Getting the unread thing aswell stu.

Me three.

Sorry lads, still haven't moved that server. Bit busy atm, I'll get to it this weekend.

Noticed strange behaviour since the last update
Normally, when I log in to the site, all the unread posts are left unread if I don't open them, and I can come back and check them later
But recently, it looks like logging in marks everything as read and I'm missing new posts

So, say there's a new entry in the "Say anything, whatever's on your mind thread", but I don't click the "go to most recent post" button and leave the forum
When I come back, that thread is marked as read, with no new posts, even though I haven't read it.

Just me or anyone else?

I think it's the same for everyone until all the functionality is turned back on after the server move or whatever is happening. This combined with not being able to just hit "what's new" to view the most recent posts has made me almost stop coming onto the site at all over the last week or so.

Bit like that. I just check the main league one

Me too.

and yet we're all in here.... ;)

Ouch. That's a bit close to the bone when you're talking to somebody from Inchicore!

Used to come up at the bottom of threads.

Is this gone or is it just me??

All of these features are temporarily disabled. They'll be back soon.

The new mobile profile is starting to grate ever more. I cant change back to full site either on my phone or pc.

When I click the full site link it brings me back to /forum and then when I click on settings I an then sent to a mobile style page which tells me that those settings aren't available in that profile.
It's very frustrating.

Sorry if this has been explained before but why is searching disabled at the moment?

See above. Had to postpone again this weekend, hoping to get to it tomorrow. Moving a nameserver is a pain in the hole.
