So, I have tried from my Samsung phone and Iphone and the links to the most recent threads have disappeared. Has anyone else had this issue? I see them fine from my laptop. But I have not used my laptop in over a week...

It is because the home page now has a CSS view port selector - necessary to try and reverse our search engine de-listing problem. If the screen is under 940px, it hides the left hand side-bar.

What are peoples view here?

That explains why I have the same issue on my phone but not on my PC.

Okay!

I have implemented a mobile main menu on the entire site.

The latest forum posts are back again and are visible at the bottom of that menu. It is performing a really dirty javascript trick to lift the contents of the latest forum posts from where they live on the desktop version and mirror them on mobile menu - don't judge!

Your wish is my command *bows*

Nicely done, Chris. On a Gemini PDA/Phone/Nougat/Chrome, your new little menu gives full access to the site.

Since we are talking about site issues, I'm having problems logging in from random computers. First it was my Windows tablet. I would go through the whole process, and then at the end I'm redirected to the main page but still not logged in. I could log in using a private browsing tab, so I guess the issue might be on cookies somewhere. Now I'm having the same problem with my phone. Any hints?

What browser/OS? I've not seen any issues in Win64 Firefox, Edge or IE?

Chrome on Windows 10 for the tablet, and Safari on iPhone Xs (on iOS 12.3.1). After a few days it started working on the tablet again (probably cookies expired?) but not on the iPhone.

Well, I really don't know how to explain this. The steps are the same as logging in as usual. I usually check the "remember me" button so I don't have to log in all the time. But eventually it expires and I have to log in again. I go to the link to log in as usual, put my username and password in, then answer the I'm not a robot thing, click submit, then it goes to the next page with the Activesync icon, checking my login, and then I'm redirected to home, but not logged in (I still see Log-in | Register on the top menu). I don't get any error message about password, or anything else. It just doesn't work. If I try it again, same thing happens. Then, if I open an incognito window, and log in from there, it works.

I've just located something with Chrome 74 on it and was able to log in and out a couple of times just fine. There must be a this variable to what you are seeing.

Has anyone else had any problems?

New info. OK, I found a bug, but not one that would account for a successful logon problem.

If you put the wrong password in, it would take you through the ActiveSync screen and throw you back to the caller page. This was because the code for Google ReCaptcha was branched such that it would always execute. This means that it was overwriting the 'invalid password' fault code.

It would only happen if you typed the wrong password though!

You nailed it. In fact, for some reason (probably due to age...) I was putting the wrong password in, but since I wasn’t getting any feedback of wrong password, I thought the site was having problems with the login. In fact, the only problem was actually my password. Now it is all solved. Sorry for the inconvenience
