Jay 37,287 Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Hey gang,If you browse to the JWFan forums via a mobile device it should not automatically use a mobile version. It's pretty good, better than the old mobile version. There is a link at the bottom of the page to switch back to the "Full Version" if you prefer. (It will remember your settings if you are logged in).Speaking of the Full version of the forums - we now have 3 alternate skins you can pick from to if you don't like the default! You select them via the "Change Theme" link at the bottom of the page. Check them out and let us know what you think!Personally, I've been using "Delicate" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 These do not work.In fact the recent change has just made the site crap again, for me. I miss the old board. This one is shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,287 Posted September 23, 2011 Author Share Posted September 23, 2011 Define "do not work". What is the problem?Everything works great on my Firefox6/Windows 7 setup, and the mobile version works great on my iPhone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas 112 Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 These do not work.In fact the recent change has just made the site crap again, for me. I miss the old board. This one is shit.If you don't go forwards you go backwars!Again, we must install a new version and the old template are not compatible with this version. Many say: Don't touch a running system, but sometimes we must. Andreas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 I'm on iOS. The mobile view doesn't work.Every other website I visit displays fine - what with iPhones generally dominating the market an all. iOS is MASSIVELY catered for in this day and age, just not here. But never mind all that, it's gotten boring now. Just leave it as it is because I'm tired of moaning about what used to be a given on the last board.I realise I probably sound ungrateful, but I assure you I'm not. Just leave it alone.

Jay 37,287 Posted September 23, 2011 Author Share Posted September 23, 2011 "The mobile view doesn't work". What does that mean? You're not telling us anything.Can you click "Full Version" to get the normal site? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 The mobile version works! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Okay I've just noticed that the Mobile view option has been moved OUT of the "Themes" sub menu. I wasn't to know, was I? It was there last time I checked; now though it resides in the left corner of the page. Anyway, It works well on my iPod Touch, thank you. Sorry for the misunderstanding.iPad is still crap in desktop view though and still no post editing tools on EITHER device, but sod it. I'm the only one here using these devices so I'll just put up with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,287 Posted September 23, 2011 Author Share Posted September 23, 2011 Andreas, can you open a support ticket with Invision to find out why post editing tools don't show up on the iPad?Oh and Quint, can you confirm the post editing tools are missing from all 4 skins?

Quintus 5,399 Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Cheers Jason.I can confirm that they are absent from all themes and views. Also, what's been changed with the Delicate theme? Earlier it displayed perfectly on iPad, utilising the screen in full with perfect layout and font, but now the right side border is back again, it's shrunken the content down in size. Delicate and another theme (I forget the name) displayed the page just fine but now they don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,287 Posted September 23, 2011 Author Share Posted September 23, 2011 They only thing I changed on Delicate was to add the JWFan banner, and make the buttom say "Copyright Ricard L. Befan" instead of "Copyright Your Company Here", and removed a flowery icon they had on the left side of the bottom. But all of those changes should have been done before any non-admins got to see it, I think. So I dunno why its displaying differently now. Unless its the long JWFan banner....

Quintus 5,399 Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 It's definitely the banner. I've said it all along.But please just leave it as it is, I'll live with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,287 Posted September 23, 2011 Author Share Posted September 23, 2011 The banner is 1172x141. What's the horizontal resolution of an ipad - 1024x768, right? Maybe I can find a way to auto-shrink the banner based on user's resolutions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 I think that's what websites tend to do.Again, a screenshot which demonstrates the issue: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 I like the Delicate skin because it's the only one that separates the threads on the General Discussion main page with a line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricard 2,242 Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 The copyright note should be identical to the one at the bottom of the main page.Regarding the banner, could someone create a simple logo just for the forums, using the blue background that is displayed behind the current banner? I don't have the tools to do that right now.Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas 112 Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Hello,IPad/IPhone and RTE support.Sorry this is not a bug, Invisionboard don't support RTE (rich text editor) with IPad/IPhoneBut the next version will "fix" it.See the developer blog from Invisionpower:http://community.invisionpower.com/blog/1174/entry-6726-development-update-ipboard-323/----Of course, there are also numerous other bug fixes and improvements including more efficient Sphinx index building, iPad compatibility and more!----Andreas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeinAR 1,949 Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 I like them all, but I like the Simple Blue best.also it would be nice if we could have a Tintin version such as we have, and a War horse version as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed part of the background was just a little off (as well as the coloring when viewed in Firefox).Just uploaded a new file with a quick fix:http://i741.photobuc.../jwfan-logo.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricard 2,242 Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Thanks a lot! But both versions look identical to me... What's the difference?EDIT: I see, it's perfect now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacob 0 Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 My pleasure. And I'm more than happy to make further tweaks or help out in any other way I can.While I may not post a lot, I've definitely enjoyed being apart of this fan group over the years.A big (belated) thanks for getting the site back up (to Jason and Andreas also). Really like the forum upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Board is displaying perfectly now, thanks!One minor issue I've noticed is even though I'm using the Default theme just fine, whenever I close the browser (Safari) and reopen JWFan it "defaults" back to Mobile view, so I always have to manually reselect "Full Version" whenever I visit. No biggie, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 It has nothing to do with porn and everything to do with the solitary/ignorant conditions involved in sitting at a pc, alone, in another room. iPad means we can still sit together on the sofa. She watches tv and I can browse and post here. A little thing, very important to a woman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
