Joe knows about the wonky post displays. He will be looking at it as soon as he can.

It is fine on mobile (Android phone) at the moment. I’ll check on a PC in a few.

EDIT: still weird on PC.

I checked on my Android and while the posts look fine, the drop downs aren’t working properly.

Mine’s appearing like that too. The posts are to the very right, a huge gap of nothingness, and then the profile picture and whatnot

I’m having the same drop down problem, AD40.

If anyone is noticing any other forum weirdness, go ahead and add it here so Joe can have everything in one place when he logs on to tinker with the settings.

Ok, some posts are showing up like how I mentioned above, others are showing up with a huge white gap, a line, then the users post. The signatures are all over the place

As is always the case with updates they send everything wonky and its left to the site operators to spend hours contacting the help desk to get it all sorted. Probably gives the company folk something to do.

Interesting that some posts are showing up as normal, kind of like a game now of Quess Where The Post Lands. Who knows what issues the update caused.

Yeah, sorry everyone. I applied an update to Simple Press (the forum software earlier). There were also some updates to the theme, but they failed to apply. I had a quick check of the forum and it looked OK earlier today, but obviously somewhere along the line it became wonkified.

Updates are often cosmetic, but in this case it’s to comply with the new version of WordPress (with which the whole site is built). There’s a new version of WP every yearish, which has a lot of changes under the hood and means plugin authors (such as SP) have to rework things. I think that’s what happened here, though I don’t know a lot of the details.

Anyway, the theme updates did work now, so all should be back to normal. If things still don’t work hard-refresh your browser and/or clear your cache. If things still look odd, obviously leave a note here and I’ll take a look as soon as I’m able.

MMM – they did at least give us some warning.

Thanks AG for letting me know things were awry.

I’m on a tablet and the user stuff is sitting next to a vast expanse of white, then the posts are down below.

Fixed on my computer. I like when the forum goes strange sometimes since I know that it will be only temporary since Joe is really fast at fixing the sometimes very interesting problems.

@Mademoiselle Kitty >^..^< said
I’ve been PM’ing with SG about our draw-offs, but our replies don’t show up after a few posts. It’ll be fine the first 3 or 4 messages (it differs per thread), but then the next replies don’t go through and neither the sender nor the recipient can see the new replies. Very odd. It’s not just Chrome either; the same thing happens in FF and Safari.

I think I figured it out; it was because we were hitting ‘reply’ to our own PMs and you can’t send PMs to yourself. You have to hit ‘reply’ to the other person’s PM.

Post displays are back to normal for me, too.

On mobile, the “actions” drop down menu that has now changed to a button is really cool.

How do you empty a cache? Mine isn’t still looking normal, and I’m pretty bad with computer programming thingys.

Go to Google and type in clear cache and the name of the browser you are using. You’ll be able to follow the instructions just fine.

If you get stuck, let us know. Someone will help you.

Which browser are you using?

Same as deleting your browser history, @natureaker. 

Chrome

Firefox

Hooray, it worked!

and as for the browser I’m using, I amn’t too sure. The Google chrome and Firefox options didn’t seem to be on my computer. Actually had to dig through my desktop a bit until I found a “Clear Browsing History” button

I saw it too and was just like- it’s spreading a-hard-days-night-john-6. Thought it would be a bit pretentious to draw attention to it though a-hard-days-night-paul-10
