I see what you mean. I will alert tech.

I think that may have been IBobi who edited or deleted your post. Keep in mind that we are also not volunteer moderators, but paid employees of DVD Talk's parent company. Also, I'll PM you.

You're right, it was IBobi - I got you two confused. My fault. I understand that as paid employees of IB, you're not volunteer moderators, but anyone in authority treating users this way is unacceptable, IMO. I'll look forward to your PM.

Edited to add: IBJoel did contact me and provide a much-appreciated explanation. Some content of my post broke a rule I wasn't aware of.

It should be doable. I'll ask tech.

Editing posts in iOS safari, at least trying to add in formatting codes like bolding and such, is pretty much not possible. Have tried mobile and full site version. I select a word to add a formatting code, and if I try to drag the slider to select the text I want to affect, it selects the whole page.

Didn't notice this yesterday, but today - in the Politics forum - all apostrophes are showing up as boxes (ansii ??). Haven't seen it in other forums I view. I'm using Vivaldi on my PC.

edited to add: Just checked the same post in Firefox - and it's fine there. Maybe a browser issue.

What browser was the problem in? IE/Edge?

Are you using the mobile skin on iOS or desktop skin?

I spoke with tech and this cannot be fixed, unfortunately.

Should be good now

Vivaldi

I have informed tech of the text editing issue.

The "Stay Logged In" box has disappeared, but you should just be staying logged in by default (unless you are incognito/private). I will investigate.

Jesus this looks like shit.

Ha, if you can do any better, contact IBJoel for a job and make it look the way you want.

Few settings adjustments and I’m fine with the changes. Not as hyped about the changes needed to accommodate more ads, but I know this shit’s free, so I’m fine with it.

It was very sluggish yesterday. I haven't checked it on Firefox since.

Positive comment: As kefrank noted already, I do like separation between sticky threads and regular ones.

shutting off the infinity thread bullshit is key.

From my testing on FF today, it seemed to be up to speed, even while running Chrome.

Now I don't have either navigation bar, which isn't really a problem for me, but it's probably not what you want.

it's not the ads, it's the white space with no ads that is the problem. the site looks absolutely terrible now and i really don't enjoy it as much with this unlimited scrolling, everything looks bunched up and the damn white space.

i did a system restore to a week ago, but nothing changed

Thank you.

Try posting a screen shot of your whole screen.

Mine looks like this



The space on the right is for ads that support the site. Sometimes the space is blank. This is how it is now.

You can turn off the unlimited scrolling.

This. It reminds me of when we launched the website for our local softball and t-ball programs. The site we used was free, but the ads overshadowed the content. (Once we determined parents were going to use it, we decided pretty quickly to pay the money to upgrade and dump the ads.)

The ads across the top, down the side, and between posts all at the same time are annoying. It just means I have to retrain my eyes to ignore them and reprogram my muscle memory when clicking. I do find it humorous to have the same ad in all three positions at once though. That is a bit much.

But, if you aren't buying it means you are the product. My guess is we will eventually see a re-launch of paid memberships that will clear out all (or most) of the ads.
