Seems there are issues with your https?

Those are mixed content warnings. It happens because some remote avatars use HTTP instead of HTTPS. While the site itself is fully HTTPS those avatars are loaded with HTTP triggering those warnings.

The solution is to disallow remote avatars or force them over HTTPS.

I’ll get on it.

Ha. Trust me to log in at that time. All good then

I just noticed that at least on mobile Safari, Show Reader View does not seem to work. It is grayed out and even if you activate it in Website Settings on the same drop-down the site still refuses to go into dark mode. When you check the site late at night on your phone, the bright white background is a bit of an eye burner.

Until a few days ago, when I came to the site it would list the 5 or 6 recent threads. Now it doesn't. I don't think I changed anything. This was a really useful setting as I can't be bothered looking through sections and whatever on such a slow moving forum. Not sure why this feature would be removed.

It’s glitching. It will come back but it needs fixing.

I miss that feature too. Good luck with it!

This Hidden Comment (for members only) is a pain in the ass - forcing people to log in so as to read a thread pushes people away. And having to enter a question now to log as well? I'm not sure how putting obstacles in the way of people is going to encourage use or participation.

Might drop back once you've sorted it all out.

It's a hard life.

There’s no such thing. The question is for signups and guest posting.

Which nicely demonstrates that forever grumbling Londo has been a use of the guest function.

Any ETA? Even Gonk's forum has this working.
