    So, I arrived to work this morning, opened Boards as normal, and my pages looked like the picture labelled "normal"

    At about 0720 or so, they all changed to look like the one labelled "weird".

    You seem to be logged out in the second one, does it stay the same if you log in?

    [edit]
    NVM, the guys already said this! Dunno what happened there, maybe I was working off a page I'd loaded before!

    I noticed something odd when using Chrome, all private forums are visible under each category which is very weird. Still can't access them though

    Has something been changed. I used to have sticky header activated and when I minimized my window to a smaller size than full screen it was still stickied but now it unstickies if I go below a certain size. This wasn't the case as recently as ten minutes ago. Why the change?

    Widths below 960px no longer get the sticky header.

    If your browser viewport is below 960px wide then the page you're trying to view will have a horizontal scrollbar. Scrolling horizontally does not move the sticky header to the right, so you can't get to My Forums/Sys/Tech or even the login/signup buttons. Please see this bug report

    The rationale behind it is right below the part you quoted.

    So rather than someone having to increase their window size momentarily to log in, I have to constantly scroll back to the top to access my usercp? Poorly thought out in my opinion. You haven't considered how this might affect others in your attempt to appease one or two people. :mad:

    Your browser is saying it's IE7, you must have compatibility mode turned on... Is the little broken page icon in your address bar blue? If so click it and it will turn off compatibility mode.

    Not sure whether this has been discussed already but can you spot the difference when using an iPad?

    LOGGED IN

    NOT LOGGED IN

    So when I'm logged in the grey bar with the forum/thread doesn't scroll with you but when you are not logged in, it does scroll with you.

    That's expected, the sticky header is on by default, but you have it turned off in your personal settings. Hover over your name in the header and choose "Appearance Settings", you can turn the sticky header on and off there

    Oh you mean the sticky header. The guys already said they disabled it completely on the iPad because it wasn't working properly (which I can confirm). I guess it only applies to when you are logged in.

    Did something strange happen to cookies? Some threads think it's about 5 days ago.

    It is possible it may have been on my end, but nothing I did deliberately.

    I went into various Cool Vids & Pics & Links threads by clicking 'go to first new post' and it brought me to 24 October, e.g. on this thread, I ended up at post 302: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056783214&page=21 whereas last night I had gone as far as post 452

    It could be that your posts per page is set differently to the default and will have different effects depending on whether you are logged in or not.

    Not sure if this relates to New Look (I'm on the new dark) or not...

    Loaded my CP about 30 mins ago; showed new threads correctly. However, clicking on any thread gave '503 Service Unavailable'.

    Tried loading a random forum; loaded OK. Clicking on a thread gave another 503.

    Logged out; same 503 on clicking on any thread.

    Closed browser (FF 16.0.2) and reloaded; signed in again; same 503 on clicking on a thread.

    During this session, while clicking on one of my subscribed threads again, I got a long timer (c. 30 secs) after which the thread loaded OK. Normal response time and no more 503 errors after this.

    Not your ornery onager

    That seemed to be happening to everyone AFAIK. Site was down between midnight and 1:40am (approx)

    Ta. Didn't notice anything if Feedback about it, so posted here instead.

    Also, my updated subscribed threads list is showing way less than the actual number of updated threads.

    We had some hamster issues beginning at approximately 12:15am and getting steadily worse until 1:55am. The cause is currently being looked in to.

    Several months ago a banner popped up suggesting that my browser is no longer supported and that I should update to IE8 or some other.

    I am running IE8 on WinXP-SP3 and have reinstalled etc. and the 'old browser' popup still pops up if I try New Beta.

    Now, it seems I can't view or upload PDFs. I get an error saying "Format error: not a PDF or corrupted."

    XP originally has a lower version of IE so I suspect that a registry setting which has remained untouched might need changing.

    Any suggestions?

    Just a quick suggestion, not sure if it has been mentioned. Can you make it easier to access social groups? Maybe by having them show up in instant search when you start typing the name? Thanks :)

    No suggestions - vonderful.

    However, problem solved and guess what...


    ...it was a registry based problem.
