LOP Forums Questions/Feedback Thread

[Funker]

Well this is new.

[T.O.]

Is there a way to get the desktop view on mobile devices? I don't much care for the mobile view here.

Also, please ban Mazza. He smells.

[Prime Time]

There used to be, but I can't see the old way.

It also seems like there's a lot less difference between the mobile and desktop versions, which might explain why it's not so clear?

I'll keeping looking but bear with us while we're getting to grips with the new setup.

[The Dude]

It seems to keep logging me in and out. Cant tell if I'm logged in or not... Anyway this new site seems cool

[anonymous]

I have that issue too. Especially on my phone.

[Gooner]

Yeah same here, seems to be when I move into a thread or sub-forum it automatically logs me out, even though I have the "Remember Me" option enabled.

I'll get used to the new desktop view in time, just feels a bit jarring at the moment. At least the posts are still here! I remember last time there was a reset everything was deleted, if I remember correctly?

[anonymous]

That's correct. This has been a really smooth transition. Possibly the smoothest reset ever on the site. And we've had plenty.

That mobile's keeping me logged in now, which is nice.

[Prime Time]

Right - my current theory about the logging in-and-out is that it might be fixed now. Give it a couple of days and if it still keeps happening, come back to me.

Technically, the reason this is the smoothest is that it technically wasn't a reset. Given how much I've had to learn about this new software I'm pretty pleased it wasn't a full reset, too!

[Gooner]

Just a question, not sure if this is possible or not. Any chance the page numbers could be moved to the top of the page on a thread? Would save having to scroll down to the bottom of the first page to get to the latest posts (thread links are always directing me to the first post of a thread, not the latest, hence the question)

[Prime Time]

I don't think there is, but the page jump function is at the top of the thread so I'd advise using that. Next to Page, you'll see a grey box, if you type the number of the last page in there and hit return you'll jump straight to the last page (and you can obviously use any other number to accomplish the same thing, so long as there is a page 3, 4 or whatever).

[Gooner]

Yeah, I only mentioned it cos I'm a lazy bugger and I frequently not near my keyboard when I read LOP! No problem, I'll adjust easily!

[Degenerate]

Not sure who's responsible for these things, but can someone fix the logo that shows up on top of the forums? It's currently broken and it drives me nuts seeing a broken image every time I log in.

Also, I noticed that if you go to https://lopforums.com/ (without the www), the forums aren't accessible. That should be fixed to redirect to the correct URL, in case someone new tries to visit and just sees a vBulletin page saying there's no forum.

[mizfan]

I've noticed that too with the URL, I thought the forums were still down days longer than they actually were. Pete, any clue on this stuff?

[Prime Time]

I know the image is there on my home version, and not on my mobile, and that's confusing matters because it's clearly not just a broken image or link (or it'd never be there).

No clue on the link. I'm looking into it at the moment but not having much luck. Hopefully when my schedule clears I can sort it. I've also just checked and it doesn't do it for me (no www still redirects just fine) which again complicates things.

[Degenerate]

I think the image file and/or URL are cached on your browser, which is why you see it in one place and not another. Try using another browser or use them in Incognito/Private mode to check if you run into these issues.

The image is pointing to the old domain (http://lordsofpain.tv/) which doesn't exist anymore, it seems. That image needs to get replaced somewhere in the admin panel.

For the URL redirect, I found this support thread that I think will do the trick: https://forum.vbulletin.com/forum/vb...68#post4386068
