Hey guys, Mobile fonts should now be fixed. Looked good on my end, as well.

(It's fine on the desktop version. ^)

After posting new message, thread reloads oldest messages

I have the forum set to show me the newest message in a thread. When I enter a thread, it shows correctly. When I post a message, it reloads the forum and shows me the oldest message.

Using full site, not mobile skin. Ipad, safari 12.4.

We are currently working on this and I just asked for a status update. I'll let you know when I hear something.

Full site is completely broken in MobileSafari with an adblocker. Blank page. Clearing cache and resetting to the mobile site works.

Yes, I am a horrible person for using an adblocker. Except you guys suck in your ad vetting; Im pretty sure that $1000 Amazon gift card or iPhone I allegedly won is a spam ad. I wont remove adblockers if you guys allow spammy clickjacking ads in your ad network. Sorry not sorry.

They are not rare - they are used a lot. If they were rare and held important information for a short time, then highlighting would have some merit

Secret Santa is not important - it is someone's game - Even if announcing it was important, there is no way that such an announcement is important for 2.5 months .

It is a global announcement, so is intrusive on all pages and is set to be in place for time period Sep 2, 19 until Nov 23, 19

That is an announcement that has been set up for 83 days

Either - there should be proper controls in place on announcements to (a) limit to things that are important and (b) limited to a sensible timefrane or should not be being intrusive

Not sure this is meaningful but with Safari on IOS I can briefly see the rendered text before the page turns white.

Hi everyone, Safari+ABP should now be usable again. As always, clear/bypass your cache if it's not working right away.

I'm getting frequent reports from FF that
"A web page is slowing down your browser" -- hangs for 5-10-15 seconds and then clears.

FF 69.0
W10 laptop
cable ip
no ad blocker or other browser helper

These did not appear before yesterday
Not seeing on any other web site, just FT

Doing - quoting, posting replies, ....

For now using the Simple Editor, have not revert back after yesterday editor issues

Congrats!

For Chrome users like me, are we supposed to get these horrible orange buttons? Everything is blue and white still on Chrome AFAICT.

Still have the posting-returning-to-last page issue, of course.
