I am working on the site during the day (Wednesday) so there may be slight changes each time you login.
-
Just a few! My eyes hurt.
-
does not view very well on an Ipad

Works well on my non-Apple smartphone. I like it - much cleaner than before. However this is probably due to the lack of adverts which I'm sure will change once the tinkering has stopped.
-
You know if you're working on the site we're bound to sign six players today!

Im using Mozilla firefox and finding that this box doesn't seem to continue off the screen meaning that the text is not wrapping on to the next line. Is anyone else experiencing this or is it just this borwser?

I'm using Firefox too and it all looks fine to me.

I have it running on three differing screens using Google Chrome, Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox, with no problems (l am still working on the layout theme and colour).

Weird..... when i type a sentence and it gets towards the end of the screen, rather than wrapping to the next line, it just continues and disappears off the screen so i cant see anything after and dont know if there are mistakes im making etc. Like now, ive typed this and its has disappeared off my screen after the word "CANT" so I have no idea what im typing and if it makes sense lol
-
Looks great on my iPad.
-
Gave me a shock!
-
Just switched to IE 9 from mozilla and all is well :D
-
Feels much nicer so far.
-
I have to admit, it does look a lot better than before.
-
Looks lovely..well done Martin

I have had the same problem for about a week,don't know if it is something Martin has done but it has stopped when i came on the site today. Take a bow Martin.

don't like dark orange /red colour used for name. Change it please :)
-
Not too keen on the orange names. The rest is excellent, Martin.
-
Bit of an odd thing happens when you quote a post. Trying to edit it down so that only the relevant bits are kept, the reply window doesn't wrap. Using IE9.
And are you still on the non-secure version? Are Wikileaks about to pounce on us?
-

Not finished yet, still working on all the bits and pieces.

Mobile theme installed.
I can't expand the pages on an iPad with finger strokes or whatever you call them on the mobile site, very odd, is this a Mobile site 'feature'?
Works perfectly on the full site.
-
Will we get our locations and signatures back?
-
viewing from my laptop (win7/chrome) the frame for entering posts does not word wrap and scrolls right when I hit the right edge of the viewable section. It's as if it has lost its width property.
If I hit 'preview' the preview frame does wordwrap but appears offset and truncates the first 8 characters or so on the left hand side (throughout the post).
-
No scrollbar on the RHS of the posting box when modifying or replying to a post.

Just tried on ipad2 in Safari and Google full site and Mobile, and on iphone3s full site and mobile, and finally a Huawei 300 android phone full site and mobile, quoting worked as I expected.
-
I'm on an iPad original, and what I hold have said was wrapping wasn't working. I tried it on pelty/transfer thread, and as soon as I quoted, the thing stopped wrapping. It made trying to edit it a nightmare.

Is it okay in Mobile version?

Doesn't work anymore via Safari on iphone4. Message comes back of "too many redirects occurred"
.net home page ok but the forum doesn't work
-
I'm getting the top half of a page loading immediately, then the bottom half (with all the info on it) loading, shall we say, at its leisure. This is on a PC with IE9 Windows 7 and an iPad Safari.
-
Just tried it on ipad2, iphone3 and 4 with safari. Iphone2 in google, and an Huawei ascend300 all without error.
-
You own a lot of gadgets!

iphone4 and ipad2 our my daughters (she is at work!) iphone3 was Stevens old one, and the Huawei I just got :-)
All useful for testing!
-
At 19:57 I refreshed this page. Everything at the top loaded, then the claret band (but no page of thread info) and the Heroes Links menu on the left, immediately.
Then at 20:03 the rest of the page loaded with the page numbers, title and posts.
This is on an iPad, but it's identical on a PC. The ipad is on wireless, the PC wired. I restarted the router just in case. All other websites are loading super fast.
Is it some funky BT issue that's taken exception to H&V? Or is there some sort of delay reading the DB? It looks as though it's not widespread or others would be whining like me :-)
-
That took 8 minutes to fill the screen after pressing post. I'lll stop now, honest.

To any Moderators.
Having problems logging into the Heroes Prediction league, again.
It must be something i am doing but i cannot find out what. I have had to change my password 3 times recently, the latest time about ten mins ago, put in the new password that was sent to my e-mail and still cannot log on. Help very much appreciated.
Cheers, danlanza.

Any chance of a button to go straight to the first post you haven't read on a thread on iPhone?

There is talk of one in next version.
For now l use [Search] then the 'grid' icon on bar by 'logged in as:' select 'Unread Posts' then 'Done' find topic you want and select the arrow > on the right.
-
Ok thanks.

Is anyone having trouble viewing the mobile version of this site? Mine was fine but for the last few days I can only get the main site on my phone?
-
Sure you're logged in? Apologise if that's stupid.
-
Yeah, I never log out yet it seems to have switched from the funky mobile version to the main version, still usable but not as mobile friendly. Maybe there's a setting somewhere that I have inadvertently changed.
-
Sorted it, I am indeed stupid.

Doesn't work anymore via Safari on iphone4. Message comes back of "too many redirects occurred"

H&V has been working fine on it for ever, but this week I can't get on.....any ideas please ?

I am all about the Open Source Android myself, but give this is a spin:
Symptoms
When trying to view a website using Safari, you may see the alert message: "Could not open the page. Too many redirects occurred trying to open (website name)." This may occur if you open a page that is redirected to open another page, which is then redirected to open the original page.
Resolution
This issue is typically caused by the website you're trying to view, not by Safari. Safari may be able to open the website at a later time, when the website's redirect problem has been corrected.
Occasionally, the issue might be caused by an interaction with Safari. The issue may also occur because redirect information has been retained beyond its useful life. In some cases, resetting Safari may allow you to regain access to a website. To do that, follow these steps:
Choose Safari > Reset Safari.
Only check "Remove all cookies" and "Empty the Cache."
Click Reset.
If the issue persists, sending feedback to the affected website may help. You can also send feedback to Apple by choosing Safari > Report Bugs to Apple.

Thanks, I have tried all of this, including clearing my history, cookies and cache.
Have turned mt ipad off and on but still having no luck.
The message 'too many re-directs' eventually pops up....the address bar references H&V mobile, I'll try and make a note of it when I get home tonight.

I always use google chrome for this site on my ipad and have never had any problems.

Is there a link to the mobile site anywhere? I clicked in to the desktop site through my phone and now can't get back to the mobile site.

Hi,
Could the button to move up a level be placed lower down (and on the right) please ? When I've finished reading a page I have to scroll up to the top to get to the button again and given the size of smartphone screens, it's a stretch to reach!
Ta
-
I think that's a good idea, Drummond. Having to scroll up to the top each time to go back to the list of threads is a bit awkward, so the ^ button being at the bottom right of a page would be a good move.
Also, I know it's come up before, but has there been any more consideration given to including a Tapatalk plugin?
-
Agree with the comments above.
One way round the issue is to use the Opera Mini browser in which you get to the top of the age with a flick gesture. It is also a lot faster than the android stock browser, on my low end phone anyway.
-

I am looking at a modification that will allow me to do this.

I will look at this again, but the last time l looked, it involved a number of manual edits to be done, which may cause conflicts with other mods, and l do not want any hassle.
-
Don't worry, us Mods will not give you grief.
-
Thanks Martin. The Home button would be good to have at the bottom too.... :-)

Mods, can I have my name changed to Seb_AVFC please? Cheers.
-
Sorry; I just put out the txt for the save the children bit of the Commonwealth Games and then remembered I should have asked first.
I hope it is all right. Apologies for not checking but it was rather a thing of the moment.
-
In the next few days l will be removing the current 'mobile' version as it is now a few years out of date. I will be installing the latest version shortly.
For those who have asked about Tapatalk, l have looked at it again, but l am still not keen as the software will allow Tapatalk to display adverts or links the extent of which l would have no control.
I can look at installing both versions, providing there are no conflicts in the running of the forum as a result.
-
Latest mobile version now installed.
Although the colours are blue/white/grey at the moment, l will change them to the same as this site once l am happy it is working okay.
-
Seemed to be working OK on ios8 earlier.
-
Don't like it!
Why us it now even harder to go to the 'home' page?
I was hoping the home and up a level buttons would be at the bottom rather than top of the page now as well. Is it possible?
Sorry to moan.
-
Just another quick point, why on the home menu can't all the forum areas be expanded? I liked to look at them all to see where new stuff was but now all but one is collapsed at a time.
-
Quite like the new mobile layout.
-
Can the name of this thread be changed? When it is early in the day and I haven't put my glasses on yet it looks as if it is called "This Shite"
-
I can't get videos to work in the new App.
-
Text is too small for my old eyes. Can still just about read original posts but not quoted ones.
To be fair I probably need glasses but can still read newspapers and other sites etc. without them.

Increase the font size on your laptop.

I used to be able to see the latest posts along the left hand side of my screen, it has now gone. I assume its something gone awry in my profile but I cant seem to be able to adjust it. Can anyone help please?

Can we have a new dedicated sub heading in Off Topic for Travel? i.e. similar to the one there now for Music?

I think a separate one for film and telly would be good. I reckon more people watch films/TV than play games, for instance.
Could include the general TV/film threads where people would be expected to avoid giving away massive plot twists, and specific threads (eg the Breaking Bad, Making a Murderer and Star Wars ones) where people can post what they like.

The fabulous 'heroes and Villains' imprimatur has disappeared.
I just logged out for 18 hours, logged back in again and it has gone. I get the words in a bigger but regular and boring font.
This happened about Monday.
Thought you would like to know.

I was gone for me as well and my error catcher was giving a 503 error on it when the page loaded for a few days. I meant to report it but I figured someone would've noticed before me.
-
Good to know I was not alone :)
-
I use Linux Mint and in last weeks updates it gave me Firefox 52.0.
Now when I log into the site i get the following message 'This connection is not secure. Logins here could be compromised.'
When I click on Learn More I get this page......... https://support.mozilla.org/t5/Protect-your-privacy/Insecure-password-warning-in-Firefox/ta-p/27861
I don't use my password anywhere else, but is it possible for someone to hijack my details from here and then pretend to be me on other sites?
-
The risks are fairly minimal, the warning is simply because you're logging in to a site that is served via http: instead of https:
The main risk from this is if you have someone on the same local network as you who interrupts the request and alters it before letting it get to you. In a private broadband scenario, so long as you're connection isn't compromised, that's a fairly low risk.
There's a blog post from Mozilla about the reason for the change (it was actually in V51) - https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2017/01/20/communicating-the-dangers-of-non-secure-http/
I don't know if moving to https: is an option for the site but there would be a cost involved in getting the certificates for it.
-
Thanks for that Paul. My mind is a bit more at ease now.

Can create certs for free if required:
https://letsencrypt.org/ (https://letsencrypt.org/)
With Shell access can set them up up to auto renew, so minimal maintenance also.

Hi Martyn,
Noticed today that a "pop-up" appeared on the site. It's said about working online with a yes or no option. It seemed to appear when a page was left idle for a while.
Just thought you should know in case it was a problem.

So I've had this as well. Wasn't sure if it was an H&V thing or a Chrome thing. Can't find anything on Google about it.

I've had it on both a Windows laptop and an iPad.

Just had this myself on my mobile.

Just had this myself on my mobile.
I've had it as well but thought it was from a different site I had open on another tab.
-
I had it yesterday when I closed this site.
-
I had it yesterday on the desktop using Windows 10 and Edge and continually on my Samsung mobile. Nothing today so far.
-
I had it as well yesterday, but it's nothing l have done/added.
-
Has anyone dared click Yes or No yet? I've just closed the popup each time.
-
I clicked No on my work laptop as its behind millions of antiviruses / firewalls. Nothing bad has happened - it just shut the pop up down.
-
You get it when you move the mouse over the address bar

Not on mine you don't.
-
Just happened for the first time when I clicked into desktop view.
Doesn't seem to affect the mobile view.
-
Happening now at random on the mobile. Not on the desktop.
-
I got the pop-up on the desktop by hovering over the address bar in Firefox (adblock enabled).
The 'Yes' button links to a shortened url : "bit.ly/2addmoney" or something like that. 'No' just closes the window.
-
I got it again on Sunday evening and was able to look at the code for it. It is driven by AddThis which we use here for the twitter/facebook links, so yesterday I removed those links and as yet not had another popup.
-
I nearly went nuts at our IT when this came up - I thought they we spying on me!
Good job I didn't say anything.

Is there a way of requesting a new username? I know there is an option in account settings but as it doesn't seem to work I'm guessing it has been locked.

My antivirus (Avira) has added a browser protection extension to my browser (Chrome), since then, it says that this site should be blocked as source of malware. I've ignored the warning, but why does it think that?

Im getting either ads or a blank block above the forum headings. I.e. between the quick links and the first forum heading (Golden Muppets). I have an ad blocker installed, but it makes no difference.

I get the above on an iPad (IOS 11.whatever), but not on Chrome on my PC.

Me too, since 10 minutes ago. Not earlier when I was on here whilst eating

We've started running a few ads.
-
Any chance we can move out get rid of the one at this dude please? It makes the whole page really narrow.

There are a couple of (tiny on a mobile device) + signs near the top right. They control the left and right panels. Im therefore spared the dating ad on the right!

Unfortunately not. They are a pain in the arse.

Golden Muppets should now not be able to see adverts when logged in (you may have to refresh page).
Let me know if not the case, as it takes a while to reset permissions.

Top stuff.

Download Adblock green app on iPhone/iPad, follow the instructions to remove ads from Safari -Simples.

Hi Martin! I use the mobile skin on my phone. When navigating to the homepage www.heroesandvillains.info/ (http://www.heroesandvillains.info/) the site now reverts to the desktop version. If I click on the 'mobile' link at the bottom of the page (there are two links)
I get Sherlock Street. Nothing happens. When I navigate off the homepage I get the mobile version back.

I am experiencing similar.
If I press the "arrow up" button at the top left of the mobile site, it takes me up one level from thread to group, still on mobile site, if i press again I land up on the main site.

Also, I don't seem to be able to log in via the mobile site and have to go to the main site and then enter the mobile site from there.
It's happening on 2 phones, one running Android 7.1 the other running Android 8.1.

The software for the mobile version has been taken over by a new developer, l will install the latest version as soon as l can.
-
Cheers Martin! We'll survive in the meantime. ;-)
-
I will have to uninstall the current software and install new version as there is no upgrade option, and as there are a few other things l need to do on the site, l will do it late one evening when there are fewer users around.

It would be nice if they could make spoiler tags open when you tap on them.

Hi Martin, thanks but it's still happening for me? I've logged out, cleared all cookies and browsing history but it's still the same? Sorry,!

I can confirm. Navigating up a level from a board e.g. http://www.heroesandvillains.info/forumv3/index.php?board=16.0 using the up button with the arrow takes you to http://www.heroesandvillains.info/forumv3/index.php#c8 where you get the full site, not the mobile version. Clicking on the 'mobile' link takes you to http://www.heroesandvillains.info/forumv3/action=forum but displays the Sherlock Street 404.
If you click on a link to a thread or topic from http://www.heroesandvillains.info/forumv3/index.php#c8 you go back into mobile version.

I had it until I set all the switches to Fuck Off!. Which it probably ignored.

I've been setting the switches to off.
However, because I close down my browser when I'm not using it, I have to repeat the process every time I log in.
I see that there's a single switch for enabling all but no such switch for disabling all

Somebody trying to be clever and redesign the site and messing it up. Too many of us on here are too old to cope with change. I don't care about Bury FC - so why is it on the main links thingy?

I am not trying to be 'clever' the advert blocks have caused problems, as did the mobile version when l upgraded. I had to disable the 'front page' with 'Board News' on so everyone goes to the Forum page now. As for the blocks on the left l was experimenting between 'Board News' 'New Topics' and 'Recent Posts' to see which works better.
The 'Bury FC' is there because it was the top item in 'Off Topic' at that time.

Thanks Martin, I was beginning to panic at the prospect of being deprived of my H&V fix ! :)

Great stuff, Martin. Thank you for all you do.

I just had that. Refreshing the page didn't work and I couldn't get onto/into any threads. I just kept trying and then it was okay.

I'm getting adverts again, any other GMs getting them?
-
Yes, not a prolific poster but view daily and today had the adverts
seems to be slowing my aged ipad as well.
-
Yes getting video player windows appear and banner ads at the foot of a page. Started in the last 48 hours or so.
-
I'm getting adverts again, any other GMs getting them?
Yes - O2 advert. Slowing things down
-
Same
-
I just get loads of ads and the home page so I have to search for any topic. I have a link to "little things that are so annoying" so I have to go that and then I can find the daily topics on there. Frankly I am getting a bit pissed off with it as this has been going on for some weeks now.
-
Whilst I can appreciate, and accept, the need for ads within the pages, I am now getting pop up ads along the bottom of the screen every time I open up a new page. Can only assume it is linked to, or as a result of, going down the ad route. Having to kill the pop ups every time I open a new page. Makes using H and V hard work, and a not particularly enjoyable experience.
-
The adverts at the top and side are just about bearable but this advert which now pops up along the bottom, or just off the bottom is a pain in the arse. Frigging nightmare, on my small device theres bugger all room left to read anything!
-
I'm a little confused.
As a Golden Muppet, I thought I was paying not to have adverts on the site.
Is this right or wrong?
-

Ditto. I've now had to adblock them all, which I wouldn't have done without the ones that began to display at the bottom.
-
There is now an option for all those with GM status to get rid of these with a customised theme.
-
Ill resubmit my membership soon, this last few months have been a financial struggle. My own fault for having so many bloody kids and pets! I miss my muppet status.

Before you do, Id recheck the Disclaimer.
Especially if youre a solicitor or intend to use Canadian coins. :o
Im sure its significantly longer than it used to be !
(It also eschews any connection with the Aston Villa which is a nice touch.)

Anyone else finding page loads really slow the last couple of days? If it's only me, it could be something at work, but all other sites are fine only this one is lagging.

Is there any reason H&V shows as not being secure in my Chrome browser?

I answered this one for you.
-
Why am I unable to pm fellow members?
-
how do I add a photo to a post?
-
Upload it to somewhere like Photobucket, Flickr or Facebook then copy and paste the image url inbetween the [im g] tags. 'See the How to...' thread.
-
[img ] Post URL of image here [/im g] (remove the spaces)
-
From FB for example:
Image URL is https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/1959473_807447609282799_256384802_n.jpg?_nc_cat=108&_nc_ht=scontent-lhr3-1.xx&oh=ddaa315ad5b13a1fc77588aea2a49bb6&oe=5C82AB6D
-
Posted between [im g] and [/im g] (without the spaces) you get:
(https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/1959473_807447609282799_256384802_n.jpg?_nc_cat=108&_nc_ht=scontent-lhr3-1.xx&oh=ddaa315ad5b13a1fc77588aea2a49bb6&oe=5C82AB6D)
-
Images elsewhere would probably end with .jpeg, .gif, .jpg or .png
Hope that is clear and helpful.

I am still getting banner ads at the bottom of the page on my iPad and Galaxy S7. They do not appear on my laptop as I have Adblock installed.

All sorted now.

Banner ads at the bottom of the page again on my mobile.

As of yesterday my work laptop is now flagging the site as 'Malicious'.
The place I work at use McAfee SiteAdvisor Enterprise and it has started flagging the site as follows:
McAfee Content Category: Malicious Sites
McAfee Security Rating: Red
Has something changed? I can still get to the site but it's a pain in the arse as every time a page loads the McAfee warning page appears and I have to click to continue.
-
I had something similar last night too. It was flagged by McAfee also. There was a trial period of McAfee when I bought this laptop almost a year ago but I downloaded Avast for free, yet from time to time McAfee flags sites asking 'are you sure you want to go there?'. I know they are safe sites so ignore it, I thought it was an anomaly of something I'd typically done wrong. I've never had a problem with any anti-virus software as far as H&V is concerned before.
-
Hi, I keep getting a bogus pop up saying Ive won a prize from Virgin Media when Im on the main discussions section. Looks very dodgy.
-
Similar for me. I keep getting a pop up and redirect about prizes from Sky whilst using Safari on iPhone (no issues whilst browsing on MacBook). The only way to get out of it is to close the browser. It only happens whilst using H&V. Very annoying.
I've cleared my browser history in iPhone settings and will advise if it happens again.

(http://i67.tinypic.com/n1s45j.png)
-
Me too, its doing my nut in. If I change to the mobile version its fine but I hate using that mode. Im using Safari on the iPhone.
Its actually got worse and happens as soon as I log onto H&V, cant get rid of it, cleared my browser and history, it didnt help.
-
Ive also found that clearing browser history doesnt matter and happens whether logged in or not...literally happened again within seconds of hitting the forum. Its also happened 3 times whilst making this post.
Also receive a Safari message saying website not secure (or something similar) in red text before logging in.
-
Unfortunately this is also happening for my dad too on his iPhone and also on Sky broadband, however he receives a different message:

(http://i66.tinypic.com/c2j4z.jpg)
(http://i66.tinypic.com/2a7xx5z.jpg)
-
I also tested my iPhone on 4G and his Sky broadband. The redirect and messages didn't happen whilst on 4G but did when I connected to Wifi (you will see the redirect URL has changed from "bootstrapcardcenterimage" to "callcentercard").

I use Firefox with UblockOrigin and Ghostery on my laptop and have no problem. No problem on Android, but I use an app which I wrote myself as a training exercise.
Just ran a simulation using Safari and can recreate the problem. You need a decent adblocker. A proper VPN will have this built in. Downloading and running Malwarebytes and SuperAntiSpyware, both of which have free versions, is always worth doing.

I have the issue only on my iPad

Ad-Blocker Pro sorted me out although the ad it did subsequently reappear on another non H&V site
-
Ive been getting it for about a week, feckin annoying
-
Thanks Rudy. I've just downloaded "Ad-Blocker Plus" (free app in App Store) and will post any updates.
-
So have we established its only happens on this site? It so why would that be?
Since Ive changed to the mobile version it has not happened once. Within seconds on old format I get the pop up.
-
What have you done with Mobile View? It looks like it was designed by Small Heath fans.
I don't like change. 😞
-
Whats going on?!?
-
I don't spend half my time avoiding Royal Blue for you to introduce it on the mobile version of this site.
Now come on!
-
Nope. Don't like it. There's just words, endless endless words.
-
You are all impatient bastards! I'm sure Martin can adjust the CSS so that the site looks less blue. I for one am looking forward to the ease of use that this new mobile version will surely provide.
Edit. Nope. The 'Show' spoiler button still doesn't work. :-(

Well, if we are requesting changes... A nice easy way of attaching photos/videos from your camera memory without having to use any weird third-party nonsense like Photobucket would be nice, pretty please 😊

No further redirect issues to report since installing Ad-Blocker Pro on iPhone.
-
I'm not getting ad problems but I am constantly redirected to a another URL when trying to access H&V with Safari on iphone. The URL it's going to is myaccount@ee.co.uk. I do have an account with EE as the phone is on their network. But not sure why I get redirected there when trying to access this site. It happens if I search for a H&V link on google or use my favourite link. Sometimes I can access the mobile site, sometimes that also goes to My EE. So I downloaded adblocker pro and it still redirected until I entered the actual URL to be blocked. But now when I try to access H&V it says that the URL is blocked. Maddenining. Anyone got any ideas how to fix it?

I had to update the 'mobile' theme to the latest version, unfortunately the default colour was a bright blue! This has now been changed to Hex Colour #7f1734 (claret).
The 'mobile' theme does not have all the features of the main forum, l am working on the code to be able add an image while using the 'mobile' theme.
You should not see adverts if you have donated and use the GMTheme or use the Mobile Theme as they are only in the default HandVTheme.

It was rusty brown twenty minutes ago, it's claret now.

Maybe I always could...

I quite like it now. It's a nice claret. 😊

I dont seem to be able to go to new posts anymore by clicking on the arrow... clicks through to top of last page. Is there a new way to do that?
-
It's odd, but after leaving the H+V page I went on NewsNow in a different tab and got that ad thingy. All on mobile chrome. Shut it down and back on and I like the colour more than previously though it definitely has a different layout etc?
-
What a pleasant site to wake up to.

I'm seeing the same, it takes you to the correct page but only to the top post on it.

This is on the version I look at on my iPhone.

Using Chrome on Android 9 the font sizes between different post in the same thread are a bit random, and the format isn't clear and a bit difficult to navigate.
On Firefox everything is much clearer and fonts are consistent.

Went to a different topic earlier this evening, as you do, and, woah!
Suddenly, I was confronted with a different layout in austere claret and white, posts stretching from one side of the screen to another...no sidebars... or Heroes and Viillains in fab artwork at the top...what is this sorcery...panic!
Then I found the button down right for a traditional view and, thank goodness, at a click, it all came back.
Perhaps I stumbled upon a minimalist version?
-
Looks like the jump to last post thingy on mobile version has been tweaked, thanks.
One other quirk I’ve just noticed .... my apostrophes seem to turn into ’ when I post on the mobile version.
I’m assuming it’s helpful to have this stuff flagged, rather than annoying :-)
-
Jus't tes'ting

My apostrophes seem fine.
-
I’ve got the apostrophe problem on my iphone X. They’re appearing as “I’d” which should say “I’d”.

My butcher and greengrocer are in tears.

It's doing it on Safari on my MacBook as well.

Haha. I’m typing on an iPhone X too so guess it’s that.
‘’’’’’’’

How do You post a new thread using the Mobile device
-
There should be a 'plus' symbol if you scroll to the top of the page (next to the 'Go Down' button). Click on that and you will be rewarded with the solution to your question.
-
The + does bugger all on mine.
-
And while I'm here, the Recent Posts action returns to the last time it was opened, I have to refresh it to, er, refresh it.
-
I have the plus sign, but it doesn't actually do anything.
-
A workaround seems to be to hold down the plus till it gives you the option to open in a new page.

Mobile site not really working for me at all.
It doesn't look right, the layout is too bare and sections don't appear clearly. I'm also finding that the navigation buttons and my gesture control for going back wot work either. Working on all other sites I visit?
-
Claret & Claret in the mobile site header. Any chance you can introduce blue too somewhere? Maybe a horiz line 2 pixels wide underneath the URL box? Comments relate to chrome on android (in case different for others). Thanks.

I use a small Android App to access the mobile version of the site; the "up" button often doesn't work any more, and I have to force stop the app and start again.
No problems with Firefox on Widows 10.

I have to say, grateful as I am for Martin and all the hard work he puts into keeping this site running, the new mobile site software is absolutely bloody awful!
-
Is the "Not Secure" message in the Safari URL box anything for us to worry about it as its appearing on both iPhone and MacBook now?
-

Not really. It just means that messages are not encrypted, which is not a problem in this case. If you are doing a financial transaction, then it is a big issue.
You can change your bookmark to the site to https from http to stop the alert, or use TOR or a https everywhere extension to your browser if you paranoid. I am not advocating against paranoia, by the way.
-
Nice one. Thanks. Fixed with adding https:// to bookmark 8)
-
Martin I think it's getting worse. The shortcut keys in the mobile version just stop working. They either just don't take you where you try to go or stop functioning at all?
Sorry to moan.

Agh ! That annoying survey thing masquerading as congratulations Vodaphone user youve won a iPhone is back. When you click close it just takes you to another URL something like money saving experts- eu or something like that. Is anyone else getting it ?

Yes it was back this morning. Also get it on express and star site which serves me right for going on it

An annoying bug (for it surely cannot be a feature) that I am encountering in the new mobile version is when you tap on the arrow for the next page in a thread and the screen displays the last message at the bottom of the next page. Highly annoying because you miss all the previous messages and have to scroll back up (or use the go up button) if you want to know who was moaning about what.
Android 9.0 Pie with Chrome.

I get the same with mobile version with Android 9 and Chrome (along with somewhat random font sizes between posts).
It seems to go to the top of the next page if I use Firefox, but in Firefox all the buttons become unresponsive either immediately, or after a short period of use, so I can't advance a page or use any of the menus.

Jesus those apostrophes 😩

Back to blue and working apostrophes - is that a temporary thang?

Hi
I have a permanent notification of a new direct message on here, yet all appear read. I dont want to just delete old messages as it serves as the memory I dont have for who Ive been in touch with tree years ago etc. Any suggestions?!

Im sure that you must have been asked this question before, and I apologise for raising it again. Would some threads be more useful if the postings were listed in reverse date order I.e. the most recent first?

I'm sure there are sites out there that work that way, but after years of going to the last post read (on here and other forums l use) and scrolling down, l don't think l could cope doing it the other way! ;)

For the last few days when I log on and go to a thread I am taken to Trip Advisor. When I close that and open up again everything is ok. Is it my iPad or is there a glitch?

I was filling out a Contact Us form on a well-known TV company's website just. As I went to fill in the subject box, a dropdown appeared giving me options. Every one of them was a thread title from H&V. Not a massive issue aside from being a reminder that my computer sees and shares all, but if anyone has any idea why this happens and how to stop it I'd be grateful to know.

Everytime I open a new page or refresh a page I'm on I have the privacy notice. This happen on Safari on my phone and also on Safari on my iMac. Any way of stopping this?

I bet this questions been asked loads of times but I cant find the answer.
I have a picture stored on my Google Drive, I have the link to that picture. How do I insert the bit in a thread?

On the mobile version, when trying to navigate between topic menu boards, the 'up' button chucks me out to a 'full site' version of the H&V Articles home page, as does the 'home' button in the actions drop-down. It reverts back to the mobile version when I click on something. First world problems and all that, but a bit frustrating.
You can have a 'like' for the flash of claret in the mobile version actions, though!

Because the portal does not work fully with the theme when l get one thing working something else stops. I am trying to work on it live but l will probably need to turn the mobile theme off for a while to see.

When attempting to access the forum on mobile over the last day or two, the site goes 'dark', and it doesn't let you click on threads - anyone else having this issue? Doesn't affect other websites I use.

Turn your router off and back on. No, I am not taking the piss. This has happened previously.

I run Android based kit and gave had no issues.
Is there a problem with Apple compatability?

Don't think so.

Seeing as I'm here, for a good while now when logging on to H&V both on my laptop and tablet, I'm getting an error message. To access the site I simply click off and log straight back on with no problem. Not a major problem but niggiling nontheless. Any ideas anyone please?

Not sure if there is anything anyone can do but adverts for The S*n keep appearing in the banner at the top and bottom of the screen. I know it can't be a personalised ad as I would not go near a site associated with that particular 'media' outlet.

I can only get in through a VPN at the moment. First time I have been able to get access since Friday night, have had to try using my laptop. I have tried through phone (non wifi) and through wifi, and different access points (I have a different router in the office in the garden), none of which has worked. Now using a VPN which finally got me in, on a different browser.

Send me your IP address and l will check the server.
If you are with BT, that is your problem, they have a habit of issuing blocks of IP's which contain 'toxic' addresses. This can happen when your router has re-booted or re-started, even whithout you knowing, e.g. during the night a brief power outage may not affect anthing else but may cause your router to re-boot/re-start.
This does not happen with mobile 4g which is why you can normally access sites without problems.

Looking on some Sky forums, it looks like a similar problem, seems to get resolved for a lot of users by turning off the router for a few minutes then back on again. Hopefully it will have picked up a better block of IP's.

What's the best url for the site ?
I type in www.heroesandvillains.info, which takes me to the home page. I then click on the forum link, which takes me to a 404 (EDIT - actually a 403) page, I then click on a link to go back to the homepage, where I click on the forum link again to get here.
-
Same for me.
-
When you hover ove the tab for the forum it should show https://www.heroesandvillains.info/forumv3/index.php if it doesn't your system is probably using an older cookie.
To bypass the front page type in:
https://www.heroesandvillains.info/forumv3/index.php
or
https://www.heroesandvillains.info/forumv3/
both of those should take you direct to the forum

I couldn't get the site on either laptop or phone at all for about a week. Following a tip off from a friend I used data not wifi and could use the phone. Admin unblocked my ip on the server and I could then use wifi on my phone but still had the 404 error message on the laptop. Now don't ask me to explain why, I am beyond my pay grade here but turning on VPN solved the problem and both appliances are fine.
-
I've now got pop up adverts appearing on the mobile version on Android. It's only just started happening. How do i get rid please? They are sitting right at the bottom of the screen and just flashing away. It's highly irritating!
And they sometimes cover the dialogue box as I'm posting. I can close with a click but it pops straight back up when the screen refreshes or goes to a new page.

Martin, Eamonn (regular user of this site) hasn't been able to access it for weeks if not months from any device apparently. I've sent him direct links but he can't get in. He says he's cleared his cache and what not.
Any thoughts on what the problem might be? If I get an email address, could you contact him directly perhaps? Thank you!
