Why do we have this ajaxy in place loading of content?
It means that I can't put firefox in reading mode (which is a lazy persons alternative for custom CSS that doesn't look quite so yellow at work) also I have to press the back key twice to go backwards.
Advertisements have disappeared, I wanted to show some love to our benefactors!

We use Turbolinks to make everything faster. Have a read:
So I wonder why it stops the read mode of firefox from working and also has issues with the back button, if you load the URL in place it should download the page in place in the traditional way courtesy of the browser push state and address bar being updated.
so, no way of setting-up notifications?

Has there been some sort of site-wide update in the last week or so? I use the browser on my phone to access the forums at work and such and it's just recently started taking ages and ages to load the site, or even to do things like scroll or respond when I click on links. My phone is fine with opening other desktop sites, and this site is fine from my pc browser.
I should probably just get the app, right?
I have recently changed all my various passwords on the Web. A bit surprised I didn't have to sign back into the App with my new password. I realise the app is fairly low risk in the scheme of things.

Highly recommend the app. So much better than the website when using your phone. The person who made it must be awesome.

The solution to what you were surprised at would be to invalidate the session key when you change your password, but I suspect this would confuse some people, especially since the red flags with the number of unread posts would disappear until the user logs back in.
FWIW, we also don't store your actual password in the database at all either. It gets converted to a long string of random characters too when you push save, and we apply that same process to the password you type in your password to log in and then check that they match. There's no way to get your original password back from the set of characters we store, unlike all of the plaintext password leaks that have happened over the past few years.
Basically, we follow all best practice and even though you didn't need to log in again, we do a lot to keep your account and credentials secure.

Sweet, I'll get the app then :)

I think I get the Gist of it and had a feeling there would be Pixie Dust involved.

We now have a kit option?
Kinda cool.
Sir tech gods, big and small.
I humbly request if possible unto thee if a "Mark all read" button be added to thine holy forums. Makes it easier for occasional posters, and regular lurkers like myself to keep up to date with the chatting and the what nots.

Getting an error message when scrolling down the Active threads page in the Android app. It lets me get to around the Getting rid of Sky being the top thread before erroring.
Problem only started yesterday and I haven't updated any apps in the last few days
Android 5.1.1 on Xperia Z3
On further investigation it seems to consistently be after 15 threads it shows the error. Seemingly unrelated to any thread in particular
Yeah I'm getting this too. It's bizarre.
I'll try and hunt down the error tonight.

I'm also having issues on android will just say it's stopped and close. Works for some forums and then nit others then changes. I couldn't get into nix forum the other day now I can but I can't get into nzers overseas.
Is there a way to use spoiler tags in these forums?

Be cool to have these like you use on Reddit, where it is blacked out and you hover your mouse over or something to reveil it.

Or like on NZgamer\GPforums where a button appears saying spoiler, and you tap\click the button to reveal the spoiler.
I was wondering, have you mods ever thought about having alerts/notifications like XenForo forums do?
Or have you purposely stayed away from that side of things?
Might be ego-boosting to see people like your posts withOUT having to search a thread.
Speaking of searching a thread, could we also have a "go to first unread post" feature, or make the forum do that automatically when clicking on threads?
Makes things easier for people to keep up with things. You have the feature on the app, now it's the Desktop site's turn.

It does that on the mobile phone, if you click "View xx more" beside the forum on the browser it takes you to your last read page (mostly, I believe messages that have been hidden throw off the page count.).

Click on the "View 18 more" button instead of the thread title.
In terms of notifications - it's a big job to implement it so we've pushed it down the pile in favour of other things. It'll happen some day.

I'll try that one out. Thanks.

I find that when I click that most of the time it takes me to an empty page with no posts so I then need to click back a page to see the last page.

I think that the site isn't taking into account messages that have been hidden or removed by moderators when figuring out what page you should be on with that function. So with longer threads with plenty of removed comments it pushes you to a page that is beyond the actual pages available.

That may explain it. That's why you're paid the big bucks.
Hi Patrick
For the last couple of days on the app I keep getting a "JsonNull" message whenever I click on the News link and nothing loads. All other tabs seem to be working.

Fixed!
I forgot to add a picture to one of the news items.
