New ECF Theme!

[MacTechVpr]

Since I see no mention of it anywhere…what's all this BB code spawning all over in the RTE wherever there's word substitutions, i.e. [REPLACEMENT…/REPLACEMENT]?

Is this everywhere?

Good luck.

Good luck.

I made a thread on the issue..

Is anyone seeing this extra text?

Is this everywhere?

Yup. Most likely Retired1 and the code monkeys.

This too shall pass.

Hope so. We have a few darn posters around here so generous with language it makes it seem like Chinese readin' their stuff.

Good luck.

It's giving me a darn headache.. I can't follow any of it in some places.

what the heck is going on? In addition to all of the gibberish showing up in posts, now simple words, such as buy, in a post are being taken out of context and turned into links...

Can I just say I LOVE the new font, and also the BOLD in the forums which tell me which posts are read or unread. Those are two changes I can really get behind.

Although I do realize that "The costs of running this huge site are paid for by ads" and the only way to remove them is by becoming a PAID Supporting Member (BTW: There are some of "US" that are very much ECF supporting members on a very limited budget to cover that expense ) . . . However, trying to view ECF using the New ECF Theme via a "Smartphone" is absolutely ridiculous, especially with an AD after each and every post of "Stuff" I would never purchase . . . I wish there was a "HATE" button somewhere to click . . . Just Sayin' . . .

It seems this "Problem" of ADS showing up and taking over while viewing the threads on a "Smartphone" has been fixed/corrected in the past few days . . .

I've been having a weird one of late. This applies to both Aluminum and the "old" ECF. If I try to open the whole forum it won't display anything except the grey headline and the ECF logo, no text. If I enter the site from a link to Vaping and the E-Cigarette Forum, I can get in, but still can't load any of the other sections. Seems like it's mostly in the morning (EDT). Today it's fine, which is why I can get into this section this morning. I figure it's a coding issue but thought it good to bring to your attention in case you're unaware.

Edit: happened again. I grabbed a screenshot just because

I see that now and then, as well, although for me a refresh / reload of the page usually brings it all back.

Nice to know I'm not crazy. A refresh does not always work for me, although to day seems a bit better.

 

[stols001]

It is happening to me too, occasionally, though usually a refresh fixes it. Started yesterday or the day before, I believe. Thanks for mentioning it.

Can I just say that I love that the tech idot here is having no issues.

 

[stols001]

I'm still getting that grey headline with nothing else error. It seems to be getting worse, actually. Anyone else?

[Oliver]

Yup - just happened for me too. I'm speaking with devs now.

What browser are people seeing this in?

 

[DavidOck]

firefox 56.0.2, latest rev, windows 7

 

[stols001]

Edge-- what seems to be happening (with almost all posts) is that they load incorrectly first (like, you'll get to a thread, but the reply button doesn't work. On the main page, sometimes nothing loads except a couple of blocks, sometimes it will reload by itself after a long lag, other times it won't. When liking a post, sometimes the page will reload itself, again. It's pretty frequent, now.

Happens to me occasionally with Chrome and also on my iPad with Safari. A refresh will bring things back.

 

[Uncle]

Occasionally on Chrome - Both Laptop & Tablet . . .

OK, made a couple of changes - let's see if this persists.
