Mobile Issues Since Update


Recommended Posts

there are a lot of new/changed css elements in the 4.5 update so our custom themes will need quite a bit of tweaking in various areas.

 

I've switched you to the default theme. let me/us know if you still can't access the menu and such on mobile.

 

the Orion themes should be corrected shortly hopefully but the person who used to maintain them isn't with us anymore so it may take a little more time than expected.

That works. Thanks for switching me, I couldn't get to it on my device and figured it was cookie based. I could have done it myself if I had known otherwise :D

no problem. yeah hard to switch it on mobile if you can't access the menu button :D
figured I'd save you the trouble of having to jump on a desktop to change :)

Had the same issue on mobile. Just switched to "desktop site" (in Edge)... changed the theme to default ... switched back to "mobile" and the theme carried over. Didn't have to delete cookies.

We've moved everyone to the new Orion theme, which works fine in Mobile too,

Post usernames are back now, got 2 problems though.

 

1. Can't get back to the Homepage when in the forum on my phone as there is no Neowin icon to click on.

 

2. Can't access my profile or notifications while in the forum as nothing to click on.

 

I believe I only get these issues on my Samsung S7 and not on my tablet.

In case I have missed it are these 2 issues theme related?

 

Also I can confirm I only get these issues on mobile and not tablet, I've also noticed you can't tell what time someone replied on mobile, fine on tablet.

 

Is there a fix in the works  @Steven P.?

The mobile navigation should be functional now

 

mobile looks great but not sure if it's a side effect of the mobile change because the desktop menu bar dropped down now

 

This is what I show now:

This is how it was a few minutes ago: (thankfully hadn't refreshed one of my tabs yet so could grab a screenshot)

And it is better too. Please provide feedback :) 

Seems to be working normal again although in my screenshot you can see the posters names and avatars are central in the post and this means we lose the 'posted 10mins ago' info etc, i see this on tablet as that info is in the normal place on the left.

 

I would rather see the info of times posts are made rather than the reputation info which i think is a waste?

That's on the list too. I'm slowly working my way through everything from top to bottom!

Is Date Format on your list as well as I am seeing month/day/year in quoted posts  instead of what I normally use in my region, is there an option to change this, if so I can't find it?

Fixed. I changed the locale to UK.

On PC- I use the Darkside Theme. I set it on the main page, it sets fine, when I navigate to another post it switche sback to Orion and I have to toggle Darkside on every new post I navigate to. Also, another difference is the font, as I'm typing it is dark now and it was not before. 

Many thanks guys!

Colors aren't going to worked on until the main theme is fixed (almost done) we gave access to Darkside to staff and subscribers just for testing and previews :)

    • We had no idea as kids how much time and energy it took to be an adult 😅
    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval by David Uzondu Image via @realDonalTrump (X) As OpenAI prepares the release of its next model, GPT 5.6, the White House has instructed the company to limit the distribution of the software to a small group of government-approved partners instead of the general public, as it has done with previous releases. According to The Information, OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman sent an internal memo to staff on Thursday explaining that the federal government will approve access "customer by customer" during an initial preview phase. Altman noted in the communication that this restrictive rollout is "not [their] long-term model" for software deployment, and the company plans to work toward a "more sustainable" distribution method later. CNN said that both OpenAI and the Trump administration view the capabilities of GPT 5.6 on the same level as Anthropic's Mythos and that government officials intend to "collaborate with frontier AI labs to develop shared approaches for addressing the challenges of scaling this technology." The latest restriction comes just weeks after the US Commerce Department decided to restrict Fable, a version of Mythos with extra safety "guardrails" to prevent users from exploiting software vulnerabilities. Not long after the release, though, researchers at Amazon found a way to bypass these restrictions, prompting an aggressive response from federal authorities. The government ordered Anthropic to cut off access for non-US citizens located outside the US, non-US citizens living inside the US, and incredibly, even Anthropic's own foreign-born employees. Anthropic now appears to be building a workaround to resolve this compliance block with an update to its Privacy Policy that introduces a category called "Verification Data" to handle KYC and Digital IDs. This setup could mandate digital identity checks to filter users by nationality, requiring a government-issued ID and facial biometric data. Who knows? Maybe in the future, you would have to scan your US Passport or State ID to prove your citizenship before you are allowed to chat with Fable 5 (or any other model).
    • When Windows 7 was released I created an AutoHotkey script that uses Alt+` as a keyboard shortcut to move a window across monitors. I have been using that script for over 15 years and this is the first time I have come across another app that uses the same shortcut!
    • I called it last year that they wouldn't end support when they said there would. There are too many people still on Windows 10 waiting for something better to upgrade to and 11 ain't it! The recent promises of fixing Windows 11's many problems is nice, but unless they deliver on those promises in a big way then I expect customers will still want to stick with 10.
