New Forum

Hi,

I was sorted out viewing the Forum on a Mobile Phone, just rotate the screen to landscape mode, makes the Forum readable.

Pity there is not a mobile web page....

Thanks for feedback everyone. The design and style is not set in stone and there is plenty of scope etc for tweaks and changes. The big job was just getting it moved over and brought bang up to date.

Again, thanks for doing that (and generally running the forums day to day). Really appreciated. I love this place

I checked another phpBB site that has just been upgraded and it doesn't load the CPU even though they have put Christmas lights twinkling in the banner. Looking at the system activity on their site Firefox uses less than 5% and a thing called Web pops up now and again at 1%. On the QL forum Firefox and Web are using more than 20% so it looks to me like what ever is driving Web is making Firefox use more resources. When I move the mouse over the emojis while typing this message the Firefox hits 30% and Web goes over 24%. On top of that the White screen takes almost a second to turn to normal colours when I first pull up the QL forum probably because Web task is hogging all the resources. It is a good thing I don't suffer with epilepsy as the flash from dark to light could be trouble. The software just doesn't work properly for this user but users are irrelevant to software developers these days.

Same here on W7.

I noticed that the site does not use https by default, unlike the original. Quite dangerous.

The new forum update makes everything slow.

But the white flash before the webpageis displayed is a good feature, this tells me when the web page refresh is complete...

My browser shows a https.

https works, but I have to explicitely state the protocol. Otherwise, the site defaults to http.
To reproduce, try just "www.qlforum.co.uk" on Firefox.
The original site enabled https by default.

[Sparrowhawk]

On firefox, for me it always defaults to https. (macOS and Linux)

[Peter]

Even on Chrome I get http if I do not specify the protocol, tested on two machines (Win 10).
