Is it just me, or has the typeface gone down a size?

It's just you, move closer to the screen

That's what caused my eyes to go in the first place.

To go where?

 

[Dan]

Whatis strange is the "Back to top" link doesnt actually show for me

 

[globaleagle]

To go where?

To go to the police and report a stealing of type face sizes!

- I see the button (on the laptop) light grey and bottom right.

We need a 'Go to Last Post' button

I don't know if you mean for a mobile but there is one for computers. It's that tiny dot just to the right of the thread starter's avatar.

Warning: If you are like me, about 20% of the time when you try and click on it, you will miss and bring up the thread stater's avatar!

I normally enlarge the screen content on my phone to make the dot bigger beforehand so that I don't click on the person's avatar accidentally. The thing is though, when it has been enlarged, the dot is slightly overlapped by the avatar so I can maybe see why there is a problem with accidentally clicking on the avatar instead.

I'm mainly on the phone and it's not the same as the desktop.

On the desktop I click on the timestamp and it behaves like it used to and opens thread at last post. But on phone it is not actioned 😎

I'll try and click on the tiny dot 😵

Hi @Dan I'm having an issue viewing on my desktop. When I scroll down there is a banner of video highlights that takes over the screen and my stats section switches from the right to the left (I've put it in a picture)
I can no longer see the 5 most recent commented on topics either which I like to check out. This happens on chrome and firefox. It started happening yesterday or the day before.

I guess you won't be able to put your tips in for a week or two, that's a shame (!)

 

[Ned]

Thankfully tips and actual forum pages work fine SER8, it just seems to be the silvertails.net main page that has issues for me.

 

[Dan]

Just browse from the forum pages that strip is only Visible on the front page. Shouldnt be doing that but would only happen on the news page

 

[Ned]

ok

Hey @Dan , how do I easily link to a specific post in a thread now that there is no longer a post number on each person's post?

I know that there is a long way to do it where I can find a post number by hovering my mouse over either the 'Quote' or 'Reply' options at the bottom right of the post and then copy that number (for example, I go to your post at the bottom of page 10 of this thread and find that its number is 1037822) and then I have to preface that number with #post- and then copy the link address to the thread and then add the #post-XXXXXXX to the end of the thread address and I can either type it into a post as a link or I can post that into the address bar and it will take me to the specific post and using your post number again as an example, i would end up with:

https://silvertails.net/threads/new-site-design.54545/page-10#post-1037822

But that all seems a long way to do it whereas before I could just copy the link of the post number and I would have it straight away.

Thank-you for that info HM. That works a lot easier than what I was doing but I just wish that the old post number was still available so that nothing would have to be deleted from the link address like you have shown. 🙂

@Dan seems to have run out of real estate to position that info
