I now get ads on the forum. Is this by design? Happy to click through if it generates funds

I haven't made any changes to that
Is that just on the categories page?

Odd. At bottom of Categories page but also at top of Sports Talk page if I click through from Categories. Seems to disappear after that.
Not an issue at all, just hadn't seen ads after logging in before. -
It looks like comments are showing on the front page if you use thesilverfern.com, but not if you use www.thesilverfern.com
That's a problem for tomorrow..
-
I'll look into it..
We hover around break even so there might be a few more ads needed. I won't go crazy with it though
-
@duluth more than happy to donate if a bit more is ever needed. Thanks for all the background work you fullas do.

Thanks, we appreciate the offer
We'll see where we are at in a couple of months. Maybe we will pass the cap around at that time.
My preference would be that we cover costs from ad revenue. I would prefer it if people 'donate' by creating content that we can put ads on.
Then the admins benefit by covering costs and the users benefit by having something interesting to read/argue about -
Looking pretty slick, thanks for the effort in getting this up and running.
Works well on mobile.

I think I have this working now
-
Not a problem, just wondering: comments under a blog article show the most recent comment at the top, and the oldest comment at the bottom. In the forum threads, it's the other way around (my preference). Is that the design, or a setting people can change?
-
-
Strangely, it’s still oldest at the top for me (mobile safari if that matters)
-
Just tested on mobile safari.. still newest at the top
That suggests a user account setting? Strange.
-
When I send the unread page to home on android it still seems to open to the home page. Any ideas?
-
My browsers say the website is "unsecure"...should I worry...???

Are you sure it didn't say 'Insecure'? A few posters on here may cause that.
-
Any chance this update will improve the chances of the Blues winning now..
-
No. But its on the list to fix
-
Looks good!
Just had to do my annual login. Still got it (the password that is)

Took me 6 goes so I am glad it doesn't lock out after 3

Does it open the home page with the 404 message on it? That would mean its still pointing to thesilverfern.com/unread instead of forum.thesilverfern.com/unread
Maybe a cache issue?

I'm quite proud of myself that I worked that out all on my lonesome
-
@duluth nah just opens to like the splash page. Duh I'll clear cache.
-
looks the same, what's new?
oh wait, my mobile shortcut has an icon now, flaaash
-
Jeez youse guys! Not only do I have to re-set my bookmarks, but I have to remember my login detaiils! You know us grumpy bastards hate change!

There is some competition for grumpiest bastard on the Bella Vista thread. It is being called curmudgeonly, but near enough.
I am starting to realise that I really am a grumpy bastard.One of my employees rang me this morning when I was doing accounts (hence me messing around on the Fern). There was a cock up from one of our suppliers and she told me that we need to call them, would I do it if I had time?
Yes sure.
A few minutes later she calls me back after speaking to another employee, her boss, and says that it might be better if she called them rather than me as we might need to use this supplier again! I get no respect, fear perhaps but not respect.Yes I am going to try to create another "test ignore", not quite as good as "guns and strippers" but legendary nonetheless.
"This is a comment" is pretty good for a title too. Oh and everything works fine with the update...
-
a couple of things (one maybe a browser issue at work??)
1 When I go into a thread, say the U20 one, it takes a very long time to load, my guess is due to all the embedded links to Youtube? Unsure if this is a browser issue or if other have same problem?
2 When in a thread, you used to just click on The Silverfern at the top and took you back to the forum, but now, it takes you back to the front page. Obviously the categories tab next along takes you to the main forum page showing all the different forums, but not straight back into the main one.

1st issue - yes embeds slow things down
2nd issue - it always did. You had a custom setting you added. I just re-enabled it custom home, it had toggled off
-
@duluth cheers! This is what my issue was.
-
@duluth hhmmm, I see in my settings it has that as my home page, I've cleared my cookies but when I click on the silverfern I still go back to the main page.
-
Yeah, it’s still not working. Not much time at the moment.. will investigate in a couple of days
-
@duluth all good, was wondering if it was me missing something obvious!
-
It's working for me!

This post is deleted! -
FYI
The Forgotten Password Link (via email) is incorrect. It has the IP address (http://45.55.18.71/) instead of the FQDN.
The token still works if you append it to http://thesilverfern.com/reset/token-goes-here

Thanks for pointing that out
The email sends the correct link now
