      Nothing too exciting. I'm just updating to the latest software version etc

      Haven't done this for about 6 months so there's probably going to be a couple of minor issues afterwards (we have a couple of customisations on top of the base code)

      How long will it take? Probably 45mins.

              Well we're back

              Yes there's plenty of visual problems. Will fix them over the next few hours

                  I'll try to improve the look of that fixed header inside the threads and the scroll counter on desktops

                  Plenty of alignment issues I need to fix too.

                  Refresh every now and then and you'll get the latest fixes

                  This is why I haven't updated for a while.. I knew they fucked with the layout. It sucks doing this without a dev server to play with first

                      It's all low risk stuff. They changed the html and we have custom css

                          Yeah - I was losing my shit... after lunch, 4 pints down, and looking to punctuate sporadic work with Fernin'... and it just don't fucking exist any more.
                          Options:
                          A - go back to work, spend time on what I'm paid to do.
                          B - try different browsers, consider updating my PAC file with a specific entry for TSF to bypass work proxies, wallow in a mire of despair

                          Take a wild guess at what my afternoon was spent doing.

                                    If you’re on a phone remember that setting is at the top of the slideout menu

                                        I'm on IE at work and it doesn't even say how long ago a post was made etc. In a bright white theme too.

                                          Yes IE is a bit fucked.

                                          I'll fix what I can when I can. The problem is that it doesn't render like other browsers and so special exceptions have to be made for people on IE.

                                          Dark mode is lowest priority. It appears the plugin is not loading at all (eg not related to customisations). This is only on IE.

                                            there actually several issues with edge, like when i click the "noticifications" it opens a whole new page, not just a drop down, plus the not being able to reply, quote or like

                                                    I thought that too - but then I realised it's just moved across to the right?

                                                              Yes I have an ancient laptop with IE. I can see the same thing.

                                                              Sorry, there's zero chance I'm fixing anything today though. Too busy. Should have some time over the weekend

                                                              In the meantime you're stuck with your phone or you can nag your works IT department to get off IE

Your IT department should give you a modern browser to use even if some of their shitty custom apps still need IE. It's a waste of Duluth's time fixing stuff for old browsers.
