This is my how I make money, by the way. Make an improvement, unwittingly break stuff in the process after poor testing procedures, get paid to fix things I broke, and repeat until my dying day. A tidy little arrangement. ? Why am I doing this for free on a sunny Saturday? ?

@Stuart I'm testing on iOS 12.1 on a Mac and an iPhone XS. I'm not getting the same issues that you're reporting; site is super-fast.

Only issue I'm seeing is with older versions of iOS, e.g. iOS 7, whereby Safari looks like it has some sort of security feature that blocks conventional loading of Google Ads and YouTube iframes. It throws out a random number of JavaScript errors each time and slows down the site no-end (I think this is the issue that @AJW reported, but that's just a guess, because I haven't been given any device/operating system/browser details, which would really help me). Again, though, that issue will exist regardless of the theme used on the website. I will try to investigate that, but that is really the only issue I can find.

Sorry been at work. .my ipad is a version 3 and it's ios 9.3.5 .. never had any issues in past I am actually on my Samsung at mo using Chrome and its fine

On iPad now .. Better but very slow to scroll and to type as I other poster said sound like your on it anyway ?

[DeeCee]

Well done for your dedication,  (and expertise) glad I've no technical glitches.

Appreciated ?

[bluebruce]

Mine has been faster, but I'm on Android.

Imagine, Apple products having a problem when everything else runs fine...unheard of.

[Maji]

I like the changes, makes the board seem fresh. 

Works fine for me ?

@OnePhilT

2018/19 and 4.2 work really well. Smooth, zero lag.

Just gone back to 2019/20 and its still really laggy so there is definitely something in the theme I’d suggest.

Cheers.

OK. I will build up the new-style theme again step-by-step from the default theme, and let's see if that sorts things out. In the meantime, I will leave those two themes enabled if you'd prefer to use them in the meantime.

Top man. Whatever they are paying you it isn’t enough.  

And thanks.

Yep. As above here too.

For those who have been having issues on iOS (etc.), I'm wondering if you can help.

Right at the bottom of the page, you'll see a Theme link which opens up a few theme options. I need you to select last season's theme (BRFCS 2018/2019 - Home Kit) and see if the scrolling issues are still happening for you. I would also like you to do the same for the forum's default theme (4.2). If you could report your findings to me here, that would be helpful.

This morning, I tested a demo version of the forum software (default, reset, etc.) and confirmed that there is a bug on certain versions of iOS - the same bug that throws out laods of errors that I mentioned yesterday, relating to <iframe> elements such as embedded YouTube videos and Google Ads. What I am attempting to do is to determine whether or not those errors are part of the cause of the theme issues or not, so I will need your feedback, and we can then take it from there.

@S8 & Blue

[AJW]

Ditto ??

[philipl]

Very swish!

[AJW]

Working fine for me .. Well done and thanks I don't know how I would have survived this transfer window without this message board ??

[Mike E]

That logo is a beauty. Might be worth designing some retro 60s Rovers kits with it.

Right, sorry about the chopping and changing of how the site looks, but thanks to help from @Stuart and @Herbie6590, I believe we've resolved the iOS issue with scrolling. And, yes, my fault, and no, I won't charge you (on this occasion ?). If there are any further issues, please tag me.

There will be some further crediting due for our brand new logo. ?

Well done in finding it - and using your valuable Sunday too!

Just now, OnePhilT said:

Hmm. Think I prefer last season's colour scheme. I'll put it back on now.

Can we change the logo back to the red dot ASAP?

[SBlue]

IOS all sorted here ??

[Herbie6590]

Yes...big thanks to @OnePhilT for his tenacity, @StubbsUK for technical guidance and gifs, @perthblue02 for some awesome graphic design ingenuity and I actually did some User Acceptance Testing so for once...I actually added value ?

 

Let’s hope Rovers don’t dick around with change the kit again next season...

 

@OnePhilT ....now about that idea I had where the banner changed colour scheme on a day when we are wearing our away kit...? Phil...Phil...you there....? Phil...? ?

We can apply the HAL/washed out Japan flag, including the old light blue colour, on this brand new theme for posters who get a warning. Maybe some Piccalilli colours mixed in here and there. Or maybe even a Dingle-based theme. Shall I set it up?

I like it. It's like a yellow card.

[Reedy You're A Star]

Seems to be working for me too. Cheers @OnePhilT!
