Is there a way to have this back? Ah. As I said above, it's because not everyone navigates the site by forum / thread. Some use activity streams and these links make no sense to them. You'll just have to remember which thread you're in (or look at the URL at the top of the screen). Link to comment

0 OutByEaster? Posted March 2, 2019 Moderator Share Posted March 2, 2019 .WebP files don't display for me. I'm not sure if that's a new thing, or if it's something to do with the generated gifs vs imported gifs - I do know that I'd never seen it before the upgrade. Link to comment

I'm not sure if that's a new thing, or if it's something to do with the generated gifs vs imported gifs - I do know that I'd never seen it before the upgrade. Do you have an example? The site doesn't render video or images - that's done in your browser. Have you cleared cookies and cache? I don't know what "generated gifs vs imported gifs" means. Sorry. Link to comment

The WebP files I can't see all seem to be gifs, I can see the ones that come from the button, but not the WebP ones, I'm guessing that's just two different formats. Gifs and Mac/Safari have never got on well and WebP is a google thing so it'll most likely be pursuing their Chrome -or-die mission statement I guess? Link to comment
0 OutByEaster? Posted March 2, 2019 Moderator Share Posted March 2, 2019 This post for example gives me a blue x and no image. It might just be a coincidence, but I hadn't seen any before the upgrade. Link to comment

Perhaps it's time to upgrade to something much cheaper The GIFs from the button are from giphy - they are the same as the giphy embeds used to be, so I don't think anything has changed.

0 limpid Posted March 2, 2019 Author Administrator Share Posted March 2, 2019 12 minutes ago, OutByEaster? said: Never. I'll give that a go when I've got time to figure it out https://www.macworld.co.uk/how-to/mac-software/safari-cache-mac-3496193/ Quote There are a handful of situations when clearing Safari's cookies or cache - one of the places where Safari stores website data to avoid having to download it afresh each time you access a site - can help improve your browsing experience. The first is when sites simply stop working when you access them on Safari. Perhaps Facebook stops updating with new posts, for example, or the images on a site don't appear as they should. If this happens it's likely the cache has become corrupted. Link to comment
0 mjmooney Posted March 3, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted March 3, 2019 (edited) Not a big one, but when I scroll to the bottom of a page, and am about to press 'go to topic listing', the screen 'twitches' down a centimetre or so, and my finger comes down on the 'reply' box. Gets me every time. This is on an android phone. Edited March 3, 2019 by mjmooney Link to comment

0 mjmooney Posted August 22, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted August 22, 2019 OK, I think it may be a Chrome-on-Android thing. Firefox doesn't seem to have the problem. However, page loading seems to be considerably slower on Firefox. Link to comment
0 limpid Posted August 23, 2019 Author Administrator Share Posted August 23, 2019 I've tried chrome on android on two phones and a tablet since last night. That suggests to me that it's something you've added to Chrome. Does it happen when you are incognito? Link to comment
