The following is the current list of known bugs and issues with the site that I have collated from the comments I have seen post the upgrade.

These are divided into sections, Desktop, Tablet, Mobile and App. Feel free to contribute to the topic with issues I have missed but always refer to this opening post for the details of known issues and/or fixes.

Please consult this list before reporting an issue and report any new problems into us my emailing support@pieandbovril.com

1. Desktop Issues

1.1 Flicker between pages as team theme is applied. The default colour scheme applies for a few seconds before the users team theme displays.

1.2 Quotes can disappear if the user tried to edit a quote they have pulled into their post

1.3 Users are signed in "anonymously" by default on the board

2. Tablet Issues (iPad, Android, Kindle - when not using our app)

2.1 There is no emoticon or post formatting capability when using the desktop theme on an iPad

3. Mobile Issues (when not using our app)

3.1 YouTube size is too big for mobile platform (reported on Android)

3.2 Users cannot easily skip to specific page numbers from inside a topic on the mobile skin

3.3 If user clicks the back button the black "loading" image stays on screen

3.4 Mobile theme does not show the time of a post, only the date

3.5 YouTube clips are not displayed Fixed 13th Feb @ 2155

4. App issues (iOS and Android)

4.1 Quoted users name is not displayed on the displayed quote when on the App Fixed 13th Feb @ 2330

4.2 YouTube clips are not displayed Fixed 24th Feb

4.3 New lines are being ignored on posts so all text appears in one long line. Line breaks are added if the post is edited Fixed 14th Feb @ 1540

4.4 Some emoticons are not displayed in posts, instead the HTML code markup is shown

4.5 Following the fix we applied to 4.1 users are now only seeing one topic posted under the "Participated" tab in latest content Fixed 14th Feb @ 1540

4.6 When a user quotes another user on the app the quote is not displayed properly in the resulting post, even though it appears ok in the desktop forum. Fixed 24th Feb

4.7 Some users are reporting line break code "<br>" appearing when they are using the App

Yep I have just stared getting these today and would much rather not, very irritating. I don't mind joining up to the Platinum membership to give you cash, how do you sign up? Will this actually fix the ad problem?

Affecting Platinum members too at the moment.

On the bright side I got a BOGOF offer on ukrainian wifes .com.

Not sure if the missus will be happy :(

Div's likely reaction to the reason behind ads on the App:

Yeah, maybe it's an intentional ruse by Div to get people so fed up with the ads that we all take out memberships to get rid of them :)

Well played Div* :)

*or it would be if the platinum members didn't get them as well.

We've introduced Ads into the App over the last 24 hours as a test.

About 25% of all our traffic now comes via the App. Although it is a white label app that we branded, we still incurred significant costs in getting it up and running.

Ads is one option being considered to recoup those costs without launching a paid version of the app.

Just being considered at the moment, also looking at different providers.

Personally I don't think they really get in the way of the App at all.

Maybe it's because I access the site on the iPhone but I do find it quite distracting as it tends to all right across the middle of the thread and there doesn't seem to be a way of closing it.

As I said in my earlier post, I am happy to pay for the site as I understand you have costs and spend a lot of time working on it. How do you sign up for the membership?

Maybe I am just grumpy but I get surrounded by ads all the time so would like a way to not have to have them on sites I go to for enjoyment. :)
