Whilst we await delivery of the new board, and this one keeps falling over, please use this thread to report problems/issues. A) this frees up the main board B) the techy knows where to find reports of problems C) it will obviate the need for 20 people to report the same issue.
We can also use this thread to keep you informed of progress (provided we can post of course [cr]).
This thread will be permanently a "sticky".

I'm also going to start putting a single sticky match thread up for each game. That might help with congestion on match days. Please use it.

Thanks.

Is there a way to get rid of the obscene looking "Trending today" pics at the bottom of the board ?

Trying to use on an iPhone is an absolute nightmare. Tapping and pressing the screen over and over to just cut and paste. Needs sorting fast.
Scrolling through a longer message you are trying to post or edit is also a pain in the XXXXXX.

Not exactly a problem or issue as such but when this place get its much needed 'improvements' ( not meant sarcastically but as a cover all for whatever happens). What are the chances of making it as an app as well as a normal site. Accessing would be soooooo much easier when on a mobile device as I'm sure most people do access it through these days. Just a thought for your consideration.

Zooming in on iPhone - often it zooms straight back out again so text is too small to read. Doesn't happen all the time but often enough.

When you read the board on a phone with a smaller screen and the ticker at the top has a long text, it makes the screen bounce all over the place and makes clicking on a thread you want to read a real challenge!

The site is slow as hell and doesn't log your comments without a manual refresh from my mobile chrome browser ie; make comment, go to thread, can't see it. Reload thread, pull down to refresh, can see it. I don't think this build is working too well with mobile chrome. Obviously the rotating adverts for (at the moment) Nisbets kitchenware work fine. Hint.

I mentioned this iPhone zooming issue earlier - I can't be the only one to get it?

It's when you use the 'pinch to zoom' action, the board often just jumps straight back, to zoom all the way out again and hence, too small to read.

I reckon it does it 60% of the time for me.

I am getting advertising materials as banners in between thread replies which is very annoying and I don't know whether I have been attacked by a trojan via this website. Also my McAfee virus software is always coming up with notifications regarding "unsafe sites" on the page whenever I access FMTTM.

It seems I have been ignored or possibly over ruled on adverts between posts on threads.
I will have to try and work on this.
There are no viruses on the site or adverts - we are very careful - what sometimes happens is individual advertisers sites do not have their safety certificates up to date. Also occasionally a rogue advertiser creeps in through google and it can light up your anti virus as a malware issue. This isn't a virus though. They are clean of any thing that could damage your computer/tablet/phone.

Huge adverts between posts are now appearing. I clicked on one by mistake and my phone started to vibrate and message came up that "my device has been infected". Now I know it hasn't but it's preying on me hoping I click to download something that WILL infect my device. Not amused.

Honestly, the level of advertising on here is beyond a joke. I can't imagine it's that much of a cash generator. It's extremely annoying. In my opinion it ruins this already unstable platform.

What would it take, a £1 a year pledge from all members to get it sorted? Come on got goodness sake it's getting beyond dreadful [xx(]

Tryasize10, you are not wrong, the advertising is a joke and I'm not convinced that all the advertiser links are sound. We know that Rob, and others, need to make a financial return from operating FMTTM as it is more than a hobby for them but to throw caution to the wind in accepting anything without proper certification and verification is totally unacceptable.

And yes I would pay an annual fee if it meant using a secure site, without all the adverts slowing it down.

People wouldn't pay a fee. The adverts are nothing like as bad as on Gazette or a newspaper site. But clearly it is not ideal presently especially when using a mobile. That is what I am looking to do something about asap.
The adverts are nearly all served by google. They serve adverts all over the web. There is a new additional advertiser come on board this week. We are monitoring the situation and hopefully can make some significant after New Year.

Rob, how do you know that people wouldnt pay a modest fee? Have you asked out of interest?

There are lots of apps that allow you to "upgrade" to advert free versions.

A lot of ppl are happy to spend a couple of quid on an app, so get some market research done, get an app developed and offer it for a modest fee.

That isn't supposed to be the function of the edit button. It is to be able to go back and edit your posts after they have been posted.
You realise afterwards you have made an error. Or a certain poster goes back and edits everything they have written on a thread to cover his back.

It's been six months since I last reported this. You can't update your password/email on the profile.php page unless you do it from the Boro board.

If you try it on another club's board you get a PHP prepared statment/number of params mismatch error.

You also can't host https:// links in a post. the special characters get changed to https// which breaks the link. This could easily be fixed by removing the s from https and posting the link as http://. Web browsers autoforward to https:// upon click.

I use my phone for this site, and it feels next to useless when I am trying to scroll down, it is jumping all over the place. The adverts are intrusive, they block the message boxes if I am writing a message, so sometimes it is virtually impossible to check what I have written, spelling etc before posting. I quite like this forum, but not the way it works.

'why it continually falls over under any kind of load?'

my guess is because its some kind of cobbled together ancient forum and they wont even consider upgrading as its been requested dozens of times before, people have offered to do the work, people have offered to pay for it etc

The post on here saying waiting delivery of a new board is 2 years old lol. Half the links on the site don't work, the ones that do haven't been updated in years.

Any new forum software could be customised to look just like this one, except it would have more features and be more reliable.

Rob in fairness we'd want a guarantee that a proposed upgrade was actually going to happen.

You yourself must acknowledge we have been promised upgrades and changes many times yet nothing has actually come to fruition.

Why not ask for suggestions on the main board where people will see it? A survey? Committee - all of these things I'd be willing to help with and it is very much my industry.

However I'd not be willing to help if nothing ever comes of it as it's a total waste of time.

Rob, register and have a browse around at the Sunderland message board RTG. That forum software is about £500, I’m sure you can crowd fund this from FMTTM members. It had revenue generation built in - advert management, subscriptions, ad free options for users for a fee etc people can pay a small fee tonhwve image galleries and the like.

Running a fanzine you should be looking at ways to digitise your content and payment not just for those that are abroad.

In terms of features;

You can post links, more than one link, the link will work without manually removing the S from https

You can post images that can load without being clicked on

Animated gifs are possible but don’t need to be enabled

You can attach files

Members can PM each other

Members can search for posts

Sub forums can be created for things like buy and sell, away travel/tickets, politics, Brexit, memorabilia etc

Sticky topics based on the forum you’re in

Proper world filtering

Advanced ban controls, people can be put on time outs or be banned from just certain sections.

Moderators by section

Users can quote the person they are discussing

Report functions take the moderator / admin to the lost in question.

Etc etc the list is endless

The look and feel of the site could be easily configured to be similar to FMTTM if users genuinely don’t want to change the appearance of the site, but it would update the site into the 21st century, help it grow and make everyone’s life a lot easier.

It’s almost a joke how bad this site actually works. On both android or iOS you have to zoom in 3-4 times before it sticks, each time it just zooms you back out, really frustrating.

And just look at how TheFair86's post has been rendered - I'm having to scroll horizontally to read it!

Rob - are you serious about it this time? TheFair86 is totally right that the mobile experience is terrible and if a site isn't mobile friendly then it's going to really suffer.

The lack of a response from Rob does rather infer we are wasting our time once again...

I have been following this discussion keenly. I have been a bit preoccupied of late on fanzine and a few other projects - but yes there are some really good points and ideas here.
I do like a lot of the functionality pointed to here though there are also some avenues am not really up for going down.
But yes some big food for thought. And action.

So Rob the question is - when? And will it really, actually happen this time?
