What happened to the site, I used to be able to see the latest thread in each section on the right of the section name, but now on mobile device, a phone, its gone, even when running in desktop mode. Same goes for the thread counts, they disappeared also! Now its just the thread names and description on 2/3 of the page, the remaining 1/3 is ads!
 
Similar situation on my DROID, but I don't have the ad problem because I am a Gold Member.
 
i actually have wondered if any of you have compared the site on both cell fone and pc at home?
is there a difference in the way the posts are presented visually?
 
Thats exactly why I made this post. It used to be the same on both, but mobile device now sees less info.

Here's a little trick to put things right back to the way it was. Click on "Blue" and select "FBBO Blue"

So it seems there is no difference between blue and FBBO blue when you are on a pc, but there is when on a mobile device. I am guessing the default was changed to Blue instead of FBBO blue at some point, and that is why mobile device is different now.
 
It is actually different on a PC. Blue won't give you the recent posts icon in the header, FBBO Blue will.

Somewhat, yes. This is due to the lack of space on a phone. So there is less on a phone. You can see more data if you turn your phone horizontal.


We are in the process of updating the styles so that all the sites have the same styles / options. Please bear with us.
 
Thanks Joey for the update. I guess change is something I wont get used to! LOL

It also depends on the size of your phone. For example. On an iphone 7 plus, if you turn the phone sideways, you'll get the last poster information. On an iphone 7, you wont. This is because the 7 plus is wider then the 7.

There is only so much space on a phone and that will dictate what you see and dont see. To fit everything in I would have the make the text so small that you couldn't read it, which of course doesnt help either.

Trust me, it sucks even more for me because many things I have to change I dont want to change, but as technology changes, I have to keep pace. Personally, as far as running a forum like this, I hate phones because they are a complete pain in the *** due to their small size. I cant put everything on the menu bar because there isnt enough room, so things like the photo garages arent on the menu bar on a phone, you instead have to click the 3 bars on the left to get to them, and many people dont notice that so the area doesnt get the attention it should.
 
I just logged out of FBBO, rebooted my DROID, and logged back in to FBBO. Also, I accepted the cookies somewhere along the way.

I am now back to normal. :)
