Messages not showing up - titles only

well the right sidebar is optional. Mine's currently shut down.

That said I don't use a smart phone and on my tablet I always use the 'desktop' setting for websites. So not had any issues.

What i do find annoying is the socail media bar, it does have a 'piss off' arrow, but has started popping back by itself.

I have tried to explain that you get more forum members by supplying a web environment that's easy to use and not obviously begging for money.
It's the standard law of diminishing returns. You will always make more money by 'charging' a small amount to a large number of people, than by trying to squeeze a lot of money from a small amount of people (carbon will learn this fairly soon I think).
Plus the more active members a forum has, the more it will attract.

But as the bible says (probably) 'some fell on stony ground'.


Ah back on windows 7 and the adverts inserted into the actual posts have started showing up. What is annoying is that it's forcing the text to be reformatted into very narrow columns - even on posts without adverts.
Wonder of this is a java script - because my xp machine is on an old version of java and I don't have this problem on it. Whereas the windows 7 machines have up to date java and annoyingly narrow columns.

At the end of the day all this is just going to deter new forum members and drive away existing ones.
