malem Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Anyone have any update/ fix yet? Being stuck in "mobile version" on a desktop is like wet underwear- it can be dealt with, but everytime you move, you can't forget it is present. Did you try the complex workaround I posted in reply #20? Doing this got me out of mobile mode, after I stuck myself in it while testing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browntggrr Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 ^ It worked. Thanks malem! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgtoad67 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Quick update for internet explorer users. I have went to Google Chrome (Sad to say, what a day) and I can post photos, again, I believe if one may get the internet explorer updated one may post photos, I have yet to try this method but I am glad to say I think my laptop was the only problem. Except for the mobile, which still is having issues. Chrome or Firefox are almost always better options for browsing than Internet Explorer. I work in IT at my University and IE 6, 7, 8, and 9 are my worst enemies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work in IT at my University and IE 6, 7, 8, and 9 are my worst enemies. No matter which browser you use, clearing your cache is likely to fix missing images and broken richtext editor buttons. I posted instructions for all major browsers, including mobile, in reply #13. Switching to another browser would have the same effect, but you don't need to. (I have plenty of dislike for IE too. I'd prefer that everyone use Firefox, but all major browsers are pretty good with web standards nowadays. It comes down to privacy, performance, and choice of features/add-ons.) You might want to PM Dane. It would be much appreciated. I sent him a PM the other day with the information I found about the mobile site problem, but it looks like he hasn't got it yet. Until it's fixed, you can do the workaround as long as your browser supports viewing the page's HTML source. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndyGuy4KI Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Still stuck in mobile here.... When I do a quote it seems I do not see the person I am quoting until I have made the post. Anyone else seeing that? Not a big deal, but if I am quoting multiple people it might be a little confusing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else seeing that? Not a big deal, but if I am quoting multiple people it might be a little confusing. Yep. That's because the top line of the quote box that identifies who is being quoted is now added by JavaScript after the page begins loading rather than being present in the HTML page source from the beginning, and that JavaScript only runs once during page loading, thus it doesn't work when the edit box is modified. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB1 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 What I did was I just pressed the button, which my screen popped up with "open in a new window" or "open" I went with the "open in a new window" try that and you may have success.

Dane Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Added a new skin for people asking for something other than the default. The old skin is also available to change back to if you prefer under "Change Theme" in the bottom left hand corner. Also is anyone else still having the issue The Interpreter had? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndyGuy4KI Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I see others have been successful at embedding a youtube video since the theme change, but I was have not.

Captain Nemo Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 (edited) Well now a new problem has occurred, I was trying to change over to the new theme and accidentally clicked on the mobile theme and now I am unable to change it back. There is no option to change the theme. The 'full version' button at the page does nothing.Edit: Thanks Malem! I have the full version back now.

Insert the url with a protocol of http instead of https (secure HTTP). Since YouTube now uses https by default when you log in, the forum software should be updated to recognize these URLs. Until then, just change https:// to http:// 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mccarthysnerd Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 The updated site is giving me a problem, When I get on KIC on here on my PC, It is on mobile mode and wont let me see the regular KIC forums site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malem Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 ^ You should be able to change to one of the two desktop themes using a button at the bottom of the main (mobile) forum index. If that's still broken, you can use the workaround I posted earlier in this thread, in post #20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
