So downloaded the new Android update and the quote issue is fixed.... sort of. Most quoted posts make it clear who made the initial quote, however some quotes don't and the text is turned white making it hard to read.

The new update has fixed my quotation problems as far as I can see.

Anyone else keep getting signed back out when using Chrome.

Yup.Most of yesterday afternoon and right now.Signs me out and won't let me post.

Thanks very much for this Ric, I have passed your thoughts on to the developer who created our team theme and see what he reckons.

No problems. The developer will have a better view of what is going on as he can see the back end code and I'm just making guesses from what is served to the client, but I'm glad if that helps in any way.

Heh, there is also the chance I'm completely wrong with the above.. ..but then again my ego won't let me to accept that..

[Div]

Can't recreate that here in Chrome I'm afraid. Can you try clearing temp files and see if that helps mate ?

My notifications aren't coming up in the notifications section on the mobile app, and I only sometimes get a notifications on my phone when someone quotes me?any way this can be fixed?cheers

[The Ginger Prince]

I'm Another getting these annoying ads.

[Smurph]

Yeah, it's happening to me too. Div posted saying it's moving to a new server or something so I'd just assume it's teething issues.

[Div]

Still having an issue with "double quoting" on the app.

When I quoted Div's post, which says "Thanks for that Ric", it also quotes Ric's post in full.

I will test tomorrow and add that to the bug tracker if I can reproduce.

Ta.

Still getting problems intermittently with this, tping this no problem, ah tere wasone, being vey caeul typing but this is what happens. No problems on other forums that I use.

[CityDave]

Kept getting signed out both yesterday and on Saturday every time I changed pages, also during the weekend some of the ads failing to load would set off my web browser warning while the page froze, so I would have to cancel loading this ad to continue.

Also one of the ads, a survey keeps coming up in the center of the screen today, getting in the way.

Notifications dont go away on the mobile site, you need to take them away on the desktop site

[capybara]

Cannot edit my own posts? says I don't have permission.

Going to try it on more options

[Div]

That's a very generous offer. Appreciated.

As a way of reciprocating you PM me your address and I'll send someone round to pick up your toys.

I would do that but the server is probably going to be down by the time I've composed the message.

[Smurph]

On my kindle, the top two comments of every thread are just blank. Will check on my phone if it's the same.

I can't get P&B on my phone for some reason. At least on the kindle I can edit though.

The desktop version keeps logging me out whenever I close the browser (Firefox). The "remember me" option is definitely ticked and I've ensured that pieandbovril has been "allowed" in the cookie exceptions. Nothing seems to work. Anyone any ideas?

Delete your cookies and temporary internet files. It's the new "have you tried switching off and on again?", and works for most things.

[Lou Brusch]

Yes we are trialling some ads on the App. Hoping to get rid of the annoying ones and make them more relevant. Bear with us.

'Casual contacts on Mobile Flirt.com'

Long way to go

I had deleted cookies but I'll try the temp files tonight thanks

It goes through spells for me. I had a spell of about an hour where it ran slow and got the message saying the website host was at fault, went away for a couple of hours, came back, and its perfect

Newline problem returned for me on stock android browser. Plus if quoting a post it just hangs as "saving post" when I try to reply.

Possibly related problems? Ie I think all my quoted replies included a newline?? Edit....see, this meant to have newline.

Edit 2 and after edit 1 the newline has taken....
