It appears that almost all the buttons have transformed into little rectangles. I don't know if this is happening with other devices but this is what it looks like on my kindle fire. On my MacBook yeah it’s wacky, but on my phone it’s fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aveschapinas Posted February 12, 2021 Author Share Posted February 12, 2021 I'd suggest clearing your cache and restarting your device if the site isn't showing properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aveschapinas Posted February 12, 2021 Author Share Posted February 12, 2021 The administrator has asked me to share the following information with you: "Yesterday we moved the forum to a new, more reliable and less hackable server." Some posts may have been lost during the transition since backups take some time, and some could have been missed in the last backup. The administrator and programmer are looking into any other problems that may have occurred so please report them here. Clearning cache may be necessary to make the site work properly, so that's a good place to start if things are looking odd (also if others still can't get into the site). We apologize for the inconvenience and hope the new server will be more stable. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I have noticed that lots of posts have been lost, but no topics have been lost. No problem about losing it, as long as these great forums are still available to the public. ?? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aveschapinas Posted February 12, 2021 Author Share Posted February 12, 2021 The Icons were also looking different on my phone, and restarting fixed it. So please restart/clear your cache if you're having problems! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, yesterday morning I came on, everything was how @Aidan Bshowed, and I was confused. Last night, I came on and the forums would not open. I got worried that the site would crash like I’d did a few years ago before I joined. Now that it’s back, I am happy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I just used over 10 in older share your best photo of the day posts, and I had reacted to a few before that, and I just liked your post so it seems like somethings different. Is it normal to toss around firecrackers at the duck pond? I’ll have to bring some to my birders walk tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Spencer Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 I encourage everyone to use a 'Like' to educate agreement with someone else's identification, esp if you only want to agree without adding information. We can make these 'Reputation' ratings mean something. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can make these 'Reputation' ratings mean something. It will also make the forums more streamlined and reduce the "agreed" posts. I personally don't pay attention to the reputation ratings and don't plan to even now. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
