MG TD TF 1500 - Site changed - terrible

What happened? ....and please, if you must rotate ads, make them all the same size so the screen doesn't move.

MAndrus

Not sure what you mean, no difference here. PJ

What are you talking about, and who's doing the talking? Bud
Bud Krueger

There is a change which for some reason does not allow you the usual five minutes grace to make any changes or correct any typos. Unless I have missed a trick!

Jerry -

The grace period ends if another post is made (any thread) within the five minutes.

This is another hack job! Someone has hacked this guys header info - again! Webmaster should delete this post!

This page used to look different. This is what I'm seeing now. Has the appearance changed for anyone else too?

MAndrus

Another shot.

MAndrus

Mandrus here.

Something happened. The forum is showing me as "arial small threadlist" whatever that's supposed to mean.

Holy cow!

I'll see if i can get back to normal.

MAndrus

OK... MAndrus here.

I accessed the site with my phone and it looked normal.... until I signed in and then it changed to what you see in the photos and I changed to "arial small threadlist..."

My sign-in got smudged or hacked up somehow.

If you go to the 'Customize' screen, can you reset your settings? Bud
Bud Krueger

I think Buds right... Your default font maybe got reset, go to the personal settings page and change it
Geoffrey M Baker

Just a little test after fiddling with the settings in 'customize'.

MAndrus

Ok, that's it. Not completely back to normal, but at least I'm me again.

Thanks.

There are MANY pages available on this web site. You are on the wrong one in your second photo above. You clicked on one of the 2 dropdown combo boxes in upper right of this screen.

If you have problems like this please just email the administrator and I can resolve them for you. The screen display is fully customisable. You can experiment with that with the "customise" option.

The "report abuse" link will get me, or if we have corresponded before you will have my direct email address. I don't publish that because I attract scammers and spammers.

You have to remember that the web has evolved since 1995 when we started this site and we have maintained backward compatibility.

The second screen grab is how it would have looked in 1995. Fashions change. It could come back into retro-vogue!

Mike, Thanks.

I didn't know if the site had changed, the site had been hacked, if my browser's setting had changed or if the most recent oprating system upgrade had wonked my settings, or...???

Glad it was an easy fix.

Thank you for running an excellent site.

Mike, what is causing some names to show up as a bunch of random characters? Is this something we can cause?
Thanks for this site!

I haven't looked in too much detail yet at the problem, but it won't be caused by individual users. It will be a server based software or possibly hardware issue.

If it happens to any of our users, the first thing to do please is let me know. I need as many examples as possible as this is a rare intermittent problem.

Just like all the best classic british car problems!

Same issue I wrote you about a month or so ago.

I have an icon on my desktop to take me to the MGB page. It currently shows up with all the posts listed. Not under the individual title, but each post separate.

Tried all the settings on the web and could not get it back to the old web page look.

Running chrome on a microsoft windows 8.1 laptop.

Here is what it looks like if I go to Owner and then to BBS

Bruce TD4139 Cunha

Try another browser. I'm running 8.1 using IE-11 on my laptop and have no issues. Don't remember what it was, but I had a couple issues with Chrome one time in the past and had to removed it to get things back in order. Needless to say, I don't use Chrome, Oh, and I don't use Goggle either! My search engine is Bing. PJ
