You're most welcome!
The mobile template has had some work, hopefully it will be a lot more useable now, but if you come across further annoyances with it please let us know.
Next up is fixing profile editing, again please accept our apologies for this going astray, should you need to make any edits in the interim, please email info@draytek.co.uk and they'll get actioned.
Update:
You should now be able to view and edit your profile using the menu items between "My Topics" and "Search".

Hi,
Another little issue worth noting. Text/characters that are placed closely together, are being displayed as a ‘?’. I imagine this is an auto-format conversion on the text into an emoji character, but the emoji isn’t displayed, well not on an iPhone browser anyway.
This surely isn’t useful for this forum, as many combinations of characters will be placed together during technical explanations etc, and having an emoji appear in the middle will get really confusing.
See the post “Configuring LAN ports”
(post #2):
Quote:
“…A subnet being 192.168.x.1 (x=1-8)…”
The ‘8)’ is being converted into an emoji. On a normal desktop browser the ‘?’ doesn’t appear and all looks as it should be, but on an iPhone it is not displayed correctly.
Also, there is no ‘Save’ option for your drafted messages, which was really useful on the old forum. It meant you could continue a post you hadn’t been able to finish explaining in one sitting. That ‘Save/Load’ feature seems to have gone. In both the ‘Quick Reply’ & normal ‘Reply’ editor, you can’t ‘Save/Load’.
On a normal desktop browser you have the option to open “Go to editor…” from a ‘Quick Reply’ window, that option doesn’t appear on an iPhone.

Hi,
And obviously, all the spam-bot posts! We never used to get these on the old forum.
Today there are six new topics, all using this new forum as a general advertisement board.
Thanks.

Good morning HodgesanDY,
I completely agree on the emoji issue, the offending ones like 8) were removed pre-launch, but it seems the script insists on trying to display an image for it anyway - we will get that resolved, along with the missing "go to editor" button on mobile.
I'll be cleaning up spam and adding to our countermeasures to keep them away.
Thank you for pointing out the draft functionality, it seems that sadly it isn't a feature offered at the moment, but we may get one built if it was popular on the old one.
Update
The editor button should now be functional on mobile, and the frustrating issue with emoji's should be resolved too

Hi Chris,
In the 'Profile' section, where you have your 'Posts', 'Favorites' and 'Thank You' tabs, if you click on 'Posts' and scroll to the bottom, you can see page numbers listed, mine is showing up to 13 pages, but if you click on ANY of the page options '...13', 'Next Article' or 'End' it jumps to your 'Recent Posts' list, which is currently only 2 pages.
This is a pain when trying to reference topics you have previously posted, and in great detail.
Thanks
Ps, please can we have the save/load drafts feature back 🙏🏼?
