Did this forum go through a major update? - Vle045 - 11-21-2024

Did I mess up a setting or did this forum completely change? I can’t find anything. It is much harder to see new threads. Whatever happened, I hate it. Sad

Looks and feels the same to me.

Towards the bottom of every page, you should see a link and/or a drop-down menu to allow you to switch between Versions or Themes (e.g., Desktop Version, Mobile Version, Full Version). Depending on which browser you are using, one version or theme or another may be listed as "Default," meaning the default version for that browser. Try to switch to Full Version or Desktop Version, then if given a further choice, Default.

Learned something new -- I'll stick with default please!

There hasn't been a major update to MyBB for years.  The 1.8x version goes back to 2014.

I think I messed up the setting. When I was on my phone the other day, I tried to switch to full version. I switched something, but now it looks terrible on all my devices. Now when I click on switch to full version nothing happens. I am typically on my iPad which normally would look the same as my laptop. I’ll have to pull out the laptop and see how it looks. Ugh.

Hooray. Ok, I went BACK to my phone and found that “default” option that Johnathan mentioned and it automatically fixed it for my iPad too. So weird that none of that was visible on my iPad. Whatever I flipped it to was terrible!

The browser features on the iphone/ipad and the ipad mini, all are slimmed down when you're in a different view, it does cause issues as some buttons and menu don't show up...

You might be referring to the mobile theme. You can tell you're using the mobile theme if it says "Theme Freak" at the bottom.

On larger screens, such as tablets, you can usually use the desktop version without any issues, which provides access to more features.
