I have sent an email to Cbox support, I may need to get more detail on the precise issues you are having, is it a formatting issue for the most part? I did notice that when I use my old book mark I do not see the newsbox I get an oops message so I just have hit the Home button on top to get me to the new main page and I have to change my bookmark of course Canadia - Hi I finally got to view the newsbox on my iphone - I had to open the link that said "desktop" at the end of the forums page shown on my ipad. This takes me to the format for my computer and it shows the newsbox Just wanted to note that you will only have to select the "desktop" option once since your iphone will reload to that option. All is good

Just to add to this, it may not even be related. ProBoards have been having server issues, I believe they are also updating their servers. Would be good if this is the answer to our pesky gremlins

Thanks Daisy I just got an email from Cbox, so it looks like the formatting issue is the only problem, and I did not know Proboard was updating their servers I did tell him they were updating the site though he said there may be a code adjustment to be made and I am going to PM you

Just signed into the blue chat to see if this issue had been fixed yet and the right side of the chat box is still cut off. I can't log in because that part at the bottom is cut off. Is this an issue with proboards? Is there anything I can do to fix it? Thanks ladies!

Hiya ladies! Am also getting the choppy offy thing (technical term!) with the news box on iPad. But everything else is cool. Thank you so much again Daisy and anyone else involved for all your hard work! You guys rock! X

CBox support staff are looking into it - we are waiting to hear back, they had to look at our code and probably try out the site on a iPhone and iPad as well to see if they can make an adjustment from their end if anyone finds the formatting is suddenly working let us know. I suspect we won't hear anything until Monday unless these guys work over the weekend
Is there any way to reduce the size of the screen and see if that reduces the size of the Cbox in the meantime or is that getting too small, or if changing the browser makes a difference? I can't even imagine this website on a phone screen, I find it small enough on the laptop LOL
I am a dinosaur and a cheap one, my phone is Pay As You Go so no data plan, though the cost of the landline phone is getting outrageous, time for some serious rethinking, like maybe even doing away with the fax machine, yes I still have a stand alone fax machine

Google Chrome which is my normal choice is ok except the bottom of both boxes are blank, so I can't post only read. On my IPad the right side of the boxes are cut off but everything else is fine. If I keep swapping around, then can do everything Must tell you that Google Chrome had its problem before WO made the change.....maybe for a few weeks. Probably incompetent user error!

As an idea I regenerated the code for the newsbox, so let me know if that makes any difference. I am not actually changing anything when I regenerate the code, just a security code number is randomly assigned by the Cbox program, but I figure what the heck, why not give it a shot.
I thought maybe regenerating the code and then installing into the new board format might help given it is a formatting issue. I'll wait and see if anyone is noticing a difference before I try it out with the chatbox.
It is so frustrating with all the issues with different servers and part of the issue is which version of Windows you are using too, I know a lot of stuff is not working properly because I can't update to the latest version of the browsers which are meant for Windows 7.
But then again all the iPhones and iPads run on Mac don't they? But not all the cell phones.
Right now Google Chrome works best for me desktop wise yet I had no problem with Firefox up until about a year ago but I had to switch, too too slow. I use IE for my business sites, Chrome for WO and personal surfing and I don't use Firefox at all now. And to me it was a godsend when I first started using it. Why do they break what did not need fixing.

Firefox works for me but doesn't work well on my email. Strange!!!

Yes, please, I need lots of help! As soon as proboards "improved" themselves, this wonderful site is practically unusable. It is now sooooo slooooow. For instance, it takes about 20 minutes to get into and out of the Olympus Has Fallen thread. And twice the site has frozen up all together and I had to turn off my pc to get out. I love this site so much (whining) I need this site! But I can't use it at all like this. There are several other problems, but the slowness is the worst. I've run security scans, dumped cookies, done a defrag, nothing makes any difference. PS: One othe other problems is that what I type into this box runs off at the sides so that I can't re-read what I've typed in here, and I have no idea if I'm making any sense at all.

Larue I'm sorry that you are having problems with the board. Which browser are you using?
