Yes but if you read this topic problems are outlined and a fix given - with a link to that given on every single page of the site. 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Gwiwer Posted January 14, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 14, 2023 A big improvement using the “Temporary” theme for which my thanks to @AY Mod and all those cowering beneath his wrath in the background. Emojis still not available (which isn’t really a big loss) but adverts, random spaces and oversized avatars are sorted. 2 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium NFWEM57 Posted January 14, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 14, 2023 Interesting. Clicked temp theme and the page was unreadable. Clicked back and no adverts..! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium jamie92208 Posted January 14, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 14, 2023 Thanks for your efforts Andy. However the temporary theme has made no difference. I still have all the stats, most popular post etc at the right taki g up quite a bit of the screen. There is still a white advert banner at the bottom and Digitrains is still around. Bon Courage as my neighbours would say. Jamie 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium New Haven Neil Posted January 14, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 14, 2023 Working fine here on temporary - thanks Andy, I was getting a bit fractious.

RMweb Gold RedgateModels Posted January 14, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 14, 2023 8 hours ago, AY Mod said: As a temporary measure I have created another theme (called Temporary) which Gold and Premium users can select from the Themes button at the bottom of the page. This will give a basic version without RMweb branding and may not include all functionality (not had chance to check it all over) without any ads. This theme will disappear when the issues are fixed and may involve further selection of themes after it's fixed. Just call it Gold and done, temp theme is way better 😁 2 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Geep7 Posted January 14, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 14, 2023 Thanks Andy for sorting the temp theme out. It's made it much more bearable whilst I'm away at an exhibition for the weekend and only have my mobile. 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do some people/cultures insist on telling customers what they want to hear, rather than the truth - which apparently is that they have no idea of when it's going to be fixed. when I worked in IT support I applied the Scotty principal x3 my estimated fix time to the user knowing 9 out of 10 times I could deliver much faster than advised 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted January 15, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 15, 2023 'Temporary' at least makes it possible see the PM icon which saves stabbing around in the dark in the hope of actually hitting it (yes, that even worked sometimes). So thanks Andy - fingers crossed for the return to normality at some time. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted January 15, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 15, 2023 One interesting thing I've had within a few minutes of going to 'Temporary'. If l land on a page where the format is, how shall I put it? - 'not as it should be' - reloading the page has thus far corrected it. 1 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So thanks Andy - fingers crossed for the return to normality at some time. I have to say that, apart from the occasional need to reload a page, the "temporary" theme, with white text on blue and black text on white, is much brighter and clearer than the previous Premium theme. 2 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bambuko Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 I am neither gold nor premium, I don't mind discrete adverts that don't get in my way, but as it is the forum is totally not usable on my Android tablet. Is there any solution to this problem, please? 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a CSS that is out of date, a quick refresh makes it go away though. Not worth Andy's time investigating IMHO, hopefully the "proper" themes will be sorted out by the Ad techs now the weekend is over ....... 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
