    OK a weird thing I've been noticing for a couple of months
    Samsung Tab Pro 10.1
    Android 4.4.2
    Chrome Browser

    Sometimes my touch position gets offset. Seems to be verticle more that horizontal. IOW I touch the Post Reply button but it thinks I am touching above that in the text box. I have to touch about 1/2" below the post button and then you see it darken like it is being touched and the post will post. If it is occuring it will also affect touching within the text box to get the cursor where I want it I have to touch below the spot somewhere. It seems to clear after a screen refresh or the post is made and is just a temp thing. I don't see this in other websites or other apps. Just here.

    Any ideas?

    Last night when I was trying to do s Reply using Win 7 the quote did not appear as usual. Finally after several attempts I was able to find the quote, but lower on my screen, with two others even lower. Seems normal tonight but your issue seems slightly similar.

    Something new I have been noticing in that in my Alerts if I click on a listed post it doesn't take me back to that post. At fist I was thinking that post must have been deleted but if I try a couple of times if finally takes me to the correct post.

    Am I the only one who is still having these issues? I'm constantly scrolling through active topics to see if there are new posts in threads I'm participating in. The notifications are so random for me, and I almost never get notifications after the first day.

    Scrolled through the first 5 pages of new posts, and found new posts in six threads I'm active in.

    I'm still having problems with email notifications. They're working now, but I don't know how long will the notifications will last.

    I'm having problems with all notifications, but am unable to get a response to my questions. I hope you have better luck, as I would really appreciate an answer.

    Until they fix it, I kinda just go with it (like I have a choice). When the emails work, I'm active. When they aren't, I'm not.

    It would be nice to get acknowledgement that they are aware of this issue and either A: Are working on a fix or B: Have no intention of fixing it or C: It's on the list but super low priority.

    As I noted before sometimes when I touch a listed post in my alerts it takes me to the bottom if the page Orbison on by I have to scroll up to find it.
    Still having the problem with my touch screen gets "offset" in that I have tobtiuch about a half inch below where I want the cursor to go.

    Howdy,

    What's with the bold font? I see bold fonts everywhere even when I am not logged in.. :???:
    Cleared my cookies recently, if that makes any difference.

    Looks the same here, and I haven't done a thing to my cookies. Worst part is I can hardly tell that "bold fonts everywhere" was bolded by me in the quote above.

    New BOLD fonts are quite displeasing.
    Please go back to the old font.

    Thank you to everyone for your input. We really appreciate it.

    Can you make 8-parenthesis only show as a smiley when there's a space, tab or CR/LF in front of the combo?

    If I try to write 228 inside parenthesis, it shows up as (228).

    Just edit the content and replace it with the term "deleted"

    Sort of. You can PM with a small group. I don’t remember the number… maybe six people.

    Unless it's already been covered in the twenty odd pages in this thread, most of the writing in the search option is in such a light grey colour, it's impossible to read unless I zoom in

    Maybe your tablet needs to find out the great beyond, dumpster time. Seriously, sounds like a compatibility issue. Have you tried a different browser? Firefox, MS Edge, Opera, see if they work, if not, then it would be the tablet's firmware/forum software incompatibility.
