SLOW I have definitely seen it much faster.

Lately I been clicking on things multiple times ( seems like nothing is happening )

sorry about that, I rebooted the server and it seems to be running faster now.

Me too this morning. Can happen when the php session folder gets too big. Clearing that out periodically (eg once a week) usually solves it w/out you having to reboot.

Thanks for letting me know. The site seems to be responding quickly now but maybe my webhost was having some issues early this morning. I just rebooted to server. If you continue to have problems let me know, thanks!

That is a peculiarity of the ipad. Mine does it do. The solution is to avoid using the back button and use the sites navigation links instead.

quote function doesn't work from mobile view, Android phone using Chrome browser.

Could you add a forum search function on the mobile view?

A forum search on the mobile site would be great!

Thanks for pointing that out @Buco The quotes plugin seems to be incompatible with the mobile view in the new version of the forum. I'll have to wait till the developers update the plugin. For now, you can just switch to the desktop view if you need to use the quotes function.

I think there is another mobile theme I can use that has the search the function on it. I'll see if I can get that installed.

thanks....

Michael thanks for adding a search bar to the mobile view. Another question/request: can you make it so that there is some kind of notification right at the top of the page (on a mobile view) when you have a new message in the inbox? Maybe a red dot over the picture/avatar. As is you need to click on the picture to get it to drop down in order to see a notification. I've had messages sit for days without me realizing and I think I noticed other people mentioned something similar.
