ChatFlap button fixed for safari/apple browsers. It was also not working on some older android phones - now fixed. So the button should appear AND work now for everyone.

Jinx, I just booted up my prehistoric Samsung Galaxy S4 and was able to open your profile and photos using the basic/standard internet browser.
However, my friend using iPhone still can't open your profile.
I've asked my friends on Facebook here in Holland if someone can lend me an old iPhone for testing. So far no joy.

Thanks, good to know it's working more and more.
Now to get it used more and more (think it will be when we swap over to the new website)

just tried chat on my old (steam driven) lappy and I am very happy to report that IT WORKS! YIPPPEEEE!!

No colour to the text? Well that's  a step back. It's  easier to follow conversation when a colour is associated with a chatter.

Since I stopped using a PC my typing speed has dropped considerably, that's  why I don't  use  the chat room anymore.

I'm  waiting for the new site to be fully functioning before I use it. I can't  be doing with all this toing and froing.

Can't  say I understand why standard members will get nearly as many benefits as premium members. I think we'll lose quite a lot of premium members. Just my HO

Sandi, just to clarify about standard members getting more features. This is temporary! Just to get more people to move over to the new site.

I may next year try something completely new... making the site free completely for everyone, with a small popup sometimes asking people to donate.
If it works and people donate we'll keep it. If not we'll go back to the old system.

Flap chat bar opens too willingly on my desktop...overlaps stuff I'm clicking on in other tabs...such as photo album.

I've uploaded 3 images to an album called BM Beta on my profile.
Used your profile pics as a comparison to see difference in how they display.
Although - with respect - I did find someone with a lovelier smile :)
Hope that helps.

You can see with Marsha's image that the picture overlaps the chatroom tab, so with touch / click functions, they collide.

My profile pics - as the user logged in - displays images tabbed to the left with no scroll option.

Yours shows a set of images across the page in a landscape mode.

Fixed. Now when you open photos it will hide the flap, and when you close photos the flap will come back.

But - i see in your screenshot you're not really seeing all of the flap, just part of it. Weird.

Matt, you may not want to hear this but the 'chat flap' (that sounds SO wrong!) has disappeared on my phone I didn't have a problem before and it was there on Friday evening. It disappeared over the weekend sometime (gone on holiday perhaps?!) I tried on Monday and gave up n used the old site. It's not been seen since. Don't know what else to say except ...Grrrrr!Angry

Hmmm, nothing has changed to be honest. I was away all weekend and didn't change anything in the code at all.

Try pressing CTRL+F5 (Windows, not sure about Apples). Also log out and back in again.

I see the Chat flap now and can use it

I'm with JP on this one, just bang it on the table.

What browser are you using? Mobile vs desktop? Can you try some other devices for me? Need to know if it's your browser or account

Matt, I don't know if you saw the suggestion xsuzix made in Chat, with regards to the 'flap', the other day?

So putting it out there for your consideration (personally I thought was was a great idea, don't know about everyone else) ....

What if the 'flap' could flash when someone is posting?

My suggestion is even if it was only when chat hadn't been used for a period of time. Rather than constantly when conversation is taking place, just have it flash intermittently

It is so unobtrusive that I no longer notice it when in the forums.

Don't know if it possible or indeed whether you/others would want it to?

Great ideađź’ˇ xsuzix
