[/quote] It is - we get some donations from people who sell items and now I'm selling polo shirts too but we're sailing close to the wind with all that's happened recently. It would be nice to buy the fastest and best server we can but I can't afford it myself yet. There have been some performance tweaks just now, so the site should be much quicker. ped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_nottm Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Woo.... I can now see it on my iPhone. Looks really good guys, and thanks for all your continued effort on this site. It's a big community here and keeping it running is normally a thankless task. Here's some thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ped Posted September 19, 2011 Author Share Posted September 19, 2011 A few updates: Speed - now really fast (or should be) Spiderman - should be dancing again soon (happyjack's avatar) Mobile interface - full site now working on mobiles, specific mobile skin app being worked on as an option at the moment. Calender should be on the way - on it Smaller issues raised by others RE browser issues/niggles - all being sorted bit by bit Thanks again for the patience and keep the faith, we're getting there!

[/quote] OK I'm going to set a donation target on the home page. Setup and server will be about £500 all told to last about 2 months, so I'll see how it goes. Good idea I don;t like to beg but it would be nice to have lot sof space for us to stretch our legs. ped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe there will be an update released by Invasion at some point. For now, I just use the 'new content' filters and I can easily track my threads there. on less busy threads the notifications are great, but on threads like this they get a bit much, so just use them wisely, I guess.

Bigwan Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Like the look of things so far, especially the mobile version. Only problem I'm having is that sometimes I can use the mobile site and sometimes it's the full site (iPhone 4). Any ideas why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's working well for me now that [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/155619-new-site-problem-ordering-of-my-content/page__fromsearch__1"]this bug[/url] appears to be fixed.
