Can you come checkout the forums in general, and give me some feedback please?

There are a couple of glitches I'm working through but could you guys have a browse around it should be quite low advert wise. See my other thread in Whats New with regards to the advert changes. I think you'll like them.

But I'd like to take this chance to ask any member to please give me feedback whether on the forum, me myself, a forum category issue, anything that you think would help get some posting going on moving forward.

Please give me some feedback, any feedback at all. And I'll respond to each and every one of you and will keep doing so when you reply again.

I hope to get some constructive criticism and suggestions and things.

If you agree with other people's posts click like so I can get a feel on the % of people that subject bothers etc.

Need some members involved in the place and I think this is a good start in trying to understand where I'm going wrong.

Thanks
Dan

There seems to be an intermittent issue with the 'theme' mechanism for pages. I normally look at the "What's New" listing and follow links to the threads from there. Sometimes the theme works fine (blue background and borders) and sometimes it doesn't (white background, top menu background is transparent, editing box does not highlight selection). I've attached a screenshot of the "doesn't case". Both Safari and Firefox behave the same.

I've cleared caches, reloaded pages, restarted my computer, etc. I've checked the browser console. There are two errors logged for this page:

[Error] ReferenceError: Can't find variable: $
Global Code (can-you-come-checkout-the-forums-in-general-and-give-me-some-feedback-please.134117:159)
[Error] ReferenceError: Can't find variable: jQuery
Global Code (editor.min.js:7:141)

This has started happening since the most recent update.

Good hunting!

And suddenly it's working again! The editor is now highlighting the selected text correctly. The error messages are still present in the console so they are probably a red herring.

And the annoying auto-merging of posts seems to be back. Last time this was enabled it made threads harder to comprehend by re-ordering the dialog.

@Chuck mate can you see if the error messages are still there in console for me?

I think I've removed everything using JQuery which has been discontinued in this version.

Some add on was still asking for it when it wasn't there.

Tilers forums is at the stage where it's half loading blue half invisible lol

And elec didn't work twice so they're staying on the old version for a few weeks longer.

And I broke diytalk and contractortalk beyond repair so those will be fresh installs again

I haven't read all above but mine is sometimes OK sometimes like a ghost. Meaning there's no colour and things are on top of each other. There are times I log in and the boxes aren't there so I guess where they are. I presumed you were working on it and that's why it looks odd.
Mostly it looks OK.

Yeah it should be just a cache issue but may be something else I'm near all the time as was working in the others. Tilers defo doing it loads like when this was first done.

The input box totally went on electricians so pulled that back while I suss it out properly on these two.

The second jQuery error seems to have gone but the other one:

[Error] ReferenceError: Can't find variable: $
Global Code (can-you-come-checkout-the-forums-in-general-and-give-me-some-feedback-please.134117:155)

is still there. It seems to be triggered by this line:

<script>$(".flags").on('touch click',function(){if(event.handled===false)return

If you're using a CDN, could it be that it's sometimes delivering stale copies of the site, i.e. needs its cache purging?
