Let there be LOOOOONNNG LINKS! And other updates.

[Horton]

I think the problem is finally fixed. I apologize to all of you who had to deal with my grumpiness over this issue.

 

There have been some other updates to the site especially for Mobile. If anyone has any new problems please let me know.

 

You guys think Mobile loads faster now?

[oldjeep]

Yes, the double load that I've always seen seems to be gone

[Orlando76]

Thanks Horton for the work you do on the site. I wish the other forums I frequent were as user friendly as BOS and wish the facilitators were as involved as you.

[Horton]

That's so awesome. I fix things I've never even seen. In all cases any improvements i made to the site can be filed under the heading of " even a blind pig occasionally finds an acorn"

[Wish]

Wow..that seems a lot faster! Well done @Horton

[Mateo_Vargas]

What are you working on next? World peace?

[rockdog]

Loads fast, awesome!

Well somebody had to do it.

[Bill22]

@ozski you broke it! In Horton's test it looked good, now not so good. Seriously, no joke.

[Bill22]

It looks the same on iPhone 5s and 7 on iOS 11.2.6

 

Edit: GOOD news the mobile site is 3X faster!

@ozski long link just pushed words off my screen. As well as my typing now where I have to turn the phone side ads to see the entire text box

[Wish]

now I can't get to the edit box to change "ads" to "ways"

[Wish]

Seems to be just this thread.

@Horton since you are making this site so wonderful and all, why not take some of your skill set and apply it to my skiing!! I could use the Horton touch.. I have been growing my hair out and I bought some glasses to wear whilst on the water, but I can't seem to improve my ball count. Could be the beer in my belly, but I would prefer to think of it as a glitch in my operating system. Help!

At least it’s faster.

 

Bummer about the long links

Maybe we just type max 10 words

Per line :-)

 

Just

[Horton]

Still broken?

[Bill22]

Fixed now!

 

Well 1-2 letters are off the screen but I can easily scroll over to see it. Before there was no ability to scroll.

[Bill22]

See pic

[Wish]

Yep, there's a few letters running off the screen. But text box is working. Also did u add the ability to pinch zoom? I like that of you did.

Here's a website to make links even longer:

@escmanaze link just broke the view on my iphone6

[Horton]

:'(

[schafer]

The “Used Crossover Advice” thread is running off the page for my iPhone. Maybe it’s time for a new phone?

[dchristman]

@schafer maybe best to avoid that thread... it appears to be a breeding ground for "VD" :p

[Horton]

@schafer you have my permission to berate whoever in that thread posted a long length.

[schafer]

@dchristman I agree. It wasn’t meant to be. Direct Drive is all I will ever need anyways.

[schafer]

@Horton I don’t think I’ll find any Prostar info in that thread.... not worth the risk of going back in

[Wish]

I thought long links were fixed...no??

[Horton]

@Wish apparently the issue is not completely fixed but the threshold for how long a Link can be before breaks the page is better. It's not my highest priority so I don't exactly know where that threshold is but when I get my head above water I'll figure it out

[Wish]

Ah..ok I'll make sure to still try and shortn them. Thought it was fixed so I posted a long link. Ooops.
