Mobile Web looks different

[John&LaLa]

I use an android and my mobile web is acting fery odd this morning. I basically see the site map of CC at the top and have to scroll quite a bit to get where I want to be.

 

Any thoughts?

[CC Help Jenn]

I know they are working on some nav changes but I don't know that this would be an effect -- does it still look that way for you.  I only have my laptop and apple devices to test on so I can't check myself unfortunately

My mobile looks this way and actually my home desktop PC looks this way using ie, edge, and Chrome.

Have to scroll thru what appears to be the site map before getting to the area you want to go.

Laptop seems fine. I run W10 and use Chrome

The boards are hosed on computers too. On my Mac using Safari the site is a mess. I can work around it but it is a mess on my laptop.

No problem here.  EM

Just logged on again and it seemed normal this time.

My desktop running Firefox is unusable. The forums are on top of the site map and I can’t open anything.

On my Mac with Safari, I am seeing the 'site map' as a transparent overlay of the page.

 

The 'site map' remains fixed in location, and I can scroll the normal page under it.  I cannot click any of the normal links.

 

Some tests with alternate browsers showed the site was still not fully functional in Chrome [could not log in], FireFox [the 'NoScript' extension may be blocking things]

A fairly recent version of Opera seems to work - need to see when/if things break when I update it to the current version

[TheOldBear]

Used Safari's develop menu to change the user agent string to pretend its an iPad - and at first glance things look normal [can post this comment]

Looking good on my android, its a little different up top. But no more scrolling. 

 

Thanks Jenn

Once I cleared my cache everything looks fine.

No mobile devices, here -- but my desktop (with Windows10 and Firefox) has had the same issue, since last night. This morning, I was actually able to go directly to the 'normal' home page -- but there was NO log-in button, so I gave up for a while. Glad to see that the mods/admins/techs are working on the problem.

Note red bar at top of pages says We are working on a few issues. Click it and you will see the following:

 

We are working out some technical difficulties in relation to the top navigation bars and the missing sign in on the boards.  

 

Thank you for your patience

This is exactly what I was experiencing.  After a number of hours I decided to delete all website data for Cruise Critic and I was functional again.

Host Kat -- Wanted to send a big "Thank You!" to you, Jenn, and the rest of the crew, who've been working so hard to fix the glitches. Just one tiny problem -- where did our 'log-out' button go?

[Host Kat]

Thank you, but as a volunteer I had nothing to do with it.

 

For me, I always click my user name appearing over the small Search bubble for the boards and beside the Notifications bell. Then I can click Sign Out in the dropdown menu.

Typo due to fat fingers & skinny laptop keys!

Thank you!     Deleting all cookies and website data on the iPad finally fixed it.  (my desktop was fine)

Using the forum on my mobile device via the website (not Tapatalk), I'm constantly getting advertisement pop-ups without clicking on the advertisement. It seems to be any time an advertisement is touched when scrolling, although not clicked (tapped) the ad opens. Normally you could touch any link, image, advertisement, etc, without opening it, as long as you were scrolling or moving your finger and not deliberately tapping. This is very annoying as I read muti-page threads with a lot of scrolling and I'm constantly having to close tabs that are opening. This happens to me regardless of whether I'm viewing the mobile or desktop site. This is the only site that this happens on which makes it very hard to remember to watch where you scroll as it doesn't happen elsewhere. 

 

I use Google Chrome on Android 10. The only ads I see on CC recently are for Viking Cruises. I don't know if it's a problem with those ads specifically or with the CC site.

The pop ups have been happening for quite a while now.

Thanks, Host Kat. I had been using the user-name drop-down menu to sign out. But, thankfully, the 'log-out' button magically re-appeared, yesterday. 😊

Since whatever update was made the link which takes you to the first new post doesn’t work as well.  The CC banner covers the first few sentences so you have to scroll up.

 

See that post with the dog in the avatar?  There’s a sentence hidden there.
