Sorry if this has been discussed already but how do i login when using IE11 ? The conversations, notifications and profile dropdown icons are all missing?

Thom said:
I use IE 11. If you are referring to the icons at the upper right on the page ... zoom in and out (for me Ctrl/mouse wheel) slowly you will see that they eventually appear and then disappear.

The trick is to zoom to a size that displays them and stay there.

My GUESS is that you will find they appear when you increase the size you have been using for years by just a small amount.

We have this bug submitted, but less than 3% traffic is IE so it's a little lower on the list. It's the 'toggle width' button, bottom left of the website, that you can click to cause them to slide out of hiding.

You still need to zoom to be able to see those icons, in my case now to 115% which affects any more tabs which you open afterwards, a real pain in the ass.

I'm surprised that its only 3% as a lot of ppl would be forced by workplace policy to use IE as their browser. But whatever, low priority, fine

I like the layout a lot. Ads as post work and you can join the VIP program if the ads really bother you.

You need a better Android News icon though.

Thom · Mar 28, 2017

I enlarge it until the right column goes away and it's content is move to the bottom of what was the center column.

You can also toggle the left column off with the three bars in the top.

If you zoom a little to make everything larger ... just before the right column disappears ... the toggle width button disappears.

I'd be okay with donating money towards an iOS app. I'm literally sitting on about 3 iOS devices and 4 Androids. However my primary is currently an iOS due to getting that Note 7 disappointment.

Checked with Rob, there are no plans to develop an iOS app. Sorry

The_Chief · Mar 30, 2017

Member DannyDet started a thread that has some interesting gripes in it, and I'm inclined to agree with a bit of it. In essence, it's more difficult to follow watched threads now, and the "Trending Topics" pane on the right is pretty much irrelevant to probably 90+% of members who come here for THEIR device or issues.

But I've been taught to never bring up a problem unless you also propose a solution - so here's mine:

Create a two-tab pane on the right... one tab can have Trending Topics and the other tab can have Watched Threads. The Trending Topics tab would, of course, remain constant for all members; the Watched Threads, on the other hand, would be unique to each member. That way, once they're logged in all their watched threads are one click away.

If Steve can figure out a way to write that into the website, that would be AWESOME.

Some serious lag with posting in the Samsung Galaxy S3 forums.

Edit: I am test posting in this thread, and obviously will delete the test posting but some real lag:
https://androidforums.com/threads/screen-wont-turn-off.672719/#post-7524247

I also cannot post a new thread---I get an error:

Edit: I should clarify that the issues are in the Samsung Galaxy S3 forum, using my laptop, Chrome Browser. I also have the issue using my device with the Chrome browser.
I also had another member contact me via hangouts with the same issue which led me to investigate this on my devices..

Edit again: @Phases, I am deleting my posts and @SolApathy 's test posts there as not to clutter the thread, so my link above may not work.

2x on that I am having the same issues when posting there.

palmtree5 · Mar 30, 2017

Can confirm as well. Clicked the post button, slow, post didn't appear. Clicked again, same thing. Third time, same. Refreshed, moved to second page, 4 posts when I clicked the button 3 times

almath · Mar 30, 2017

Posting was fine for me..

This thread ...
https://androidforums.com/threads/help-playing-vids-with-es-file-explorer.1134640/
... is listed and not listed in ...
https://androidforums.com/

It is marked with a purple eye as a favorite.

If I specify ... Most Recent ... Favorites ... it is not listed.
If I specify ... Most Recent ... All ... it is listed (with a purple eye)

Some other threads are correctly displayed in both places. This "feature" is present in Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera, and Safari.

On web - creating a new post while in a device channel doesn't assign the post to that channel.

1. Be in device channel (example: OnePlus 3T)
2. Click Post New Thread
3. Type your post, click Create Thread
4. Not assigned to 3T, but to the general Android Devices.

Should be fixed now, thanks!

Hadron · Apr 20, 2017

A little oddity today: I'm seeing boxes with the slogan "Remove ads with VIP" in several places, and also advert posts with the same slogan:

I'm guessing that this is a new version of the adverts, but I'm also assuming that as I'm wearing a VIP badge I shouldn't be seeing these.

Clementine_3 · Apr 20, 2017

I'm seeing the same as @Hadron, started last night. I get full-on ads all over the place since I turned my adblocker off. I'm also not able to create a new thread, I can get as far as selecting a topic from the drop-down then get a blank page.

Phases · Apr 20, 2017

Lemme ask about this

Hadron · Apr 20, 2017

Yeah, I just tried to create a thread in Android Questions (seemed a good place to try a test thread) and also just got a blank page.

Thom · Apr 20, 2017

I started getting the Ads yesterday.

Can you try again?

Ads are gone and I was able to create this thread. Looks good so far. Thanks!

OH BUT WAIT! I can't create a thread if I try to select a phone. I chose "MOTO X PURE" and nothing happens when I click 'select', if I select 'skip' then I can open a thread but not in that forum/channel whatever??

Can you clear cache and try again, you may be using old JS file..
