Need help reading forum notifications / Can't see notifications

Deleted User

Please can someone tell me how to read my notifications on a tablet device? I get the orange number appearing at thr bottom of the screen but when I click on it, the notification message appears below the bottom of my screen. I try to drag it up but still can't read it. Please can someone help? 

Thank you.

  • I am sorry that this has taken longer than I indicated, but we released some changes to the mobile menus today. Your feedback would be very helpful.

    ...! You are definitely 'getting there'/'on the right track' Mr. WebPM...

    The pictures are what happen when I used the SEARCH box -*now*. Does Anyone Else see this, now...? (Peter, OutOfStep, California, P1nkG1n...?)

    ..."Playtesting" a WebForum is kind of funny & strange... ( I still say get an actual (old?) device instead of using virtual software, but that is just My opinion - Virtual Software is just a Simulation and is not real. )

    Yes, on some devices the search results overlay the keyword that you are still typing. We'll address that separately - we wanted to get the main menu fixes out because of the previous issues.

    I have agreed previously that we needed more testing on this new design. However, there are difficulties in trying every possible combination, as well as in supporting some older devices and browsers. We don't really have the resources to get hold of every possible one. You may have noticed that, increasingly, some sites (including some major ones) launch in "beta" mode, inviting users to identify any issues that may have been missed in pre-launch testing for these reasons. We may consider that for future projects.

    (...I worry about certain things so much, I just revived an old Pictures Thread about it for apology. (!) I hope All of those who contributed to it can come back or choose to come back eventually. Meantime I hope All of 'Newfolk' enjoys it.)

    Slight smile Thank You! (I am better at chat when I think no-one is looking. Folk only realise that when "live chatting" Me as is going on, here... I just cannot do it! Arg... Um... very sorry...

    Um... maybe I shall wait until I am automatically logged out again one day. I dare not touch that buggy "sign out" menu just now, Thanks. (I am not going to "clear My browser cache" or suggestions like that just now, either.)

    I figure the main solution is just to get a "new" tablet which I (and many others) cannot afford anyway. (I am not *that* much worried about all of this... it is just a WWW-Forum but I do think about it a lot. It is My *only* experience of so-called "Socialising" and "social media" (!))

    (...Reply&Vote  buttons still only appear after refreshing the screen and happening to have the target Post on-screen at the time of the screen refreshing. This is *very* tricky to achieve.

    ...& Messages only shows a few messages and has very limited options, now.

    ...Can someone else please back Me up / reply to this matter, now, Thanks...)
