šŸ”ˆ Site announcement: Things that we think you should know

I like the new font, it’s easier to read on mobile

Edit- Don’t like it so much on the lap top tho’ … looks a bit bold

What the fuck has happened to this site? It has been going steadily downhill since pap had to start being some sort of dedicated employee.

The tagging doesn’t work on Chrome on my phone, @pap .

I’ve cleared all of the cache associated with sotonians.com and still no joy.

On reflection, I am, at best, ambivalent about the new font @pap

Agree with @coxford_lou that the red boxy thing around names is a bit intrusive.

Can we please have the option to NOT have everything in bold?

I’ve deboldened everything pursuant to popular request, @tigger .

Taken the border off, reduced the amount of extra space and recoloured both. They still look Saintsy, but not as intrusive.

Oh you think you are oh so clever @pap

Give the kids a new toy

Bull krap.

We know you’re tryng to make it LOOK as if you’re investing all those @googleads $$ in the site but let’s face it we all know you just found an old Amstrad Gem boot disc in your attic & cut & paste this to cover for your Curry Nights

Now we’re getting there Pap, font looks a lot better

… still not sure why we need, what is in effect a link to someones user profile, when we use their name in a post … but I don’t use facebook so maybe I’m missing a trick

Just wait, @steveintheforest , your mind will be blown.

I tend to find Twitter is better for Tricks than FB

@asianescorts turn up more often than a Puel rotation

And if you buy @saintbletch a half of some overly bitter piss masquerading as a proper beer, it won’t be just your mind that gets blown.

Whose been fucking around with the site?

It’s not working on my mobile

I’d use the slaphead icon, but they’ve all disappeared ffs

Put it back where it was…please

The fact that the link doesn’t work in Chrome has largely disenfranchised the backbone of this forum…it’s a fucking disgrace you bunch of twats @head honcho@sidekick

And which @pap changed the pages favicon? It now looks like the outline of a tennis ball.

That must be what I’m seeing - not checked on mobile yet…

I’m hoping this will encourage Bletch and Bearsy to start using my correct name, rather than BallsforCocks or Loueatscocks or CocksforLou or whatever it is they always call me… :lou_eyes_to_sky:

Hehe … tbf that wouldn’t be hard … it’s pretty fragmented already

This font is as bold as Bletch at a singles disco after a can of Top Deck shandy.

Anyone on Chrome that is not seeing the list of users when you type the @ symbol, try the following

Desktop

Menu -> More tools -> Clear browsing data (or hit CTRL+SHIT+DEL)

Make sure Cached images and files is checked, and click Clear Browsing Data.

Then reload the www.sotonians.com site by hitting CTRL+F5 (IMPORTANT).

**Mobile **

This isn’t working for me at the moment, but the procedure should be as follows:

Menu -> Setting -> Privacy- > Clear Browsing Data ->

Check " Cache" and press " CLEAR"

IMPORTANT: Makes sure that Settings -> Data Saver is turned off.
