I was doing system updates the other day and noticed how hard the nearly 20 year old layout is on a mobile, so I ditched the middle column. I notice that a majority of users are now on mobile or tablet, so hopefully this makes it better for them.

Before everyone piles on with their "why don't you..." and "you need to..." let me remind you that this is a hobby for me, and low on my life priority list. I'm happy to make small changes when I can but just don't have the time or interest to do major work.

But if these changes have created a new glitch, please let me know and I'll see what I can do.

I noticed ADS in the middle of my screen (IPhone 10)

In reply to StumpCam

Yuck. That's no good.

On every page, or just some pages? Email me a screenshot if you can.

I'm not seeing this on my Pixel 4a or any of the other small devices I have. Anyone else seeing this?

-- edit i did have this earlier this morning but quickly fixed it. Wondering if you are getting a cached version or something.

Since the great lakes are very warm, make sure your snow blower is ready.

Watch for streamers coming to London , Ontario. Your area will be hard hit.

You will be cooped up , so more time to fix the site.

I was experiencing the same issue on iPhone. Currently on desktop so cannot verify if I am still getting the problem

In reply to Arawak

Done!

Thanks, that helps. I'll see what I can do.

In reply to Arawak

tried on mobile. works great

Cheers - it was a bit difficult to go through the site on mobile.

What is this site running on, as a curiosity? I kind of want to guess Joomla but I have no idea

Something I wrote 20 years ago when I needed to learn Java.

Ryan and I had been running various PHP based systems (PHPnuke, etc) but they all struggled to handle load and were security nightmares. I was a C++ developer and had just taken a job in a Java shop, so it was all the excuse I needed to spend a couple months building it myself. A friend who was a web designer did the layout and HTML.

This was when I invented the MVC pattern, Chain of Command pattern, and the Facade pattern. Later, I discovered other ppl had already invented them

Every Xmas I get all inspired and decide to rewrite it in whatever I'm working on at the time. Three years ago it was Golang. This year it might be Rust. Sadly, it needs more than 2 weeks to do and these projects always fizzle.

Ok, good to hear, thanks. Hopefully stumps iphone is sorted too.

In reply to Arawak

Still experiencing the same issue!

In reply to Arawak

I'm a bit rusty but if you need any assistance I'd be glad to pitch in. All I need in return is a few conkies.

Reminds me of when I invented a content management system with a visual layout editor

In reply to culpepperboy

Not sure what a conkie is. I mostly grew up in The Bahamas, and a conkie joe was a somewhat derogatory reference to a white or mostly white Bahamian, especially one that sunburned easily. We talking about the same thing?

In reply to Arawak

He talking about a kinda cornmeal patty wrapped in banana leaf..

In reply to Arawak

Looks fine now! Hope it stays that way!

In reply to Bravitos
What you guys call it? I heard from a Bimmer that "conkie" is Bajie for "kenkey", which is what it's called in the Accra region of Ghana.

In reply to JayMor

JayMor ... mi good, and hope you do too. Some busy work taking it time to cool off and so I can reconvene some presence in the BackRoom. Couldn't tell when I visit the RumShop ... I sticking with Guinness as my drink of choice, and it taste better in di BackRoom.

On the serious side ---
Work is toning down some of the HEAVY DUTY research issues re COVID ... even as it will not go away. This kind of wuk is clearly here to stay beyond you me and the now peeps ... variants are more than likely to pop-up. So hindsight haffi turn into foresight. And as I mentioned above I'm slowly taking a back seat and wrapping up many years of this stuff.

One Love Bro!!
