When using Safari 5.1.3 on Mac OSX 10.7.3 I quite often see the breadcrumb is malformed as shown below -
As you can see it is over lapping the page navigation links.
Right down the very bottom of the page in the left hand corner, is a link called Mark Community Read

Look down the bottom of the page, there is an option to view mobile site.
yes but it used to recognise mobile browsers and change automatically.

Previously if I looked at a thread the view would jump to the last post I had read, now it always goes to the first post in a thread.
Any ideas how I can fix this (Firefox 10.0.2)

Likewise - I've had a post edited and I'm not sure why. David's edited the post and added the note "removed formatting" - now, while I don't have a problem with the mods editing posts so that they appear more clearly, what actually happened was that, during posting, the forum automatically changed the way the post appeared on screen (without any input from me) from one with no formatting to one with a very small point size (probably size 8, as illustrated here!) and a horrible looking font (couldn't tell you which one, sorry).I had a post edited this morning for " ease of reading "
Is this something the new software is doing? because I could read it perfectly clear!
The only way I could get the post looking 'normal' was to format the thing with font & size tags!!! I guess that it would've displayed fine to others (hence David's edit), but it looked so strange on mine there was no way I would have posted it the way it appeared to me.
The new font, to me, seems too large - you can only really see one post per page, so you need to scroll a lot more. Before the upgrade, the font size was smaller but still readable, and it was much nicer to look at! I hope this doesn't sound too much like a moan, as it's not intended to be - it's just that something clearly isn't working correctly and I'm not sure what it is...

I don't know if it's been brought up and I'm not up for thumbing through 6 pages, but I've noticed on the mobile version when you click on a thread you're no longer taken to the last post you've read, as was previously the case (before the update), only to the first page.
There's no option so far as selecting which page you want, only 'next' or 'previous' and on a thread with 60 pages that's a bit of a pain.
Edit: I see that oddbod has highlighted this, would have seen it if I could have jumped to the last page

The main reason I don't like this 'upgrade' is because all of our Special identity has been lost. Even the PS Favicon has gone and been replaced by an upside down triangle with a line each side.
We are Special people and we are different.
My dear Rocket, you are very special!
Anyway today, I have noticed that new PM's are not showing and I have to click in the PM list to see it and its hard to tell a new one as they are all the same colour, it would be nice if new ones were dark coloured and old ones pale

I think the formatting issue is that if you copy and paste something into a post on here, it seems to take the format of the original text you're copying. For example if you copied a size 6 font news article, it'd be size 6 when pasted in here. It also seems to take it's spacing and layout etc... so if you copy and paste something in, you need to re-format if you want to make it uniform and easier to read.
At least thats what I think i've found.

Although far from ideal, there is a fairly quick way around this, at least if you're on a PC/Mac.I think the formatting issue is that if you copy and paste something into a post on here, it seems to take the format of the original text you're copying.

Copy the article and paste it into notepad (or the Mac equiv) and then copy it again from there to paste it into the forum. That *should* remove any formatting issues.

Cheers for that Damsel... all i've been doing is pasting into the reply box here, highlighting it all, and choosing the size I want. The spacing seems to take care of itself, but some of the more obscure websites do make it difficult to copy and paste articles without picking up a lot of crud.

In the reply box press the second clipboard icon in, paste as plain text or paste anyway and press the eraser icon on the left of the reply box.

I thought that. but there is no youtube option. And the Media option just puts a link in place.. Html code just puts the html in code format
