Weird display errors on a phone

#1

Post by The Toxic Avenger » Thu Mar 05, 2015 7:02 pm

So I'm going through that thread about Decay, and I keep seeing Rust's av next to blank posts, and avs displaying wrong (I had Heavenwraith's av). Is anyone else seeing this or just me?

I do not remember how to screenshot on this phone

Banner is also weird as I can scroll up past it and it repeats the moon x3 and no longer blends in.

The only thing I get weird on phone is the borders that isn't black but yes white, but if I wait like 2 or 5 seconds it'll go to black back.
About the other bug, idk, I never got it.
hm screenshot on windows phone is "turn off" button + "volume up".
Android Idk, it can change from manufactures, and ios idk too,,,

on android screenshot is typically power + volume down, unless you got a realy old device. also worth noting IF it is a old device it might not be able to display the website properly, i had problems with android 2.3.6 where i was unable to post on any myBB based forum.

My phone's an iphone 5S if that matters, so it's not that old.

iPhones can't do screen shots unless they're jailbroke from what I remember.

Ha! I thought I was going crazy. I have an IPhone 5S and the same exact thing happens to me. Like one person's avatar appears in the margin between EVERY post. I'll screenie it next time. Also no Setharoo you don't need to jailbreak to screenshot.

To screenshot on any iPhone, just press the power and home button at the same time. The screen will flash, a sound will play and the screenshot will be saved in your camera roll.

I don't see any errors on my old iPhone 4 with Safari, nor with Chrome on my Moto 4G (Android).

Though, just with a quick look at the HTML code, there is a lot of unclosed tags and missing required tags.
In short: The Forum Template is full of bugs. It's based off a very old and very incomplete version of mine, which got removed anyway. Basically, it was forked at around the time I was building it, then was left mostly untouched.

I am still working on completing my template and theme, but it's still not close to being finished. It's hard to do on an empty forum.

After a bit of thought, I got a possible reason.

It must have somehow cached postbit_pm.gif as a completely different image all together.

Try clearing your cache, if that's even possible if you use Safari.



Else, Ru5tK1ng must really like you. :P

I used to get something similar on my old Blackberry, people's names and bio would always appear next to the guy's avatar who posted underneath and so on. With my new phone it seems fine though.
