Just got this email watchout think its dangerous

Watchout and don't open the links

Edit by Dan/Admin; the correct link Forum homepage has changed a bit - https://www.electriciansforums.net/threads/forum-homepage-has-changed-a-bit.211317/
Link is safe. In fact both links are safe. Just one was the wrong one but just close that one and use the updated link

Basically yeah pmsl

That's working still right up to 4am for you.

I can get loads done in the night no kids no phones going no new news to distract me.

I kinda figured it out, but clicking on the “correct” link about the co.uk address just gives me a white page on iphone and an error message on laptop.

It will be your local cache (so delete history but only choose cache not all your passwords etc)

I've set it to reset every 4 hours. So if it doesnt fix its self its your end needing grab a fresh copy of the site files like.

You can always check if its that by opening a private browser window visit the site and if if it works in that window it is defo your site files are out of date and need throwing out.

I also get a page not found error when I try that link.

Mind you if these adverts don't disappear soon I won't be clicking any more links. Been shocking the last few days.

And don't get me started on the banner asking me to install the forum app!! Which covers up the notification icons at the top of the screen!

Thanks. I never get adverts normally, but the last couple of weeks they've come back in a bad way.

Not bothered about the android app - the forums are fine for me like this. But the banner needs to go - I can't see the notifications unless I close and reopen the browser window.

Didn't know it did that leave it with me. I'll wrap some code around it so its only visible to members <10 days or something.

Why don't you use it mate? Just out of interest. Is there something it does that you don't like?

Never tried it. Just always used it browser based in Android and normally works well.

That has been popping up randomly for quite a while but the last few weeks more so.

It still uses your browser mate.

Try it. I promise its better because it becomes controllable with phone sound and screen brightness (and auto dark theme) etc

I'll even tell you how yo revert back if you don't like it.

Sounds like it needs an X in the corner to me then. But again, use it man it's ace.

 

[westward10]

Sure at one point it had an × in the corner.

This turned out to be a bug in the software and I've just finished fixing it.
