Mobile site not opening "full version"

    When I use m.boards.ie and click on "full version" it does not open the main site. It has always opened up until now.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Hi Joeytheparrot, we're slowly moving to HTTPS across all versions of the site and it seems that this is an unfortunate bug that's cropped up.

    Ok

    Are you going to look at fixing the bug? Or this another case of "cant/wont do anything cause its the m site"?

    For now, I'm afraid it won't be looked at because the issue requires further investigation - i.e. if a particular file is modified, how great an impact will it have, what might fall over, etc.?

    When I click "full version" link at the end of a m.boards.ie page it just takes me to m.boards.ie instead of the touch or full site.

    Android and IOs having this issue for me

    Hi Ghost Train, I've merged your thread into this existing query. Hopefully the above clears things up a little.

    it probably wont work currently because m.boards is HTTPS but the link is trying to launch a HTTP connection from the same session which is dropping the security level for the same session to the same entity.

    when the default connection for boards.ie is https this may resolve itself.

    (just a guess).

    Very disappointing response as it makes moderation from phones much more difficult.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
