Members need to remember just how "big" Rootschat is and to try and implement something like this is not easy when you have to take into consideration every click/link a member might use.... a real nightmare!

I realised it was an inhouse error by googling mobile websites with iphones,  the buck was firmly passed back to the website owners and there isn't an option to turn the search for a mobile version of a website off from the phone software....  Ok if your website is small and manageable but RC is big and the linking will need lots of testing before letting it go live.

Tristan you have my symphathies... :)   perhaps a little note somewhere on the site to say you will be doing some testing on the mobile version next time might avert some of the anxious posts.

Hi Andy,

Serious management problem.
[An unauthorised/non-notified release was made.]

Serious technical/service problem.
[The change made was majorly deliterious,
 particularly to the very sphere that it was meant to enhance.
 Yuk presentation, Excrutiating to use (and sometimes unuseable).
 It is still extant, even after several days of complaints.]

Suggest that you discuss it over with an adult.

Also keep in mind "Capt Jock" that Trystan, the owner of rootschat, does all of this for no payment and very little thanks and is also employed in a 'proper' job away from rootschat. The site is free for us to use and manned by volunteers, so it might pay to be mindful of this when making your comments.
