Just want to say I love that the "I hate sticky threads" thread is still here and still stickied.

How did I only see this thread now? When the forum changed last week I was thinking that surely I wasn't the only one that was seeing this, why is no-one saying anything. Then I see it now. Thanks for all your hard work, appreciate it. I hope that one day we'll see the PGR 303 thing for Cardsy again.

It's harder now to tell at a glance if and which posts are new. It used to use a bold font (I think?), communicating which lines are fresh and the topic itself in the same glance. Now you have to check the icon after you've read the topic title, or look for fresh icons before reading topic titles. (The icon animation also kind of slows down the instant snap of recognition a little further.)

<Obligatory nitpick disclaimer here>, but it's definitely enough for me to recognise a little aversion to clicking the Games Ranch tab.

I couldn't find this anywhere either. I thought something happened to my account and I had the default skin or something like that. I have to say it's pretty hard to use on mobile, but I'm just grateful someone is keeping this going so I can continue to have petty arguments with some users. :nana:

Because quite a few people still like using tapatalk, I've installed the plugin, so you should be able to use tapatalk again. Enjoy. :)

Anyone else have trouble with having to log in every time?
I tick the "remember me" box on the login page.
Using firefox on the desktop. I don't have any extensions (like ad blockers), but the inbuilt tracking protection is set to strict (but it's turned off for this site).

Can’t say that I have. Have you tried a different browser?

I'm the other way around. Used to get that a lot before the upgrade, now I never do.

I have this issue, never remembers my login so have to do it every time. I'm using Brave browser with pretty strict anti-cookie blockers so thinking that's it.

For people having logins not being remembered, make sure you visit the ssl secure version of the forum.

i.e. ensure there is a https:// in the url, our cookies are ssl ones but you can still access the non ssl site via http://, it's just your session cookies won't persist correctly.

If you just go to www.games-ranch.com, it will redirect you to the https version of the forum, then update your bookmarks.

Mmm just me or are both the HIDE and SPOILER tags broken?

For me, the hide tag has no difference to using no tag, while the spoiler tag presents a clickable SHOW link but it doesn't reveal the hidden content.
