As you may have seen, I was just doing some updates to the forum software.
Still more to do, but I'll wait until Sunday now to hopefully finish off the job (and maybe even fix that bug when you get a blank page after posting if we're lucky!)

just a quick thank you to you Poll for all the hard work you put in in maintaining and updating the forum.

You mean you turned it off and then on again?

Poll, if you want a hand I'll come round with Westy and a bag of screwdrivers/nails/sticky tape.
Seriously though, cheers for all the work it takes.

I saw that for a couple of minutes, then refreshed a couple of times (in the Yeltzland iOS app) and it seems fine.
I'm seeing the same in the Android app, and refreshing the page hasn't cleared it for me yet, although it works fine in Chrome.
I think it's the browser/app keeping the files from the old version of the site somehow, and if so not sure exactly what I can do. Will keep trying and hopefully it will sort itself out soon.

I've confirmed the issue is that old files are being cached locally, which is causing issues when combined with the new code.
On a PC, reload the page using CTRL + F5 and that will clear the cache.
On a Mac, follow these instructions:

On iOS/Android browsers, or in the iOS yeltzland app, simply refreshing the page seems to work.
In the Android Yeltzland app, I can't seem to force a refresh. However I have a whole new version of the app nearly ready to go which will definitely fix the issue - more about that tomorrow once it's been fully tested!
