I only browse the forum on my phone,as I don't have a PC any more.Up until yesterday,I got the version that fits phones better,with no signatures showing Now I'm getting the version  you get on a PC with the text being much smaller.Is this something I've done by accident,& how can I get it back to how it was?

You might have knocked this in the web browser options (see the blue arrows on the pictures below)

Exactly what I'd done.

Thank you 👍

Have my eyes drastically improved overnight or is the font bigger this morning? Feel like I've zoomed in slightly!

I'm wondering the same thing too! Certainly haven't touched anything on the theme settings in quite a while.

What are you on, android and chrome?

Looking at other sites like the BBC News, they look bigger too. I'm wondering if there was a Chrome update that bumped up the size of everything.

[bunglebus]

Yeah Android/Chrome. Probably been listening in to me saying my close vision is deteriorating, same way I get adverts for things I've discussed within earshot of Alexa

[SiC]

I've noticed that all sites seem to be rendering differently and zoomed up. So presumably an update has buggered things.

Is anyone else finding embedded YouTube vids crashing out the browser? Seems to be hitting chrome and brave for me..

Something weird going on right now - clicking on 'unread topics' gives a oops page with error EX0 more often than not

[High Jetter]

As you were, it seems to have fixed itself now, unless a boffin was tinkering in the background.

The search indexing service is on a different server to the main site. I think the hosting provider drops connections between the two occasionally as I see the odd error stored in the forum error log. 

I need to do a full rebuild of the main server to bring it to the latest Debian version. When I do that I think I'll consolidate everything into a monolithic server again.

Is there a way to search a topic for posts by a particular author, without including a search term? I've been playing around typing various things into the search box and the address bar with no success.

Probably other ways of doing it but if you go to a profile, tap on the newspaper icon (next to the send message icon) and it'll change to all posts by that user and look like this

That's how I would find a post if it was recent, or I knew the date that it was posted, but as far as I can tell there's no way to filter that by a specific topic, meaning that I'd have to look through 13 pages in the case of myself.

This is an example of what I want to do, but I need to put something where I've typed "placeholder" that will show all of my posts in this topic. I did try listing the alphabet and having it set to "any of my search term words", but that didn't show all of them, and obviously wouldn't work for a post that was just an image.

This feels like something that should be possible, even just by editing the URL, but I can't figure it out! Some forums have the option to only show OP posts, which would presumably work in a similar way on the backend...
