Been meaning to post an update to an issue I previously reported:
On tablet, I’m getting a phone view, so for example in the comment carousel it will only show one comment at a time instead of three, but taking up mahoosive amounts of space so that it shows whole paragraphs of text instead of just a snippet.Oddly, this is only happening when I am (or rather, when it thinks I am) logged in. If I’m logged out, I get the three comments with just the short snippet, as I did on the old site.

BTW – I haven’t received payment for any of this UAT work yet – can I double-check that you’ve been getting my invoices?

I’ve had a few comment replies that haven’t threaded properly (appeared as the start of a new thread). I’m not sure whether this is because:
a) the reply to comment box isn’t correctly linking the comment to the previous one when submitting, or
b) the reply link is flaky and isn’t making the reply to comment box appear in the first place, so I’m inadvertently posting in the new comment box by mistake. (Because the new comment box is now there permanently – you don’t have to click ‘post a new comment’ to open it – and the new comment and reply to versions aren’t sufficiently distinct, this mistake is a lot easier to make.)

Not that anyone will see this, because of extreme site borkenness, but nevertheless…

Did the forum have likes before?Yes – comments on forum posts used to be just the same as on main site articles.

I’m a regular commenter, displaying wit and insight, but I can’t login to make my pithy remarks.You’ve probably been banned – there’s no place for wit and insight among the regular commenters around here.

‘Buyers Guides’ and ‘Features’ panels aren’t displaying properly – the first is crammed over into the left half of the screen with a big empty space to the right, and the reverse for the second.

The ‘Reply’ link on forum comments is essentially pointless, as the resulting comments appear no differently to replies to the original post (no indenting or indication of what it was in reply to, and no ‘Threaded’ option on the sort).

‘Latest Forum Topics’ panel isn’t working right
– ‘Car crashes into building’ isn’t appearing, despite having more recent comments than two threads that are

It’s not even necessarily just ‘the version I last saw’ – I’m occasionally getting versions of pages that are older (fewer comments or blog articles) than the last time I viewed it on the same device. Some deeply excessive caching going on somewhere.
