Forum posts 'cut off' suddenly

[TheMindWell]

Hi there,

Recently I noticed that all of the posts are cut off so they cannot be read all the way through (perhaps the last 10-20% of the right side is cut off). This is while using my Ipad ... the desktop looks fine.

Does this have anything to do with ads being put on my forum? That recently happened and I haven't paid to have them removed yet. Will paying to have ads removed bring those posts back to normal?

Thanks

I do not have an iPad and my forums with ads do not exhibit this behaviour when viewed on an Android phone or tablet.

Is your forum embedded? It may be a problem with your main site rather than Nabble. Can you post the URL of your forum so others can see if they get the same result as you.

Yes, it's embedded on Weebly. Works great on desktop, worked well on ipad before ads appeared. Now seems to cut off portion of posts.

I confess to deeply mistrust Weebly, Wix and most online "no knowledge of HTML required" web development tools, but in your case the forum is displaying near perfectly on my 7" Android tablet. The only problem is that the second right hand ads don't appear at all in portrait mode.

My Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini struggles a little more in portrait mode with various parts of the display overlapping and obscured. However in landscape mode it is near perfect with a similar problem to my tablet in portrait mode. The second ad is truncated with no option to scroll to see it.

Using Weebly's "web" link to force the browser to render the page to desktop standards produces nearly perfect rendering albeit with the need to zoom on the smaller screen to make it legible.

Overall, I'd say this is a case where any browser is going to struggle to render a page designed to be displayed on larger screens. In the longer term Nabble and all other forum software providers need to devise a completely different interface for display on small screens. Technically, this is a huge task as Nabble is largely constructed using the HTML table structure, when divisions, lists and other alternatives would be required to design a good interface for small screens, so don't expect any significant improvement soon.

Thanks for checking it out for me Greg, I appreciate that, and sorry for the late reply. I just paid to have ads removed and the 'cut off' issue is resolved on my ipad

I figured that might be the problem. So if anyone in the future asks this question you can tell them to shell out a few bucks to get rid of the gigantic, intrusive ads.

Thanks again.
