mort7890 Posted November 20, 2021 Share #1 Posted November 20, 2021 Only appears when I scroll to the forum section, suddenly a black bar appears with a picture of a house and Home written underneath. This has suddenly started but only on my mobile and only on this site. 1 Link to comment
SuperModerator BamSec1 Posted November 24, 2021 SuperModerator Share #2 Posted November 24, 2021 Sorry for this late reaction, but I didn't notice your topic before. Weird that is! I also connect once everyday with my mobile to check if all works as expected and didn't see that. Do you still have that problem? Link to comment
mort7890 Posted November 24, 2021 Author Share #3 Posted November 24, 2021 Yes still there, cannot find how to attach an image to show you.

Administrator Bad Karma Posted November 25, 2021 Administrator Share #5 Posted November 25, 2021 Couldn't replicate your issue. All is fine for me. Checked on mobile with XBrowser. It's maybe time you update our change your browser. 1 Link to comment

mort7890 Posted November 25, 2021 Author Share #7 Posted November 25, 2021 Tried Xbrower and still the same, perhaps it's something I have accidentally clicked on my Galaxy A22 I have searched through all the settings but it is only on this site that it appears. Would post a screenshot but I don't know how to. 1 Link to comment

SuperModerator BamSec1 Posted November 25, 2021 SuperModerator Share #10 Posted November 25, 2021 That's very strange, I can impossibly replicate the problem you're having. Which browser do you use, if I may ask? Link to comment
mort7890 Posted November 25, 2021 Author Share #11 Posted November 25, 2021 Hi BamSec1 Have tried Chrome, XBrowser (as suggested) and firefox (as screenshot). Have gone through all the phone settings (it is only on the phone) and it is only on this site so I am at a loss as to why or what the error is. mort7890 1 Link to comment

P.S. I just start thinking that it maybe has to do with something one of our plugins for which your mobile is sensible for. Maybe we best start a support ticket at IPS. possibly they know more about it. We'll catch up with you as soon as we know more. 1 Link to comment
mort7890 Posted November 25, 2021 Author Share #13 Posted November 25, 2021 Hi BamSec1 Yes only on the mobile (Samsung Galaxy A22) new mobile all updated. Laptop, desktop and Samsung tablet all are fine. Jack 1 Link to comment
mort7890 Posted November 25, 2021 Author Share #14 Posted November 25, 2021 Also just to let you know it's only recently started, it wasn't on my mobile when I first got it. Hope that helps. 1 Link to comment
MMT Posted November 27, 2021 Share #15 Posted November 27, 2021 Could well be a Chatbox problem. The black bar can be tested by changing the colour of the Chatbox background. If the bar changes colour then it is the text box within not being set up properly. It sounds like a phone reset during and upgrade so you need to check again the background ticks. Try knocking some things off - like hardware acceleration if you have it. 2 Link to comment

Cannot find where to change the colour of the background on the phone, help and guidance would be appreciated. Don't think I have any hardware acceleration on the phone either. 1 Link to comment

Sounds more plausible as it's only on my mobile. ? 1 Link to comment

True, but still strange that not everybody has it. Could be that their software is not (yet) compatible with all phone models, or the latest (or older!) Miscrosoft / Android OS versions ! ? 1 Link to comment

No, like you know as well as I do that some phones have different Android/Microsoft versions. If one looks in the Mobile OS section (s)he can see that Madam always added "Required Android O/S" That is because many mobiles are different. Same could be (not certain 'though) with what software IPS incorporated in their program. I do not pretend it is so, only that it is a possibility. 1 Link to comment
