Changes to webpages. Help!

Post by Forumadmin »

Have a look at the top right of this page and see if you have "Member Services" or "Search Server Menu" displayed above the Donate button. If you have the latter then the webpage is well out of date and the Search Server Menu button will fail. Please let me know via reply to this topic which button you have and what browser and operating system you are using e.g.
Safari / iOS or Chrome / Android or Windows / Edge


The webpage or parts of it are being served from a cache. The Internet is now complicated and that cache may not be just be in your browser (Chrome or Firefox) but in another server. Surprisingly the browser setting directives to Clear Cache on my Android mobile do not work. Neither does trying a different browser or going Incognito or Private browsing. Neither does closing all the browsers and restarting the operating system.

Everything like that works on my Windows 10 desktop and Member Services is displayed!

Google has sent me down many rabbit holes trying to fix this. I can probably force your browser to reload everything, but this will slow the site down for everyone not just those with this issue. Bear with me.

Hi Keith.
I have Windows 10 and access the web thro' Google.
In JowettTalk there appears Membership services and Search above the Donate button.
I'm used to this. Please don't make it any more complicated.
Tony.
P.S. Don't reply.

On my Android mobile I changed to 'desktop site' using the options (three dots bottom right) and it picked up the Member Services button. Now fixed! It was the responsive design in phpbb using a different template file for small window sizes.

You can reduce the size of the window on a desktop to see how the site might look on a mobile.

Thanks guys for your help. My documentation was lacking on the previous change when the Search Server was added.
