Hi


Yes that shouldn't happen, it's something we introduced last night and so appreciate the feedback.


Please could you look at a page e.g. http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/list.php?30 and hold the Ctrl key and press the F5 key and let me know if it still happens.


Also please could you let me know what browser and computer you are using e.g. Internet Explorer 7 and Windows XP. An easy way to do this is go to http://supportdetails.com/ and email it to [email protected]


Thanks


Mark

Same for me, using Firefox 3.6.12

Hi, if you're seeing the adverts stacked on top of each other at the top of the screen the please refresh the page (press F5 on a PC), that will fix it.


As for the page being sat on the right hand side of the screen, it's something we have to look into. It's because the new 'containing frame' of the page is wider than your screen; in that frame is a blank column, the content column then the advert column. You people with a 1024pixel wide screen only see the first two columns, so it looks like is sat to the right.


Apologies for any inconvenience and I'm hoping we'll work out a fix for it

OK, so we should have resolved the right alignment issue, if you still see the site aligned to the right please refresh the page (F5 on a PC).


Also there was a problem with the forum slowing down, this was because of a script that had to work out what section of the forum was showing before showing the ads. We have removed that script and, although the ads show in all sections of the forum it should be faster.

Just logged in to find the main frame ranged left with the ads stacked vertically to its right. The page width is fractionally larger than my screen resolution.


The site is now functional albeit somewhat lopsided.


For what it's worth, from an aesthetic point of view, I would favour a symmetrical layout wherein the adverts are arrayed horizontally across the screen at the top, middle or bottom (or even all three) with a centred main frame rather than the current asymmetrical design which looks a bit odd (to me).

I have an annoying glitch when I look at group pm's. The pm is pushed below the ads which are to the right with just white space where the pm should sit. It's only for pms sent to multiple recipients. Singel recipient pms sit where they should.
Viewing on me mobile (samsung wave through opera) looks really strange now, ads in the middle going down centrally and the thread lists are all squashed up instead of nicely stretched. Used to have to zoom in and out to navigate around the forum but not now... dunno if it's anything that can be changed or I shall have to stick with complaining about stupid smartphone apps... Using Bolt lite looks ok though *shrugs*

    • That is also a Young's pub, like The Cherry Tree. However fantastic the menu looks, you might want to ask exactly who will cook the food on the day, and how. Also, if  there is Christmas pudding on the menu, you might want to ask how that will be cooked, and whether it will look and/or taste anything like the Christmas puddings you have had in the past.
    • This reminds me of a situation a few years ago when a mate's Dad was coming down and fancied Franklin's for Christmas Day. He'd been there once, in September, and loved it. Obviously, they're far too tuned in to do it, so having looked around, £100 per head was pretty standard for fairly average pubs around here. That is ridiculous. I'd go with Penguin's idea; one of the best Christmas Day lunches I've ever had was at the Lahore Kebab House in Whitechapel. And it was BYO. After a couple of Guinness outside Franklin's, we decided £100 for four people was the absolute maximum, but it had to be done in the style of Franklin's and sourced within walking distance of The Gowlett. All the supermarkets knock themselves out on veg as a loss leader - particularly anything festive - and the Afghani lads on Rye Lane are brilliant for more esoteric stuff and spices, so it really doesn't need to be pricey. Here's what we came up with. It was considerably less than £100 for four. Bread & Butter (Lidl & Lurpak on offer at Iceland) Mersea Oysters (Sopers) Parsnip & Potato Soup ( I think they were both less than 20 pence a kilo at Morrisons) Smoked mackerel, Jerseys, watercress & radish (Sopers) Rolled turkey breast joint (£7.95 from Iceland) Roast Duck (two for £12 at Lidl) Mash  Carrots, star anise, butter emulsion. Stir-fried Brussels, bacon, chestnuts and Worcestershire sauce.(Lidl) Clementine and limoncello granita (all from Lidl) Stollen (Lidl) Stichelton, Cornish Cruncher, Stinking Bishop. (Marks & Sparks) There was a couple of lessons to learn: Don't freeze mash. It breaks down the cellular structure and ends up more like a French pomme purée. I renamed it 'Pomme Mikael Silvestre' after my favourite French centre-half cum left back and got away with it, but if you're not amongst football fans you may not be so lucky. Tasted great, looked like shit. Don't take the clementine granita out of the freezer too early, particularly if you've overdone it on the limoncello. It melts quickly and someone will suggest snorting it. The sugar really sticks your nostrils together on Boxing Day. Speaking of 'lost' Christmases past, John Lewis have hijacked Alison Limerick's 'Where Love Lives' for their new advert. Bastards. But not a bad ad.   Beansprout, I have a massive steel pot I bought from a Nigerian place on Choumert Road many years ago. It could do with a work out. I'm quite prepared to make a huge, spicy parsnip soup for anyone who fancies it and a few carols.  
    • Nothing to do with the topic of this thread, but I have to say, I think it is quite untrue that people don't make human contact in cities. Just locally, there are street parties, road WhatsApp groups, one street I know near here hires a coach and everyone in the street goes to the seaside every year! There are lots of neighbourhood groups on Facebook, where people look out for each other and help each other. In my experience people chat to strangers on public transport, in shops, waiting in queues etc. To the best of my knowledge the forum does not need donations to keep it going. It contains paid ads, which hopefully helps Joe,  the very excellent admin,  to keep it up and running. And as for a house being broken into, that could happen anywhere. I knew a village in Devon where a whole row of houses was burgled one night in the eighties. Sorry to continue the off topic conversation when the poor OP was just trying to find out who was open for lunch on Christmas Day!
    • We went to Chern Thai for lunch on Saturday, as we have done quite often, and they were closed, with no sign of life. The sign in the window still says Saturday 12-3, and there was no indication that they would be closed. Can anybody shed any light? We went to Chilli and Garlic on Zenoria Street instead. Their falafel salad bowl is amazing (and amazing value!) but we had been looking forward to a Pad Thai and a pint of Singha! ETA: I am reviving this thread because it is/was  specifically about Chern Thai's opening times!
