I generally don't use the 'Remember Me' option, as I'm using Public Access machines mostly. Thanks for amending the time-out settings.

Yesterday I made some changes because "Contact Us" was not working for unregistered users, and the "Can't Log In?" sub-forum was messed up. This should not have affected anyone's login. However, when you log in, click the "Remember Me" check box and you won't get logged out automatically. In any case, I've also increased the auto-logout time to 12 hours.

I see you have now modified the Forum settings so a login is required ( I frequently had a quick browse without logging in ). However, having logged in, I found that within 25 minutes, I was no longer logged in. This is far too short. I'm glad I didn't type in a lengthy post and blindly submit it - I would certainly have 'lost it all' due to the login timer. Can the login time be increased to a more useful 60 minutes, please?

And a suggestion for everyone: 'copy' your post text ( to the clipboard ) before submitting, then if things go wrong, you should be able to 'paste' it back in to a new reply.

Yes, Mr. Carl, I agree with you But I use this link to enter the forum https://www.proxysite.com/ar/ Excuse me, Mr. Carl, we live in a country where you don't have your own good

Unfortunately, the site has been blocked in my country, Egypt

Probably because metal detectors are strictly illegal in Eqypt and they don't want people to have access on how to build one.

No, please don't copy the bottom buttons to the top of the page, because the bottom buttons are non-functional for me.... Swapping them over, so the top buttons are then at the bottom would be OK. (I realise that I am apparently the only one with this issue )

None of this is easy and requires a deep dive into modifying the forum software, which I don't have the time for. For now, it stays as is.

Can you add page navigation to the top? And it’s inconvenient --- you can’t see which page you are on ...

I looked into this and right now there is nothing reasonable I can do. I agree, the top-bar navigation sucks and I've requested that vB improve this.

Hello Carl, is there a forum setting for mobile phone users that don’t need to zoom out every time i enter on different pages in portrait mode. Landscape mode is ok, fits exactly on the screen. Thanks

I don't know anything about mobile phone operation and I don't see anything offhand, but I'll keep looking.

I'll get some mods loaded as soon as I can.

If you mean "threads" instead of "threat" then the top bar includes "What's New", "Unread Topics", and "Last 24 Hrs".
If you meant "threat" then you will need to clarify, I don't know what that means.

Something like this Carl
Its good to see latest theats and post on the top of forum homepage
