Worth mentioning @Trev has made some significant improvements to the site in the last month and a half to further improve search, tagging and labelling of threads, greatly reducing the number of threads with useless titles like HELP! and making information much easier to find.

We're seeing the benefits from that flowing through in the form of increased traffic and new members now which is great to see for the long term health of the site. A lot of time and effort went into it from him so its awesome to see some actual benefits from google rather than continuing declines as AI answers replace links to the site.

This is such a minor thing, I hate to post it, but it's curious. This is viewed in Safari on a MacBook running Sonoma 14.6.1. The launch screen has two different appearances, randomly. The first is obviously the intended look.

That's actually really odd, I'll let @Trev know but it looks like something relating to the CSS not getting loaded in, is it still happening?

Intermittently.

Sorry Dan, not sure how I missed your post.

Unfortunately, I only have access to Safari on Sequoia (and later releases). I haven't seen it on those. When the weird header appears, does it resolve itself by scrolling the page or any other actions? Reload fixes it?

It doesn't go away with scrolling, reload occasionally fixes it. Clicking on one of the whited-out buttons turns it black.

It's really not a big deal especially if it is cured by an OS upgrade. I will get around to that one of these days.

I've noticed recently that a number of photographs are not loading in a post, I just see the outline and a blue ?

When I select the pic and hit the +, the pic becomes visible, back to normal view and it's gone again.

Your end or my end?

Heres an example from https://omegaforums.net/threads/crown-glass-gasket-list.81619/post-2299037

and when I select the pic.

Thanks, just found a pattern to this and coordinating with Ash.

Unfortunately this is still happening on my end? Any help is greatly appreciated.

I posted a link to a thread on gold prices, which I hope will stay current:

You bought the watch for a little more than the gold scrap value, assuming the gold case weighs 10 grams:

It could be more or less. You would need to weight it without the movement or crystal.

When you click the link on my cellphone running Safari, it takes you to the page below and then to the link.

This isn’t happening on my Windows PC, so any clue as to what is going on here?

I’ll try to replicate this tomorrow thanks for the report it might be the url getting mangled somehow by Google
