The changing face of UHub today

By adamg on Thu, 10/19/2017 - 1:52pm

Seems the module that detects mobile devices has gone bonkers today and is showing the mobile version to lots of desktop users. I think I've fixed that (if you're on a desktop and the site has tons of white space and just looks weird, then I haven't, in which case let me know), but the fix has changed the look of the mobile version (which should still be readable, it's mainly that the headline fonts are different and you may not see the ad you usually see at the top of pages, which may be good for you, not so good for me).

Still looks funny to me on

Still looks funny to me on desktop. It's been like this since yesterday.

I just tried clearing my cache, which brought the UHub icon back in the top left, but it hasn't gone completely back to normal.

Same here

But it's fine on my laptop.

Looks good

On Firefox on Linux. Not so good on Chrome on Linux. Also not good on Vivaldi. No so good on Opera. Not so go on Midori.

Edit again.

Looks better if I login.

Still looks strange to me

Broken

By anon on Thu, 10/19/2017 - 2:24pm.

Go to an article page in your Firefox, press F12 to get developer tools, click to the Network tab, do a force reload, and look at the tons of requests. And the layout is still obviously broken. Some software or configuration is bad.

Ugh, my apologies, folks

By adamg on Thu, 10/19/2017 - 2:32pm.

Looks like I have some work to do ...

still mobile on desktop here

By snoe on Thu, 10/19/2017 - 2:36pm.

May be on account of my old Windows 7 box...

Change = bad

By anon on Thu, 10/19/2017 - 3:09pm.

Uhub is eccentric, not kopacetic. Out with the new !

Thing is, I wasn't trying to change anything

By adamg on Thu, 10/19/2017 - 4:52pm.

It started today, still trying to figure out why, since I wasn't doing any tinkering with the look and feel at all.

Wonky on Chrome

By Amy D on Thu, 10/19/2017 - 3:26pm.

it's the mobile version very stretched out.

Looks

By plt3012 on Thu, 10/19/2017 - 3:33pm.

It's fine on my Kindle. Not on my laptop.

Kindle Fire view

By cat on Fri, 10/20/2017 - 3:26pm.

Looks the same today as a week ago - which is fine. However, I cannot log in.

No trouble logging in from a pc or laptop; but cannot get either the old Fire or a newer version to accept my login name/password. No big deal, there is always a work around for commenting.

Looks fine on Chrome desktop,

Looks fine on Chrome desktop, chrome android is a bit bonkers.

What?

By dd808 on Thu, 10/19/2017 - 3:55pm.

Nobody uses IE or Edge?

No

By Anons on Thu, 10/19/2017 - 10:33pm.

Very few IE or Edge users. About 10% of web traffic in the US. I suspect even lower in Boston, which probably has more Safari.

Firewall

By cybah on Thu, 10/19/2017 - 7:46pm.

Yesterday, we had firewall issues at work and websites were slow to reply. This morning I was still having that issue, but when the page loaded.. it was wonky.

Here I am telling our network team the firewall now has TWO issues.. when it was really Adam just messing with the site.

Browser wars?

By dmk on Thu, 10/19/2017 - 8:07pm.

It may be due to the plethora of browsers now available. Just because they say they are a Chrome-based browser, does not mean that they are telling servers that they are a Chrome-based browser. Same for any of the other flavors of browsers based on Chrome, Mozilla (Firefox), and those few mongrels out there.

If you really want to have some fun try Lunascape. It's somewhat behind in development but you get your choice of engines and can assign those to specific web sites.

I think its portable too. Interesting tool for testing how web sites look.

OS X 10.11.6, Chrome 61.0.3163.100
