Okay, so to update you on my two issues. The loud ads don't seem to be happening anymore. I wasn't able to get you a screenshot of that since the issue did not persist after I said something. However, the issue I'm having with the search I did take the liberty of screenshotting.

Basically, it doesn't matter what I search. Nothing will come up. Before the update, I could search for anything. Users, articles, spells, forums, covens, etc. Now, it doesn't matter what I type. Doesn't matter how vague or specific. Things that would yield results before now give none. Just a few whited out ads at the top but no actual results for the site itself. I'm sorry I didn't think of doing it sooner! Thanks for taking the time to help either way.

I just got a screaming ad. Here is a screenshot. It's on the right hand side. There were two but the first one went into the second one so fast I was only able to get the first one in time. The second was about a law firm or something. Either way, I got one!

Note of an issue:

Copy-Paste no longer works while on HTML set on profile. This is an issue for mobile users as many of us use apps to write forum posts and we copy-paste them into the pages on SoM to post them.

It used to work fine, but the update forces us to switch back and forth (there's no issue on TEXT). Each time it says "paste is not supported by your browser". I thought this was just me, but someone else has noted it.

That is an issue that also exist on Google Chrome on my desktop. Though, I use CTRL-V to paste. I do not see this as a internal website error as I know of other websites and programs that are the same way on certain browsers. The only down side is that mobile phones do not have a CTRL-V feature to paste.

1. When you go to coven articles only have the coven name. Then when you tap the name all the articles show up. It gets irritatingdoing all that scrolling. Also, inconvenient.

2. Fix the chatter glitches. Most of the time I send a message it doesn't send. Also, some messages sent by others don't show up.

3. Add the option to show yourbirthday without the year.

Many Coven articles are not available to read by anyone who is not a member of that Coven. If you try to access them it will simply take you to the Coven's main page. Coven members can set their articles up to private or public when they post them, so only they can change the settings.

In Chat, if your response is more than one or two lines it will not post. Try keeping your posts shorter and you shouldn't have any problems.

If lots of chat messages are missing then you probably have multiple chat windows open and the messages are appearing int he other windows.

If you don't want your birth year to appear then don't set the year when you edit your profile

The chat is pretty unwieldynow:

I can't see when people are on in public/coven unless they are actively talking.

Switching back and forth between coven and public is a chore because each switch scrolls the screen to the top and messages become lost in a sea of /coven or general public discussion.

And it's just horrible to look at on mobile. A bigger screen size for the text is nice, but before just zooming in was more than enough.

I also don't care to see everyone's profile pictures; it takes up extra text space and data downloading everything every time.

I'd rather have an option to do full screen like before, the current setup just feels like an updated webcam chat.

Ive tweaked the chatter a bit, desktop version should look the same except the scrollbars will now always show. Mobile will shoe the scrollbars and the chatters now

I likes how in the forums you could see how many times a topic was viewed, could you bring that back on mobile?
