Vertical text

[KSK]

Hi,

I'm having a problem with the forum. If I'm browsing threads the text appears vertically in a single column. If I follow a link to a specific post, e.g. through an alert or the 'last posted' link for a given thread, everything looks fine. Any ideas what could be causing this or how to fix it?

I'm viewing the forum on whatever browser comes with iOS 6 but haven't had this problem before.

Thanks.

I have no idea what would cause this issue. Do you have any screenshots available, and does it occur on any other browser?

[KSK]

Hi Kasper - thanks for the reply.

No screenshots I'm afraid, as I only have a tablet to hand and so can't test this on another browser either. It works fine on my phone browser but of course, that's just getting the mobile version of the site.

Briefly though,  the home page looks normal. If I click through into any of the sub-forums, all the thread titles appear in vertical text. Clicking through again, the thread title is again displayed vertically but underneath, the thread content is displayed normally. 

Not sure if that helps? Hope it's a bit clearer than my previous post. By way of troubleshooting, I've tried clearing my browser cache and history but that didn't make any difference. Also, this only started happening last night - the forum was rendering fine up until then.

If you're not able to make a screenshot you might be able to take a shot of your screen. Take an old fashioned picture with another device. ANY image would be helpful. Even a low quality one.

Hmm, iPad screenshots are easy - who knew. OK, this is a shot of the top of this thread.

I've received a (speedy!) answer from IPS regarding this. It's a known issue that will be fixed in their next release.

Cool. I won't bother reporting my very nearly identical element sizing issue then.

Excellent - thanks Kasper and thanks IPS for the speedy reply. Good to know I'm not just going nuts!

I knew I wasn't the only one! Glad it's already set to be fixed!

..when you read vertical text in vertical text.

Though,it's weird because it happen everywhere except gameplay questions & tutorials forums..

I went to IPS's own forums today and their forum doesn't show any vertical text issues.  Does that mean a new release has come out?  Topics are still vertical here for me.

 

[KasperVld]

Yes, the update has been applied now. Is the issue resolved?

[BigFatStupidHead]

The issue is resolved for me. I can finally browse the forums again!

Sorry - forgot about this thread.  Issue is resolved for me as well.
