I have rectified things
I have, I believe, now fixed the many, many issues with the site redesign. This is what I get for not rolling my site out on a test server first, air-gapped to avoid incursions by enemy agents, perhaps relying only on Li-Fi for my data needs. In my defence, it seemed fine at first.
You can now comment at great depth once more. I rolled the site back to its old theme and CMS (not a pleasant process) and implemented a plugin to make it responsive on mobile. Hopefully I won’t have to do this again any time soon. Any issues, as ever, please let me know.
Thank you John! I’m sorry you went through that horrible experience and I wish to express my gratitude as one of your keen readers.
Years from now, when humble folk are gathered, we will raise our drinking vessels high and laud and remember the day that dawned when when we were once more able to write nonsensical replies to the nonsense of others. Huzzah! John is an inspiration to all.
Thank you, John. As if we didn’t already respect and appreciate you enough.
Can I complain a bit? It used to be possible to pinch-zoom the comic on mobile (Android/Chrome). Now I have to open the image in a new tab before I can zoom. It’s a little bit of friction that’s destroying my life.
Pinch to zoom works on Chrome and Safari on iOS – I don’t have an Android device to test it on and a fix is not offered by the plugin. Sorry Martin – I will add it to the list.
Can you try this, might fix it for you:
Open Chrome.
Tap on the 3-dots menu and open Settings.
Open Accessibility.
Check the “Force to enable zoom” box.
Close Chrome and open it again.
Yay. That worked. I will be overriding zoom setting from now.
Very pleased it worked for you. Thanks for reporting the issue!
Not trying to be a pest here, but I noticed that the fix you made to the page linked to here seems to have reverted when you rolled things back. I’m wondering whether any other edits might have reverted, as well. https://steeple.church/comic/playing-with-your-dinky-cars/
They did. I have been waiting for someone to notice because I couldn’t remember which ones they were. Imagine being me.
