I found and fixed a technical issue that was causing problems with our forum's mobile display. The problem was in our responsive.css - a rule early in the file was missing a closing brace (}). This single character omission created cascading parsing failures that broke the entire responsive layout system.
What Was Happening:- Forum pages were too wide for mobile screens, forcing users to scroll sideways
- Text and buttons extended beyond phone screen edges
- Navigation was difficult on smartphones and tablets
- The layout looked broken on smaller devices
What Caused It:The missing closing brace in our responsive.css confused browsers about how to display the forum properly on different screen sizes. When browsers couldn't interpret the mobile formatting rules correctly, they defaulted to showing the desktop version on phones, which didn't fit properly.
What's Fixed:- Mobile pages now fit properly within phone and tablet screens
- No more horizontal scrolling issues
- Navigation works smoothly on all devices
- Forum content displays correctly regardless of device size
- Better experience for members accessing the site on mobile
Moving Forward:We'll be checking our code more carefully to prevent similar issues. If you notice any display problems on your device, please let the staff know so we can address them quickly.
The forum should now work properly whether you're accessing it from a desktop computer, tablet, or smartphone.
Thank you to the mobile users who reported the issues.
