Private Messages Not Working Properly

the_bookie

Hi I am using an android smartphone and trying to write a Private message
is a nightmare at the moment where
I am wondering if there is a problem
as after hitting username then going
to private discussions there is just a
black bar under avatar broken & I'm
using a newer phone where I've have
wasted over an hour so thought this
needed flagged up as its unworkable
unfortunately .

It's working perfectly for me, visually theres a button that is unreadable but that's about it.

Can you screenshot what you see? Incase it's different for you.

The reason it was updated was because there was an possible payback exploit that had to be closed. I'm sure the team will fix those visual issues soon though.

Hello there @i_am_sy

Think it got broke with updates they
were doing to the site thanks .

Will try again later as its a non runner
at present .

If you press the top right-hand corner of that black bar you'll see the normal message window pop up and function like normal.

It's just that the button can't be seen rather than not being there.

the_bookie just to follow up, we today released an update to improve the situation with private discussions on mobile.

Have you had a chance to take a look yet @the_bookie ?

Evening @ianmorland

Just had a look and that is really
fantastic cheers .

See the yellow button on left for
writing new message and I am
using giffgaff app on Android 9

What I had before was invisible
button top right in avatar below
chrome cheese grater that did
not work properly .

Once again a big thanks to you
and @alex_w for all your hard
work .
