Ab Anomalies

[redman41]

Having re-joined after 4 yrs away AB seems to have some minor issues.
The Sub-headings do not appear automatically every time. Pressing F5 eventually triggers them.
The Answer Box is often sluggish, as it lags behind as you type.
We use Malwarebytes Premium, and occasionally we receive a warning regarding a dodgy AD which may have malware.
We use the latest version of Windows 10 (1803) Microsoft Edge Browser.
Would be interested in Ab Editor's comments regarding the above.

Good afternoon redman41.

We are aware of the sub category issue as well as the issue regarding the small plus sign next to categories. As you say, this can usually be sorted by refreshing the page.

We have not been made aware of the 'sluggish answer box'. We have not had the issue at AB Towers or been able to replicate it. This may be something to do with your PC, your internet connection or maybe even your browser.

Regarding the advertisements ... We have little control over which ads individual users will receive. This is because a number of factors come into play such as website cookies and individual browser history. However, we can block specific URLs from our advert providers so if you are able to provide us URLs to block, without compromising your computer's security, we would be happy to block them.

Thanks AB Spare ED.
Will keep my eyes peeled for any dodgy AD's.
AB keeps rolling along ! lol...lol

Just found out the problem with Sub-headings, Ab Editor.
Have installed Google Chrome alongside Edge as an alternative Browser and Sub-headings appear every time. Edge was the problem all along.

i have been getting some weird effects for the past few days where AB seems to have a messed up display - everything seems shoved to the lefts and the layout all messed up. After a few refreshes it comes back again.
I am using w10 and firefox

Good Morning Quoi

This issue was recently discussed on another thread.

Occasionally I have had a problem with a page moved over to the left but a click on the refresh button cures it.

[Quoi]

thanks but that thread refers to ab reverting to basic text - its not that - the gui is the same just looks like its lost all the left hand padding.
it started 2-3 days ago and i thought you were messing with the layout - today it is happening about 30% of the time and 2-3 refreshes to put it right. Just wondered if anyone else had it - I think I will update the latest firefox version later today.
i have a screen shot if you want it?

Sorry to hear you're experiencing this issue Quoi.

I shall bring it up with the Tech Team right away. In order to help us out, please send the screenshot to the Editor's inbox. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Our first thoughts are that it may be a browser issue, or it may be down to some kind of caching. You could try clearing your browser's cache, or using another browser to see if the problem disappears.

thanks ed - I have sent the screen shot over for you to have a look at - its not the cache because I clear it regularly.

[ABSpareEditor]

Thank you Quoi.

A little bit more information - if I am looking at my user profile and this 'anomaly' is present then my avatar is shown monster sized - as in doesnt fit in the size of my screen
