Tablet / computer help required

Post by clutchspring »

Hi, the problem I'm having is the ABR home page doesn't show properly now on my Android tablet & phone ! .
On the home page the main menu doesn't show at the top under the banner , it's to the left and shows a series of lines to click on, then this takes me to the menus but the link for the forum is missing.
Didn't have any problems before I'm assuming the ABR site has had some sort of update but why isn't the web site loading properly !.
Every thing works OK on the wife's computer.

Thanks,
Ian.

Yes the forum page looks same as yours, but it's the home page not showing correctly as in the menue isn't showing at the top of the page under the ABR banner.
I only got on to the forum via a link from the ABR team as my home page doesn't show a tab to click on to forward me to the forum , if you get what I mean.

Thanks

Ian.

I get the same thing on an iPad clutchspring. No obvious way to get to the forum by going through the the menu lines top left of the home page. Changed about a week ago from memory but I put it down to me missing the point somewhere!

Hi from the forum page I clicked on merchandise at the top to go to another page. If you scroll to the bottom of the page there's a home selection.
Which gives

Opposite way around bil_qaz

See the three little bars in the picture you posted towards the top left. If you click on that and expand it there is no link to the forum.

I can call up the home page no problem but unless I am on the PC in (using Chrome) I don't see an option to get to the forum from the home page - I think that is what clutchspring also found.

Thanks for trying though.

Ah sorry I see what you mean now, from the homepage I have no link to the forum as you say. I have the forum page saved as a favourite and go straight there,
https://adventurebikerider.com/forum/se ... ive_topics
so had never tried getting from the home page. Perhaps message site management :?:

Just noticed Ian there's no link from the forum page to the home as well as the other way, appears the link is missing in both directions :shock:
