Good job, Bill Brillinger on this extremely helpful thread!
How to Correct a Linked Video on the MRH Forum
When you link to a Youtube video from MRH, the forum software automatically tried to embed the video so it can be watched directly in the post. This is great except it does it wrong and many users browsing the forums with tools other than a Desktop PC or Laptop cannot see the video, they just see part of the link.
The bad video post looks like this:
"new" post - goes to top of page
I've noticed a small change in behavior the last couple of days.
I always read the forum by click on "recent posts." Then, selecting "x new" for an older topic that has new replies.
When reading on the Windows 10 PC with the Chrome browser, this takes me directly to the first new reply.
When reading on an iPad or iPhone, iOS 9. and the Chrome browser, this takes me to the top of the first page that has a new reply. Using Safari, "x new" takes me to the first new reply.
Cannot open MRH node links
I am a new subscriber, so that may be the REAL cause of my problems. I can view the magazine perfectly, and click on the manufacturers links fine. But when I click on a link that has more information, for example mrhmag.com/node/22469 I cannot see it. CHROME says "This webpage is not available" and IE says "This page can't be displayed." The same thing for MRH videos. I have tried it on a Windows 7 computer and a Chromebook. I followed your suggestions on troubleshooting downloading your magazine, but zilch.
Podcasts won't download
My iPhone 6S just updated its nasty self to iOS 9.2, and a completely different version of the Podcast App came with it. The MRH podcasts will now only play when connected to Wi-Fi or thorough Cellular data (ouch). If you select "download this episode", the little circle will fill up and then kick back an error "unable to download episode". A little cloud appears to left of the episodes, which turns to a "!" when out of wi-fi range or you turn off cell data for podcasts.
Missing Blog
I went looking for my blog on "Doin' the Desert, Scenery on the 8th Sub" to help with some answers to another forum member. It seems to have been un-published or marked as spam. Any chance it can be retrieved?
Personal settings
I can't find a place to insert my avatar. Also, I have my own domain for hosting photos and it works everywhere except here for a signature. What am I doing wrong?
