No. My tablet only shows V-Bulletin, and it's obtuse functionality.

I had TWC with the Default Mobile Style skin on my mobile phone some days ago without having done anything. I just changed it back to the TWCenter one and since, everything is fine. I can't say if it's the same problem you're having

Blame it on me (I guess) - I had several messages by newcomers complaining about the forum not having a phone skin. While we do have one it wasn't activated by default when accessing TWC with a phone, that is until I activated that particular setting a couple of weeks ago.

As with all the skins that we have you can simply select another one (PC skins only, sorry) and as long as your cookie isn't deleted on your phone (or PC) it will retain your choice.

If that wasn't the underlying problem then I am only too happy not having been responsible for the anguish.

The last week i have constant "Database Error" screen message. I have to rephrase the page more than ten times to have me in ...

Over the past 48 hours I have had constant "database error" messages when trying to log in.

Same here, but sometimes I could login and logout despite the server issue. Mostly I had database error when trying to logout.

However, navigating in the forums has been almost impossible and if I tried I always got the database error.

Not sure why you had it the whole week - seems it happened only for roughly 48 hours with everyone else.

Reckon someone was working on it as occasionally it was possible to log in as Leonard said.

You can always check the status of the site here: https://www.isitdownrightnow.com/twcenter.net.html

Good to have the site back up. Even though it's the holidays and all, hope you guys didn't have to spend too much time fixing the site.

The problem still exists.. In Android instead of the TWC forums the bulletin screen appears.

Have you tried changing it back to the desktop skin? (Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on 'Full Site'.)

If you've done that, then - as Gigantus said here - as long as your TWC cookies aren't deleted, your phone/tablet should carry on using the desktop skin.

Yesterday and today I got a message saying that I need to leave the page or stay, which usually happen after clicking on the submit button. Has anyone notice the same thing as I have?

**Akar** · April 23, 2020, 02:29 PM

I imagine this is a result of you having typed something into the quick reply box before hitting exit.

This is what happens when I type something into the chat and then hit exit.

It does occasionally happen after clicking submit, makes for a anxious moment if I just wasted some time of my life typing my latest epiphany. Thankfully that's not the case. I did however notice that it happens mostly after some delay between the last input\edit and clicking the submit button.

And this is the situation where it serves as reminder that the edit isn't saved\submitted - the original purpose of the pop up.

Remind me, what do I have to do to solve the annoying issue of constantly having to re enter my credentials every time I log into TWC?

the "remind me" buttons doesn't seem to be working

**Akar** · April 24, 2020, 03:21 AM

Are you using the https link?

**Flinn** · April 24, 2020, 03:47 AM

I should...

**makanyane** · April 24, 2020, 03:53 AM

yeah if you use a link with http:// it doesn't recognise you

if you arrive by one of them and then click some other forum view that next page will come up as https:// and it will have remembered you (which is quicker than manually logging in) - but fixing the bookmarks/links is better as it stops us spreading the problem when sharing links!

Could that indicate that the cache memory on the server needs to be purged, hence for having forum hiccups now and then?

Although, I don't remember when the last time it happen. Probably in Summer 2019 when GED and Squid made several updates on TWC e.g installing SSL protocol (https://).

I saw it too. Opened a thread in a new tab, read the post, clicked close tab and got this message. And I didn't try to type anything.
