I would advise to switch to https for entering passwords. There is no automatic redirect for some reason, but the URL of the forum is explicitly set to https://www.likera.com/forum/mybb

And most likely that was the reason why it's working for me and not working for some - before logging in the URL in my browser was aeady (always) set to https.

And now there's something funky with the unread posts.  There are a bunch of foreign language ones that have popped up (they weren't there yesterday) that show last updated 4 years ago and some other random threads, none of which have the bold formatting indicating unread.  If I open them, all of the posts within show as unread, but then they drop off that list.

I think this is a normal behaviour if you played with the cookies. Just "mark all forums read" (at the very bottom of the index page). Also, it's a new plugin, that I installed yesterday 😉

I've tested again - the forum correctly forwards me to HTTPS, even if I begin with HTTP.

It's ok now.

Interestingly it's logged straight into the full version on a mobile device.... but so far it seems to be fine.

Yes, see here:

Just in case, I temporary disabled the mobile version of the forum for the same reason. BTW, looks like the GoMobile plugin is abandoned, so a new solution might be needed. The MyBB 2.0 theme should be responsive, but there is no ETA for v2.0. Not even approximate. But it will be a huge and scary upgrade

I will try to reinstall the mobile version after I go through all forum templates, revert them to the default, then reapply the changes. I did not do this since the upgrade from 1.6 to 1.8, but in fact it should be done for any 1.x.x version. It's just too much work, so I'm a little behind 😁

The blue dot showing new messages in a subforum isn't working for me. The list on the right and the arrow at each thread containing new messages are ok.

I use chrome on android

The blue dot showing new messages in a subforum isn't working for me.

What is not working exactly? As far as I remember, clicking on the blue dot should mark all messages read in that subforum.

OpenSSL 1.1 is out for Ubuntu, so I activated mobile friendly CHACHA20-POLY1305 cipher suite for this site (ChaCha20-Poly1305 is three times faster than AES-128-GCM on mobile devices). That means lower CPU cycles and longer battery life 😉 What means you can take more photos with your phone and upload them here 😉
