Refresh Your Browser Cache

I've been tinkering behind the scenes here at Boosterrific.com recently. Some of the changes you may have already noticed. I've revised styling on comments forms, created a contact page, and added some color to the mobile landing page.

I also took a look at the database to check on some dates. You won't be surprised to learn that it's been a long time since we've seen Booster Gold in a DC Universe comic.

Depending on how you want to count it:

It's been 44 days since Booster appeared in a few panels in Injustice 2 #5 (July 5, 2017).

It's been 142 days since his questionably continuity appearance in Booster Gold/The Flintstones #1 (March 29, 2017).

It's been 303 days since his one-panel background cameo in Green Lanterns #9 (October 19, 2016).

It's been 716 days (1 year, 11 months, 2 weeks, and 2 days) since his last significant part in Bat-Mite #4 (September 2, 2015)!

The guys at my Local Comic Shop don't even recognize me anymore! At this point, I should be happy to see Mr. Oz revealed as Booster just so that I can see my hero back in action.

Anyway. Enjoy the new, improved Boosterrific.com. If anyone spots any malfunctions, please let me know.

Ok, for me on Android, the Add a Comment fields
were all tiny and squished on the left side of my
phone screen. Cleared my Chrome mobile app's
cache and came back to comment only to see it
wasn't fixed. Requested the Desktop version of the
page and then switched back to Mobile : the field
boxes are now normal-sized again, but the Comment
field I'm currently typing in overlaps the Notify Me of
Follow-up Comments tick box.

That's good feedback! I knew the old CSS file caused that "left side" problem and would self correct once the browser refreshed its cache of that file. However, the "overlap" problem is news to me. I'll try to fix that this week.

Glad I could be helpful somewhat!
I forgot to say the Comment field doesn't
overlap over the tick box right away, but as soon
as you type enough text in for it to auto-expand,
the tick box fails to move down with it so it all
overlaps.
I also notice strange line breaks in my
published comment above; I'm not sure how
that happened.

I've solved the textbox expansion problem (I think) by simply giving it more space.

As for your line breaks, I'm sure I caused that with my other css or form changes. Although I do often have a problem with your comments in the database -- I assume caused by the French character set -- which means its possible my error is in comment processing. Either way, I'll keep tweaking, and sooner or later, I'll get you fixed.

Thanks for reporting.

Oh drats, I wasn't aware just having my virtual keyboard set to Canadian French, which is basically a regular QWERTY with some extra stuff I am not using when I comment here, would cause trouble.
Technology am I right? :/
