    Has the layout changed or is it just my phone? Today I had a little trouble signing in here. The links for Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube are displayed in the upper right corner of the Forums right over the Signin link on my phone. This is not where they usually are when I come here on my phone. It would not scroll down either. I couldn't signin without accidentally hitting one of those links. I did managed to work around signin by trying to reply to a post which gives you a message to signin and a link. Just takes longer.;)
    Just wandered if it is just my phone or if it is how it will be now ? Is it happening to other people using phones?

    What phone? I still use a Lumia Windows 10 Mobile phone and that's exactly what I see too but mine has always been like that and I have to use your method to get signed in.

    I just checked and mine is also like that but, I can scroll down and then there's a big orange 'Sign up now!' button.

    I am not able to scroll down they are stationery over the signin. As I said I have to click on Reply then it takes me to a Signin screen. Interestingly when I go to log out scrolling down works.

    Typing this from my phone . I use FF. Not sure of version. My Samsung J3 Emerge is running v 6 Marshmallow. I have no trouble scrolling logged in or not logged in.

    I had the 3 icons, but they didn't cover the login screen. Eventually my blocker kicked in and they are gone.

    Now on my desktop after closing FF and getting info. FF 65 is on the phone and I have the addblock plus addon.

    I use Chrome browser on my phone. I have on last two phones and this just started few days ago. The work around to signin is managable I just found it strange that something changed. Thanks!

    Back on phone. I just updated FF and wanted to see if anything changed. The only change I notice is that the 3 annoying icons don't disappear. Since I never use fb, twitter or whatever the 3rd one means, it just takes up screen space.

    Thanks. I started googling it then I finally just clicked it to see where it lead! :p

    I tried chrome and samsung browser with no problem but I couldn't stand to use either one. Too many ads and samsung puts a bar at the bottom with possible actions. On a 5" screen. that just takes up too much real estate from the actual window I'm interested in viewing.
    I rarely consider browsing on my phone. My 10.1" android tablet is just a lot easier.

    Still have and use as a backup phone to my Sony XZ1 the Lumia 950, TBH Microsoft blew it on apps as these phones are superb, had a 920 before this one, trounce IMHO an iPhone.

    I doubt I would ever have been willing to pay the retail price for a new 950XL but I did get a used one for £100 18 months ago. Love it and will be a bit sad when I finally have to retire it. Another case of poor marketing causing loss of a superior product.
