You should definitely be preparing to do the upgrade, as eventually the older versions are discontinued and no longer supported - then the upgrade is done automatically and you don't have the luxury of testing and preparing for it.We are potentially looking at upgrading to the latest Xenforo version (to see if this resolves this issue and others), but there's a lot to consider when making such a massive change.
We would be going up 2 major version releases and having to upgrade the entire site database, templates, everything. Tis a big job.
We also need to ensure the site functionality is not impeded (we have quite a few add-ons running), by reduction in feature set if upgrading.
This issue ONLY impacts mobile browsers it appears. My guess is due to template issues, and non mobile compatible ads.
Not sure if that's resolved using The Kennel App or Tapatalk (as I've never used either).
This is one for the site adminsitrators ( @Nash and @habs ). @Nash has been contacted as he looks after all the programming on the site.
Not sure how much revenuse the ads generate in all honesty. If it was me and the ad revenue was slim to none, I'd just remove them completely.
Yeah the box / thread box down bottom of page is an interesting one. Well aware of that one.
Depending on your host you should be able to make the upgrades in a staging environment and test out all your plugins and compatibility.
If you need help or advice with it please feel free to DM me
