using the forum on your mobile

Post by c.turff »

I use this forum on my mobile only and since the forum update / revamp ive been having difficulties. Most of the soft keys no longer work and I cant read my personal messages. Anybody else seeing the same?

Works fine on my Nokia 925. I must say though that whilst the Windows system isn't the most popular for whatever reason, I find it's great for browsing. It works just as well on full sites as it does on mobile versions which I certainly can't say is the case with the GF's Sony thing on android....

You're probably a bit screwed on IOS cos you're restricted to what apple allow you to do. With the samsung though, have you tried downloading a different browser? A lot of browsers also have an option for "request full/desktop site", might be worth trying. I don't use it a lot on mobile myself but haven't noticed any problems when I have (Samsung 'droid also)

It used to work fine until the site updated... Some of the forums can't be accessed directly via the index page, some need you to press the shortcuts at the top of the page, the. There is a total inability to get to your PM 's via the homepage...

All happened after the update so you'd think its in some way related

Works fine on HTC/Android. Typical Apple troubles I think!

IOS update or forum update? I know the IOS update fucked up a lot of stuff on a lot of devices.

Only had the aforementioned issues since the site update, when the lewis Collins banner went up is when I noticed it.

For example, I can select the Q&A forum from the top menu selection only, if I scroll down the page to click the Q&A forum directly, nothing happens... Relate it to when on windows if you scroll ur mouse over a clickable link it turns from a curser to pointing finger, well that (or the iOS equivalent) ain't happening on my iphone or iPad, same goes for 'messages' nothing happens when I press on it, so I have to go into the UCP and go via there to access my inbox, there are a few little glitches like that since the update... It would appear only on iOS though :deadhorse:

I don't know if it makes any difference but the old Capri Wiki tab is still lurking under the keys top left - you get a brief glimpse occasionally if the page loads slowly

I got the same problem. But found if you go to board index - profile - messages - inbox. It works that long way around :-D
