android - no option to reply to posts?
« on: September 22, 2011, 18:51:18 pm »
When i access the site on my android phone, I can open and read posts but can't see an option to reply to posts?  Does anyone know if it is possible to reply using android?

This reply is made via Android  from my HTC Desire, perhaps it's specific to your phone's  browser?

Do you see the full version of the site on your phone?

No its not the full version, I just have a list of forums and them posts.  I doesn't look the same. There are no tickers/avatars or anything either.

Every other site I go on looks the same as on the computer.

What's the URL of the website that's in your phone browser?  The site used to have a mobile version and I wonder if your phone's browser is defaulting you to the mobile version.  It's been a while since I looked in behind the scenes of the software so I don't know if the mobile feature is still operational.

Some phone browsers will signal to a website that it's a mobile device and then the website will only send a mobile version of the site.  You should be able to switch the feature of in your phone though.

The url is fine, some phones will aggressively call for the mobile version of a site if it exists, a friend of mine has a major issue with this on his iPhone which makes viewing eBay really annoying.

Are you able to look into your phone settings to switch off mobile view?  Android settings can be pretty consistent across phones.  On mine it's:

Open browser > Menu > More > Settings > Mobile view (select/deselect as necessary).

Hi, this all sounds very familiar..  I think I must be seeing the mobile version of the site on my blackberry.  Any idea how to get the 'real' version of the site on a blackberry?
TIA

Hi, I still haven't worked it out.  I tried to do as Gareth suggested but when I get to 'settings' there is no option for 'mobile view' so I gave up!  Let me know if you work it out!

Apparently, there's a browser called Bolt for Blackberry phones.  However, I have no experience whatsoever of Blackberry phones and cannot comment on how successful it would be.
