    Nope, I'm still here.

    I need everyone that is having issues to send me what device is being used and browser if possible. I'm thinking about making a lite version.
     
  3. i haven't been following this thread but i wanted to add that i really hate the mobile version. can't even bother breaking down all the reasons why because there are way too many and i'm sure others have written about it.

    is there any plan to get rid of it by any chance?

  4. is there any way to NOT view the mobile site on my phone/tablet? it's soooooo awful

    I just want the regular web on my devices... is there a way to go back? ugh.

    EDIT: sorry to be rude, zordon. it's just not a pleasurable experience. way too bare bones... I can't even see pics

  5. Only problem Im having so far is when I go back out of a thread and into the lobby, it isnt auto refreshing and I have to do it myself. Not a big deal, just slightly annoying.

    lol, i was obv just busting s1nnrs balls. I have a couple friends who have iphones and I just mess with them cause apple products are always so overhyped. I honestly dont think there is a big advantage from one to the other.

    Im assuming you have a droid phone?

    I just fired up my droid X and im gonna see if I can figure out how to switch for back and forth for ya.
  10. Okay, if you have an older Droid operating system, you cant switch using the default internet.

    Download the Dolphin Browser. Once you do, go into Menu>Settings>User Agent>Desktop.

    Then refresh and you will be good to go.
  11. yes, samsung tablet and HTC phone...

    I just recently downloaded some update on my tablet and it totally changed the interface and deleted all my bookmarks, assuming that was a new OS? so how do I switch back if I have a newer one like I think I do?

    thanks for the tip on dolphin browser... firefox is forcing me to go to .m sites too on places like ESPN and P5, sooo tilting

  12. if you have the new OS, which would be Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich or whatever dumb name they have for it), all you have to do is hit the menu buttom and click desktop. If not, just use Dolphin.

    On most sites, you can scroll all the way to the bottom and they will have a link that says "desktop site" or something like that so you can get out of mobile if you want.
  14. never thought I would get tech advice from a guy named jaybone. GLO

  16. Sorry Zordon I have to side with the rest of the posters, this is really my least favorite mobile forum.

    Another one I kind of like for speed not necessarily design

  17. I'm stuck in an endless loop of the mobile site. I click news > go to full version, but it just reloads the same gd mobile page.

    I've been doing fine with the full version just earlier tonight but I loaded OT and it threw me into the mobile site. I figured I'll mess around and see if it's better... No, pages still don't load and it takes me to the top of pages when I click the 'new' button.

    I mean, zordon seems like a good guy but I'm really frustrated now that I can't even go back to the full version. I took the batter out of my phone and restarted and same shit. I'm using a shitty blackberry bold so no one cares what I think but I'm fine w the full version if I could f'ing switch back to it.
  18. Hey guys, made a quick change that should help those that don't like the mobile site.

    If you are logged in and choose "View Full Site" then full site will become your default view from mobile devices. So, Full Site will load first and you won't see the mobile version again until you log out or choose "View Mobile" in the footer.

    Please keep the bugs and requests coming in, we'll keep this thread pinned for a while longer and keep making improvements.

  20. Am I the only one that doesnt have any problem with the mobile site? Maybe its cause im on wifi 90% of the time but, ive never had a problem with pages loading or anything. Actually, since the first initial wave of fixes, ive only used the mobile version when Im on my phone.

    Maybe im just weird idk
  21. the pages loaded fine for me... you just can't do anything on the mobile site

    for example, my pm box got full last week (sick brag ldo) while I was playing in AC, and I couldn't delete any messages (or figure out how to, if possible) for a few days, cuz all I had was my tablet and my phone

    I also can't see pics (can you? if so, how?) when on mobile, and like half the threads don't make sense without pics

    it's plenty fast for me and has some advantages, but I was tilted using it in AC. my tablet used to use the full site until I updated the damn thing

  22. i like the mobile site, it loads pretty quickly for me. i have no probs seeing pics, on iphone.
    i'm assuming at some point it will be more interactive. it would be nice to check pms and access profile.

    Hey Bulldog, glad you're liking it.

    You can access your Profile and PMs on Mobile by clicking the person icon in the header. If you have any new notifications, like a new PM, a number should show up over the person icon signifying there's something new for you. Click it and you'll have hte option to view your profile, logout, or look at al of your notifications. At the bottom of your profile page you can access your private message box.

    Waco, not sure what's happening with pics for you, I'll let Ram (Zordon) respond to that when he's back on the clock.

    Do you have any other suggestions for the PM page on mobile? We'll add ability to delete next week, that was just an oversight.

    Thanks!

  25. Too many reasons to list why the mobile site blows. I keep trying to get the desktop site going but it just puts me right back on mobile site automatically. It won't even load the desktop

    yeah, ive actually had the PM problem but luckily i could get over to the desktop version with ease.

    I have no problem with pics, vids, or gifs tho. Not sure whats wrong on your end.
  27. ok I can see pics on my phone. something is fucked up with this update on my tablet, I guess I need to download or activate some type of plug-in and I just haven't done it yet

  28. running android 4.0.1

    when i am in a thread and hit the back to off topic button, the OT forum isn't refreshed; it's just as it was when i entered the thread. So when i get back in OT i have to hit refresh, which i think is dumb

  30. I know somebody posted that the full version is the default again, but no. I posted about this a couple days ago that I'm stuck in the mobile version and clicking "go to full site" doesn't do anything but reload the "news" page. Still stuck using this mobile version and I'm oi

    Took out phone's battery, cleared cache, history, etc, but this is ridiculous. I don't mind the mobile version but there are plenty of times I need full functionality. It seems pretty ridiculous I literally am forced to use this beta for days on end and nobody will fix the link to load the full desktop version.

    Edit - okay if I use the opera mini browser the link works but then I can't click 'log in."
