Don't I recall something Ben said earlier in this thread about having to clear the cache somehow to get new settings to take effect?
I have that same issue sometimes, I usually press it several times and eventually it will work. Top tip keep yourself signed in so you wont have to press it again. I'm on WP 8.1 also and I think it is an issue with the browser rather than the design of the mobile site.
How do you do that?
All of a sudden all three mobile no can sign in!!!!!!!!!!!
So issue solved?
probably a PICNIC

Hi, tried to access the site on an iphone 3 GS. When I click the 'biscuit' (3 line bar menu) the menu appears transparently but I am unable to sign in. Although I'm not sure if this is a phone problem as I can only update to IOS 6.
Hope this helps.

Well, I would like feedback on what you find useful with it - maybe I can implement that into the mobile site.
There are only 2 thinks which I can see it is better than the site on:
1) Push notifications (which admittedly is very very useful). The solutions to that are either integrate with a current system such as Pushover or Pushbullet - which is the easiest, or the second would be to code a companion app which is purely to receive updates.
2) "Share to Thread" - Although the current app can't do this, if we were to code a new one, you could click a photo in your phone gallery, then share it directly to a new thread.
Apart from that, what else is missing?
Yes, so I can confirm the fix for it not working on windows phone is to clear the cache (delete browsing history - no need to delete passwords just the other stuff...cookies and so on )
But might not work if you still have the page loaded or browser open so worth just closing that down then going into the internet explorer settings and selecting "delete history"
Now I can log in using the menu :slayer: woop woop and so on.

That's interesting. Had you ever used the mobile site before?Yes, so I can confirm the fix for it not working on windows phone is to clear the cache (delete browsing history - no need to delete passwords just the other stuff...cookies and so on

There was a very old version of the JS that did have issues, but that was updated quite some time ago!

Working on the search now.

Search done. Nothing new to see, just searches within the current forum if in one.
If on the main page, will search everything.
Search link in the side menu will also search everything.

Hi Ben,
Yes so I might have just not cleared my cache for a while, because I went on the mobile site version a little while ago but then discovered it didn't login. I went back to the settings and selected the preference as the web version but it didn't update and continued to open in the mobile version of the site...being lazy I just carried on without being able to log in (incognito
) I was being a bit dumb I guess, but seems you have to clear the cache to switch between the mobile version and the web version (unless I missed a link / button on the website but I did try).One more thing though. I can't get into the forum menu after I have logged in it seems. Probably don't need to that often though.
And also as it turns out if you clear the browsing history it deletes the password for FF as well so I have to login again
Is that a clue? Maybe password stuff isn't in the normal password directory stuff area? You can probably tell this isn't my area of expertise...but maybe something useful I can blab about. Hope you get to the bottom of it anyway and thanks for all your work on the forum as usual! Si

Why does every post on this tedious thread have to appear on every sub-forum?

Because I need as many people to see it as possible. It affects pretty much everyone.

It's not that any functionality is missing but I find the app much easier to navigate on my small screen on a moving bus (or anywhere really). In the app it's almost impossible to select the wrong thing, just click on the desired thread. In a browser a typical screen might contain around 20 hyperlinks all very close to each other. Get the wrong one and you've got to wait for it to load, go back and try again. Maybe I've just got fat fingers.
Like I said, no functionality missing from the web pages, it's just a usability thing for me on a small screen.
Keep up the good work,
M
Must add again, the 3 line thing in top left is not always responsive. It just dims and does nothing - could this be the browser?

No problems at all with either the app, or the full site on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3, on Giffgaff.........................always works perfectly, no matter which format I use.
