Forum Experience on Mobile Phone

[Brigid Barry]

Howdy all. I use the Ghostery Browser on my Android phone. Starting a week or so ago, I have completely lost the ability to do anything with a post other than type. No formatting, links, or pictures, but the last straw was finding out that I also don't have access to the AW emojis (but I can use the ones that are part of my phone system).

I'm curious if any other mobile users are experiencing something similar, and what browser and operating system you're using.

Thanks!!

The only problem I have is that sometimes the Quote feature doesn't work. I can highlight the text, but when I click Reply, all gets lost and I have to try again.

I use Safari on my (very ancient) iPhone.

It might be Ghostery because it works fine in Chrome. Not that I intend to switch browsers.

FWIW, I remember AW Admin saying the software for our site wasn't very phone-friendly and she was unable to improve it for those using such a device.

I still struggle to do really simple stuff here on an iPad.

You can check to see if the app is up to date and try using an incognito browser mode (or whatever ghostberry's equivalent is) I dont have experience with that particular browser but I do have some techie knowhow.

It worked in the past on that browser?

In theory, I can do stuff here on my phone, but in reality I had such a bad time the one time I tried any formatting that I won't crit unless I'm at my desktop. Random offhand comments work just fine though.

Yes, I have always used the ghostery browser. I will see if there is an update!

Ok, thats good news. If its worked before then there is some kind of change thats happened that could be the cause. Either on the server side or on the client side. Also that it works on other browsers is also a good sign. Keep me posted and I'll see what else I could recommend.
