[investigating] mobile site issues

a few things i've noticed recently as the mobile site has been tweaked in past weeks:1. when on the mobile site, i find myself unable to enter into the text fields of forum replies and new posts.

2. there is no way to leave a group from the mobile site

3. the feature that allows you to see the most recent comment in a post when you hover over a link has been disabled for a while on the mobile site.  this was an especially helpful feature to have here, although it would usually pop off to the right of the screen, causing me to have to do a tricky hold-down-and-slide maneuver, it allowed me to keep up with recent updates on long threads without having to load the whole thread.  

if it matters, i am using an iphone 4 with an un-updated iOS.

  • Also, clicking on a group or skill very rarely works as intended. I often have to hold it down and open it in a new page for some reason.

  • I can post to the forums from my iPhone (I get a plain text box to post into, so that works fine). On the iPad, I get the rich edit text box which is totally unresponsive in Mobile Safari. This is particularly frustrating as I often use the iPad to browse the forums - I had to switch back to my Mac to post this.

    Also, the skills page was misbehaving on the iPhone last test - it was impossible to get the 'Learn this skill' popup to appear.

  • I just got an htc evo.  Should I be able to access the game with this?

    Oh man... I could get in real trouble here.

  • Not the game itself, Pi, but all the forums, skills, profile, etc, yes.

  • I'm having problems with my Iphone 4 too. I can write a comment in the homepage, and can answer posts in the forums. But I can't answer post inside the groups.
    I have an iphone 4 with the latest software.

  • Testing was succesful. I can post in groups again using my Iphone. If only I could play the game with it... *sigh*

  • when viewing the skills page, it doesn't show the name of the skill you are currently learning.

  • Hi

    I do not know if this is just my mobile or all mobile access - but on the skills page I cannot see the name of the current skill that is in training - it can see the bar but not the name.  I am using android 2.3.4 on Nexus S if this helps
