After 15+ years, we've made a big change: Android Forums is now Early Bird Club. Learn more here.
We've upgraded to XenForo! Help us iron out the bugs!

Multi quote on Dolphin browser - completely broken.
And the entire mobile experience is Lag Central.

Dangit , that is to read "but i could NOT go back to edit".....
On the same row as like, quote and reply, I get a 'tools' box. Edit is one of the tools when I click that.

No options for attachments, emoticons or links in Firefox; just plain text with (if prefered) a quote.
I've changed my alert notification settings and it didn't matter.
This is insanely annoying -

Looks like taptalk or android forums app is the way to start to avoid making a new account. Then try the browser. But before you try browser clear the android forums from your history

No Tools for non-staff members I suspect.
It doesn't work quite the same as vB, I noticed. You have to +Quote on every post and then use insert quote at the bottom. You can't + quote all but one and then 'reply' to the last - which is what you'd do on vB.
Not sure on the avatars.The identification of "AF Contributor" seems to be gone. I've seen badges for Administrator, Moderator, Guide, and VIP member, but no love for us Contributors.
QUESTION: Are all avatars now resized and converted to jpg, or only the ones transitioned from the old board?
I'd check your AF Contributor status but I no longer have that available.
Sorry (but it's true). Note to Rico unless I'm ninja'd - Xenforo and vBulletin are not just skins, they're different engines with their own set of options and skins.
This is the future of mobile browsing - there is no desktop view. While we're there a little earlier with Xenforo, might as well get used to it, Google is moving to ignore the desktop agent altogether.
You can't get a proper desktop view of Phandroid either anymore.
Everyone loves it - Google for the Hawthorne Effect - it's just as wonderful as "material design" - if you know what I mean and I think that you do.
(And "material design" not an actual design term lmao, it really ought to be called "marketing design" but that's for another thread.)
Yeah, that's how I'd expect it to work. I assume though that the edit button would be positioned in the same place, minus the tools drop down.

Erased your address from your post. Please, it is unwise to post your mail address in a public site, especially in one of this size. It would bring you a pile of spam. If you see a report button in the lower left corner of my post, use that for private contact with moderators/admin.

It's all based on the effective screen width of your browser rather than whether it reports itself as a desktop or mobile. It chops bits out and moves stuff around to fit the available screen width. It works great until you find a certain situation where it doesn't, at which point it is frustrating.
Carrier forums are missing from the homepage and in TT.
So is forum browsing on Tapatalk broken for anyone else?
It works fine for me on other forums, just not this one.

Sorry about this. I'm sure this will be one of the first bugs that is tackled.
Yeah, quite a few reports of Tapatalk problems have been coming in. You may apparently have more luck with the non-branded version rather than the AF branded one.

Hey there @Xyro, Yup I gotcha. and yup i noticed too that google is stripping desktop view on mobile devices ...whats this world coming to! By gum i was a desktop-Formattist from birff and I shall Diiiih uh Desktop-Formattist! You're right, the only browser that allows me to bypass Googles 'Forced' freedom is Firefox browser, but i am noticing some glitches using it on the trusty android.
"Material Design' is exactly what you've said it is "marketing " at its best.

Think I've come across a bug with a link to a moved thread.
In the "android news & talk" forum there's a thread 2015 Flagship Phones. I think the thread was moved to the "Device/Carrier Comparisons" subforum, and that this "thread" is really a link, or rather was a link before the XenForo migration. If I click on it now it doesn't take me to the thread, just gives me a reply box with no posts to read.
Don't know whether this is a general problem with redirects (or with redirects that pre-dated the forum update) or just a one-off quirk, as I've not stumbled on any other examples so far.

Brought to you by Google - the people that first removed text reflow from WebKit (mustn't have other browsers doing what mobile Chrome cannot).
This is their solution to the problem they invented by breaking stuff that worked perfectly fine.
And the real reason has zero to do with appearance quality.
How many of us have done this - go to YouTube (a division of Google Skynet), get the message of either insufficient permissions or not available in your country, switch to mobile browser with desktop agent, and boom, watch video, done.
This is all about fixing what they don't like and is zero about viewing quality.
Redirects are pants in general right now, sorry.
