NOTE: Please see the 2019 Mobile Devices BUG REPORTS thread here.
PLEASE POST SCREENSHOTS of the FULL SCREEN and report your DEVICE TYPE, OPERATING SYSTEM, BROWSER TYPE AND VERSIONS you are using in your post.This thread is strictly for the reporting bugs related to the 15 November 2017 upgrade of FlyerTalk Mobile on your MOBILE device. (Please refrain from discussion or speculation about issues if they are not reports as specified here.)

Your full report (see above) will assist Internet Brands / FlyerTalk in handling these expeditiously. Admin / Tech attempts to respond to all reports speedily, but eliminating problems / bugs may require devising technical solutions that may require time. (Internet Brands operates during usual work hours on the U. S. West Coast; customary holidays, weekends, etc. are observed.)

To see how to include a screen shot in your post, once you have taken the screen shot follow the instructions "Inserting a photo or image from your device into a post:" in the first post in the thread http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/techn...mage-post.html

NOTE: Internet Brands and FlyerTalk discourage the use of software that modifies your FlyerTalk browsing experience (e.g. ad blocking software). IB / FT declines all responsibility for the use of such software and can not provide support or assistance if such software is used. As well, we remind you IB / FT can only provide FlyerTalk free to members because of the financial support of advertisers; using ad blockers denies IB / FT income that would normally pay for your free community membership and browsing experience..

Posts advocating, suggesting, or recommending use of ad blocking etc. software will be summarily deleted.

And going off your other post, you're on Android, right? I'll test this out.

Correct. The Internet app seems to open FlyerTalk and some other websites as a shell within a shell.

IBJoel​IBJoel, any update on the editor quirks reported in posts 130/132?

BTW the above sentence illustrates a related bug. I started it off by tapping the B for boldface, typing out IBJoel exactly once, then the B again to turn off boldface, and then a space. As soon as I tapped the spacebar, the editor added the second non-bolded copy of your handle all by itself.

Zorak testing. Looks OK. Were you using mobile skin? I do know there's a text editor update coming. I will try to get an ETA.

Android, yes. Opera browser and Gboard input. Will stay tuned for the editor update and see what happens...

Opera could potentially be the issue. Opera users represent a tiny fraction of users, thus it gets less dev attention. I will bring this up with the team working on the new editor.

And BTW, the mobile skin sucks.
The jumping pages bug is still not fixed!

What device are you using? What browser? Are you on the mobile skin or the desktop skin? Do you have Infinite Scroll enabled?

  1. iPad, iPhone and desktop.
  2. Safari, Edge.
  3. Desktop (the mobile skin is NFG).
  4. Yes, but I'm talking about when I'm not logged in.
  5. I tried to reply to this on my iPad but it was unusable. I couldn't see what was being typed.
  6. Why does my scroll wheel keep getting deactivated on this site (and only on this site)?
  7. Why can't you just put it back the way it was a year ago before it all got screwed up?

The Desktop skin is not optimized for mobile devices, and combined with Infinite Scroll, that's not surprising that you're getting "twitches" on-screen.

A very common question that does not get answered.
But the obvious best way to fix the never ending problems.

I have not been able to access FT on a Samsung phone for a looooooong time. No problems with any other web site.

Quite frankly, with GDPR, there HAD to be a change. What exact problems are you having on your Samsung? What browser are you using?

For threads that have a wiki, the last post button doesn’t take you to the last unread post, and instead just puts you on the top of the last page where the wiki is. iOS 12 and this has been happening for a while now.

A while, as in, before iOS 12 dropped?
