Site Bugs 2 (Page 6 of 14)

Somewhere in the last day or sl the forums have become all but unusable on my Android.  The page is wider than my display, which is fine, but I cannot shift it right or shrink it--and that is not fine.

Curiously, it allows the shrink when entering text.

The browser is Chrome.

This 'cannot shift or shrink' takes away the ability of the user to adapt to unforseen circumstances.  Can we please make the site usable on the Android again?

Okay!  It's working again.  Thank you.

I was trying to use my android phone with the default browser to respond to someone else's entry on the Wish List thread. I was able to read their part of the thread, but when I was typing my reply in the Write Message box at the bottom of the screen, after a few paragraphs, the view kept jumping up to display what I was responding to, rather than where I had been typing. I had to abandon the reply. This may be because my reply was too long for the android screen and things got confused. That's just a guess though.

Hmm. Not sure. I'll try testing it a bit. We did have an android problem with the forums earlier today. Try it now and see if it's better. Let me know.
Thanks,

Are you able to resize any in-line reviews? I've noticed that some content, depending  on how it is posted, does not resize well.

When I click on Find More Books from the home page, it takes me to the My Groups Content page where I see all available books. There are Summary and Chapters buttons for each book that expand to show the book content summary and chapter listing, respectively.

I noticed that the Summary button only shows the first four lines of my summary, then trails off with .... The chapter listing works as expected, showing as many chapters as exist in the book. People who keep their summaries short won't be affected but, as I'm sure you know, I'm rather long-winded and can't squeeze everything into four lines.

Thanks.

Yes, that's an annoyance, and it would be nice if the highlighted areas would also be deleted along with the unwanted comment, but no biggie. It just requires an additional comment to explain such to the author.

That's not the primary problem.  If I highlight three words, make a comment, then delete it, then decide I want to make a comment that requires highlighting the sentence, I can't, because you can't double highlight something.  Yeah, you can work around it, but it's a glitch and it's been around for a long time, it's illogical, it shouldn't be difficult to fix—and it should be fixed, not worked around.  I run into this several times in each in line review.

Hope I don't have the font size issue. I'm blind.

In the posting view for my own book, when I click on the chapter pick list, some of the chapters are highlighted with the word "regular". Not all of my chapters have this (even though most have regular reviews), and none have the word "inline" next to them. It's no big deal, since I primarily use the pick list to navigate other people's chapters, not so much my own.

As long as it's not corrupting anything...

Hi, Sol--I have a message that won't go away.  I reviewed a work, and the work was taken down before I got to read the author's response.  So the link to the reply goes nowhere, except to tell me the work has been removed.  But I still have that red button on my home page telling me I have a review reply, and I can't find a way to get rid of it.  Is it something I can handle?  If so, how?  Thanks.  JP

I just did a regular review of a chapter. When I clicked the 'Post Review' button, I waited, and waited, and waited, while my browser said "waiting for thenextbigwriter.com". Suddenly the screen cleared and I got an error' message of "An error occurred - Application Error".  The chapter was for 0.49 points, but when I went back to re-do the review, I was told that I wouldn't get any points because I'd already reviewed the chapter.

I didn't get the points, either.
