using the new forum was a bit challenging after the change over on my android powered phone. i am never on a desktop computer anymore. this is my 1st post from a desktop device in over a year. in the past 2 days the forum does not work at all on my phone. when i open the page i get the tab for all of the forum choices but when i choose a forum it goes to a blank page with the title of the forum at the top. its not my phone, all other web pages work fine. i have cleared all of my data, cookies, form codes and the like. its very frustrating and is the reason for my dropout since the change over. is anyone else having these problems?

cool, i dont feel as bad now. i have tried downloading different browsers, changing flash programs. nothing works. being tied to the computer is driving me nuts...... i got an email on my phone telling me that you replied to my topic but i cant view it on my phone, so here i sit at the desk typing a reply.......hahaha
My tab, which is just a big phone stopped working on the forum yesterday. So im in the same boat, I have to be on the computer to take a look. It was always sluggish but at least it worked up untill now.
ok, so it has to be the forum then.
i cant say mine was ever sluggish, i just didnt like it. the back button always took me home instead of to the last place i was at. pictures were hard to view, as were movies. it was all interface issues using mobil. the old forum i had no issues with on my phone. hopefully it gets worked out soon
I have an HTC Droid Inspire 4G; I guess the name is supposed to inspire its owner to pay more fees!~ anyway I have no problem viewing OGRR responses and then getting to the full thread on this android phone.
4G is a leap above 3G when you can get it.
i run the samsung galaxy s 4g. i had no issues until the last 2 days it stopped working.
i dont think it is an issue with the type of device that is being used...it appears to be an issue with the mobile version of the forums...it worked fine on my ipod until a couple days ago same symptoms as others are having....sure would be nice to get it fixed!!
My phone experiences the same problems occasionally, although an even bigger beef is the sluggish, jumpy scrolling. Long threads on the mobile version of the site force you to scroll through the entire thing to get to the latest posts. With the scrolling as buggy as it is, this can take as long as two whole minutes of vigorously swiping at your screen. And if you happen to accidentally touch a photo during this process, you have to start all over.
How do you view the full web version? Will gladly do that instead.
