Guest Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 I'll try and have a look at this tomorrow on some of the Samsung devices in our office. It maybe part of the stuff that's fixed for the next update Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loco Rojo Posted September 20, 2015 Author Share Posted September 20, 2015 Hi Tom, thanks for the reply (and everyone else too). I did sign out and sign back in on my phone but still couldn't reply to anyone (I write this from my laptop). Let me know how it goes tomorrow if you get time time to look in to it (appreciate you probably have a million other things to do) and let me know if it's something i'm doing wrong.

RedM Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Just testing from my Samsung phone, seems to work. In fact better experience than from my ipad where I seem to have to double tap to start typing a reply. And I also have had a few replies that I have typed disappear on hitting the submit button.

Aizoon Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Bloody nightmare on an iPhone. I was trying to keep in touch at Lord's yesterday, but gave up in the end. It tries to work in real time, keystroke by keystroke, which is simply impossible on an iPhone or tablet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loco Rojo Posted September 20, 2015 Author Share Posted September 20, 2015 Well I figured out a way to bring the keypad up. I have to click on the Bold, Italic or Underline symbol at the top of the reply box which forces the keyboard to appear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Septic Peg Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 I'm on an s6 edge right now and my keypad popped up ok. Are you using the Samsung default keyboard? Are all your software updates complete and up to date? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loco Rojo Posted September 21, 2015 Author Share Posted September 21, 2015 Hi, ST. Just checked and yup, it uses the default keypad and everything's up to date. very strange. oh well, I have a way round it. Cheers for checking your Edge though. Possibly something i've done then.

Guest Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Part of the problem is that there is different android versions, running on different customised manufacturers versions, running stock/non stock webbrowsers. Chuck in different versions of iPhones running different versions of iOS and its even more of a minefield. For now I'm just going to pause till this new build with an updated editor is included and see what's what after that.I think someone else mentioned the RSS feed - that should be fixed now and the automated twitter (https://twitter.com/otib_co_uk) and facebook feeds (https://www.facebook.com/OneTeamInBristolForum) are running again although the FB one seems to be having some issues identifying the topic name.Next plan of action is to update some hardware on Friday. This will, unfortunately, take the site down for a couple of hours but I think the benifits will be worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I did have a sticky keypad that took hours to come up on my old s4. Deleted some apps and ran a full antivirus scan and it sorted it. I use AVG free which you can find on Google play. Might be worth a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spudski Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I generally use a netbook when posting on here... I gave up using my phone since the 'upgrade'...it's absolutely useless on a phone.When cutting and pasting, on either format, the edit seems to go mental. This whole paragraph arrow mullarky seems to be causing the problem...plus when you want to highlight something and delete it from a post, it won't let you. You have to use the backspace button to remove each individual letter.It's got to a point, where I give up and don't post it.What is noticeable...is there seems to be a lot less people posting since the upgrade.

KingtonRed Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 click on the icon to the left of the topic title. You must be fed up of answering this question by now! Is there any chance of bringing back the previous behaviour? I noticed from the homepage of the forum clicking a thread title will take you to last viewed, but within chat forum its different behaviour, which makes it more confusing. One weird little thing happening for me - if I'm on the homepage it looks like I'm not logged in, and entering name/password doesn't change anything. Once I click on an inner forum page it then shows my username. Not a big problem obviously, just mentioning in passing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port Said Red Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I have tried two free systems, AVG and AVAST, but am not sure which one is better.Does anybody with more computer knowledge than me have any opinion? I don't have a high level of knowledge of Computers other than high usage. I have used both these freebies too and I would say that AVG is less "nannyish" and doesn't intervene as much. I have noticed with the latest AVG release that it keeps suggesting you are going lose it unless you pay for it, throughout the 30 day trial but when it expires you get the option of keeping the free cover which is more than sufficient for a user like me as I don't go off into the dark recesses of the net.
