What is the Arc Client?
Install Arc

Vanilla and "smart" phones

Is it my imagination, or is the new forum engine not compatible with 'smart" phone users? I Can only make comments and replies from my desktop.

    They appear to be working on such things. While I haven't had a problem posting from my phone (like I am right now...), I have had troubles with quotes on the phone until just recently. Before, a quote looked like this:

    >warhammer said:
    >blah blah blah

    ... but now, it looks like it should.

    It's not. The only way I got around it is that I happened to have a paid browser app on my phone (Atomic Web Browser, believe it's $1.99 in the App Store), because I pretty much hate ALL mobile websites and that app will force even the most stubborn ones to desktop mode. I just don't want to work with mobile sites, here, or anywhere, period. I wish I knew of a free solution, but I'm afraid I don't, because I don't seem to be able to force it into desktop mode with regular iOS Safari.

    And my tablet is Win 8.1, so it doesn't give me that trouble either.

    Even with Atomic Web Browser, it took multiple tries to get the forum to accept it after I told it what browser I wanted it to pretend it was (or alternately, my phone to dump its cookie/cache), but once I finally did, it seems to be sticking.
