Problem accessing Forum with my mobile

[Webber2011]

Hey there guys, the last several days, whenever I try to access the forum on my mobile it says it's not available and may have changed web address.

I haven't seen anybody else bring the topic up, so I'm wondering what's going on ?

This is what I get every time I try to open the forum

I've tried googling F1Technical to see if the link I have saved to my phone has somehow been messed up, but to no avail

Any ideas peoples ?

First time I hear about this.
Problems probably started since our full switch to https, but I cannot reproduce this.

Did you try to use another browser on your mobile? Or reset browser cache / cookies?

One of the things I've noticed is that the rating system doesn't work on mobile either. when you click "recommend" or "rate down" nothing happens.

Since recently?

it's been like that for a year or more i think.

fyi, i think i might have accidentally reported your post (fat fingers).

I had not able to connect via Tapatalk on iPhone/iPad for the last week or so at least, but it is working now, FYI.

Hey there Steven, thanks for the reply mate.

Yeah I did reset the browser/cache and all a few days ago, but I just kept getting the same.
Anyhow mate,
It seems to be working fine now though.


I have a pretty new phone, but a cheap one, an OPPO
It updated overnight as well, so maybe something was going on with my browser that needed fixing ?

Anyhow, thanks for all the replies.

P.S. I can't recommend or downvote while using my mobile either never have, but I don't think it really matters.
Probably saves people from making rash decisions

Confirmed on my Android with Chrome: not working.
When emulating a mobile device with touch in regular Chrome, things work, so this will be a PITA

O god that will be super painful to fix.

Hey there Steven

When I try to access with the default browser on my android I still get the same thing, but if I use chrome there's no problem

I'm no expert, I know very little about how you would go about fixing something like this

But maybe this info will help you guys sort it ?

Cheers

I understand that as of Android 5, Chrome is the default browser. I think there is little to no maintenance being done anymore on the Android Browser, so actually I don't know how important it really is if it's only in that browser.

However, on my phone, it didn't work with Chrome either...

So I just checked my phone.

It's telling me the chrome version is 62.0.3202.84, I have no idea if that's the latest ?

To be honest, that number looks more like the Honda's newest engine update

Hey there to anyone that's listening.

One thing that has come up in this thread is that you can't upvote from mobiles.

I found a few comments in the 2021 engine regs topic that I really thought were worthy of a thumbs up today on my way home from work, but it alas it still doesn't seem to function

Not a huge issue, but it still seems impossible.

Can that be fixed easily ? ? ?

I got an android xperia z5 running latest android nougat
and I don't have any problems at all with default browser or directly from chrome app
also I can upvote and downvote posts on the forum
Hope this info helps. Keep up the good work.

OK mate cool, thanks for the info.
I'll check my phone again for updates, maybe that's all it is ?
