the Weather site on Android...
« on: March 22, 2012, 06:03:14 PM »
Well, I can say that this site doesn't work too well on Android! 

Neoither the Browser that comes with Android or the Android version of firefoc hastrble working with this site.  the site comes up okay but you can't type in the shout box nor can you easily navigate the various sections.  You try and touch any ofne of the sections and you end up somewhere else.

Seems to be only this site, for some reason. Have had no trouble with any other site!

Try using tapatalk. Far more mobile friendly. Use the search function within tapatalk to find us

Well, all I can say is that the inability of the site to work on an Android Tablet (Galaxy 10.1) is preventing Babs from coming on here!

Could be difficult as I dont have a credit card to buy Tapatalk, so do they accept coins through the post?  hahaha

However I did a bit of research and see that Opera Mini 5 beta might work just as well, lets hope so otherwise I will be stuck on my PC which sitting at is very difficult due to bad backand hip problems

It is odd that a number of browsers can't render the site very well.

Looks like opera is doing okay though. seems to do the job okay.

Tried accessing the site on my "fancy" ideos U8150 $149 android 2.2 phone. I'll have to say that the experience wasn't plesant but it was functional. I could access the boards on the forum and even managed a post on the shoutbox. I don't have a tablet thingy but it worked okay on that version. As far as I know the OS is stock standard android - which is the only reason why a phone of this power will actually run android!

I'm not sure why it wouldn't work on your tablet, sorry
