UPDATE - Attn mobile users - Help me make this site better!

So that we can provide faster and better support, this forum (the "Public Suggestion Box") has been retired. Instead, please send any suggestions you have to us using the official website contact form.

This allows us to streamline our support system so that we can get to your message much faster. Instead of our support staff having to check three different places (support forum, suggestion box, and contact form messages), they know can respond to all message through one method, with that one method being the official website contact form.

I work off of a Samsung Galaxy S3 Android phone and a Samsung Note also off of Android, the only issue I really have is that when I want to reply, the screen doesn't always stay on the message box, it goes back to the top of the screen and I have to keep scrolling back down so I can keep typing. I would think a mobile address would be the easiest fix to making accessing from a mobile phone or tablet easier.

I usually use the full.
I am not sure I fully understand the issue you are having. On my phone, the message box on the full editor is almost fully visible even when scrolled all the way to the top of the page. If it is not too much trouble, can you try to explain to me in detail what happens when you try to post a reply and you experience issue of having to keep scrolling down?

Do you have any feedback about your experience using the site on that device?

I will try to send a screenshot of the problem I am having with the kindle log on. I don't think I am the only one? Swalka1991 explained the problem much better than I did (sorry my phone won't let me quote a previous measage) in that we can get to the webpage but not the forums because we can't log in, there is simply no option or fill in boxes.
Adventure...one part stupidty plus two parts perseverence....yeah, that's me!

Latest Review: "Deadly Secrets" by Robert Boris Riskin

Post by sybil1reader »

I also use a Kindle and I have not been able to get to the bookclub for about a month now. This is the message that I get: Gone The requested / source is no longer available on this server and there is no forwarding address. Please remove all references to this resource. Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle thi request. I had the website in my favorites so I re-entered it and got the same message. Strangely when I get an email saying that my review page has been updated I can get to my review page, but when I try to navigate from there I get the above message again. Hope this helps. I miss using my Kindle for the club!

My iPad doesn't really give me an option to use a 'mobile website', it just takes me to the usual website without any mobile perks or features.

I use a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1and I have no problems. There is one thing I suggest is keep the option open to go either use this template or the mobile template.

I have always accessed this site on my iPad and I've never had any problems. I've never tried from my iPhone.

Although I usually use me laptop or PC to access the site, I tried it with my Nexus 7/android tablet. Navigation was easy. I was able to access Amazon quickly for purchase. The only thing I'd like to have is an app button for easier initial access.

I don't typically look up forum sites on my iPhone, so I am afraid I can't speak on that. But I do have some other questions/concerns I wish to ask about on a forum topic, so I was wondering where I should direct my general website questions as they're regarding ease of use on the site just not in relation to the use of mobile devices.
The joys of literature transcend the evils of the world. I believe in its miraculious baptism and emotional power of the words trickling down the page. To me, there is no higher artform...

This is also my problem. I have an Apple iOS iPhone

The only thing that bothers me from my mobile is that when I am in a forum and want to reply, if I click "quick reply" it brings me all the way to the top of the page and I have to scroll down to find my reply box. Thats the only thing I have noticed so far, and its not broken, its just a minor irritation.
