Dear MN HQ, why can't I start threads while using the mobile site?

I have an android, hence not using an App.

It has probably saved me from several ill-thought-out threads, but still it is frustrating!

I write them all up, then click the 'create conversation' button, and hey presto... nothing happens. Sigh.

Sorry, I've just prodded tech and hope to have a response soon

Hi folks, sorry for the delay in getting to this. Is this only affecting Opera on android as far as you can tell? Is Chrome for Android working OK?

Smile (and anyone else affected) could you do us a favour and go to our tech diagnostic page on the device that's not working, then click "Send report." This will tell us exactly what version of what browser you are using and we can try reproduce the problem here.

Oh yes, it doesn't work on mobile (facepalm.) Give us a few minutes. Will post again.

Hi, If you try that link again now it should work. Sorry about that.

Hi, We need to get hold of an android device and a copy of the relevant version of Opera to see what's going on. I don't have an android phone, but I can borrow one. We haven't forgotten about it...

Hi, One of my esteemed colleagues has helped me out with a phone loan.... can you try again now and see what happens? Ta.

Tech · 12/04/2012 21:27

To be more accurate, she's taken time out of her evening to test something with her android phone and Opera. What a marvel. Anyway, fingers crossed it's fixed it.

Whaddaya want, blood? Actually looking at it now in pondering mode, it does look a bit rubbish - I don't know why it squeezes the smiley hints next to the message box and makes everything squished up and altogether Just Not Right. I'll have a look at it today.

Tech · 13/04/2012 16:18

No, I mean when you are trying to start a thread, the smiley hints are over to the right of the text box, rather than below. That means the phone has to squeeze up the display a lot more than is really necessary, and so the input box ends up tiny. We could improve on that I think.

The whaddaya want comment was in response to the crossed out bit in ItsAllGoingToBeFine's last post. It was a bit of faux annoyance at her having the temerity to suggest that maybe things should work correctly. (Must remind self never to joke online...)
