Viewing the Forum on your Phone Vs. Desktop Computer

[MTRuth]

Lyn just pointed out to me that there was a difference in how the forum loads on your phone and on a desk top computer. Not everything loads on the phone unless you have changed the settings on your phone to have the forum load as a desktop site.

To change your phone settings, there are three small grey dots in a vertical row on the right hand side on the same line where you enter the URL address. Click on the three dots and a drop down list will appear. Click on the option Desktop Site and it will change the way the forum loads on your phone. Then you can expand it as you normally would on your phone on the touch screen to see everything better. Hope that helps if you're trying to view the forum on your phone.

Ruth you are such a technophile....I’m prehistoric when it comes to my smart phone. So much so the kids just laugh at me!

Not really, just by necessity do I learn these things

My grand-daughter rolls her eyes when she sees me staring blankly at my smart phone as I try to work out which button to press. I used an emoji in a text I sent to her last week. She replied "You used an emoji! I'm so proud of you!"

I only know how to use about 5% of what my smart phone is capable of - but that's enough for me.

on my iPhone, in safari, you have to go to the bottom and it says desktop. Click that to see it the same as on your computer.

I am getting better at using the capabilities of my phone. It was texting my daughter that got me started. she had a pay as you go phone and you get a lot more texts than phone time so that's what we did. Now I use it to sell my things at shows.

I’m ok with the phone. Probably use 70%. I used to be a tech wiz, now ever time I open my computer I end up spending the day trying to work out some bug. It’s so frustrating. So most of the time, I use the phone or iPad if I can. Technology just moves like lightening, so hard to keep up these days.
