So it's exactly as the title states, i seem to be unable to quote posts on my phone using Firefox for Android and the desktop theme. Essentially all it is that happens is quote and multiquote don't seem to work/ do anything.

It appears editing also does not work for me. How troublesome. I used the default browser that came on my phone, but it forces mobile themes with no option to use desktop themes.

Same here. I can't change my theme while using my phone (Windows Phone 7) so lots of features are unavailable.

i find it kind of silly that we still have to have mobile layouts when many phones nowadays support desktop resolutions.

On android phones, request desktop site and reload. I'm replying on my phone on the normal skin that way. I think I'm just going to remove the mobile version until invision gets it working better though.

On WP7, clicking on the change theme button just acts like a "jump to top" button. Doesn't seem to activate anything aside from that.

I am using the desktop theme on Android with firefox browser. the Default browser would not let me change the theme to the desktop version.

Yeah, the new changes IPB made to it with 3.4.3 screwed a lot up. I'm going to try to update to the newest version, and if that doesn't fix it, I'll remove the whole thing.

Same problem here. I'm stuck on Mobile. Even when I tick the option to display a desktop site in my browser, I still get the damn mobile version :(

I dont know if the problem was evet resolved for everyone, but i still cant quote or multi-quote. The normal post button doesn't work, i have to go through the 'more reply options" button. This is on android. latest version, Galaxy S3 newest firefox version, requested (and got) the desktop version.

Just want to report that I'm still having this problem.

 

On mobile (Android 4.4.2, Samsung Galaxy S3)

 

Firefox for Android, newest version.

 

I seem to still have the following issues:

 

When on the front page of the forum on mobile the status updates feed loads after everything else, and disappears about a second and a half after loading. if I want to see statuses I have to go to individual profiles.

Cannot quote posts or multi-quote.

Direct reply buttons do not work.

 

 

 

This is how I post on mobile so far.

  1. Start typing in quick reply
  2. press "more reply options"
  3. lose the game
  4. now press "add reply"

As you can see, posting on mobile is a pretty convoluted mess for me. I have re-installed Firefox twice.

Same issues on the default android web browser.

I'm planning on doing a firmware change on my phone on my next day off, so we'll see if that makes any differences.

Let me know if the firmware upgrade changes anything. I haven't been able to replicated the issue, but I know the forum software is still a little glitchy on mobile.
