MacDaddy Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 When I try to sign in to Basschat on my Kindle, the sign in link takes me to a page with a list of members. Is this a Kindle problem or can Basschat resolve? ta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charic Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 I think the site is a little too advanced for the kindle browser. I've never managed it myself either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charic Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Yeah exactly the same for me. I find the phone far more effective Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiOgon Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Nothing to do with Kindle - but I think there's something strange about the members list, every time I've used Personal Message, if I then click on the 'View New Content' button it always takes me to the Members List, latest members, until I click View New Content a second time. That's on my PC, Chrome, Windows XP & Laptop with Vista. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charic Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I think there's a "basic" version of the site which may work better.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 'View new content' button shows you the new content for whichever of the tabs you're in at the time. Personal messages are (rightly or wrongly) part of the 'Members' tab, so when you press the 'View new content' button when you're in PMs, it shows you new member activity. Similarly, if you press it in 'Calendar', you'll see new calendar activity. I'm just clarifying how it's designed to work - I'm not saying I like it.

KiOgon Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Cheerz WOT - I can see that now! thanks for explaining When in PMs the Members tag is highlighted as you say, I've never noticed that before, but when I press View New Content from PMs & get the Members list, the Members tag is not highlighted so next press & it reverts to Forums it seems.

WalMan Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 That would explain my problem trying to use my Kindle to browse yesterday then. Thought it might be easier than the minute Blackberry screen that is always a bit of a trial to login with anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamster Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I don't think the forum software providers are going to make it more Kindle friendly, but I think the Kindle browser will get better as it's developed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Sausage Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Are we talking Normal Kindle or the Kindle Fire's. Cos I'm thinkin of getting the latter but won't if it doesn't work on here properly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamPodmore Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Have all you pople having issues on the Kindle (I'm assuming Kindle Fire here, so if not, ignore this) tried it on a different web browser, such as Firefox for Android?

MacDaddy Posted December 23, 2012 Author Share Posted December 23, 2012 i have a kindle keyboard 3G can't comment on the Fire but would be interested to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I am finding it so easy to touch the wrong button on the screen of the Kindle. WHen links are close together as they care on BC, it is easy to find yourself going places you hadn't indended (if I open the bloody tc electronics ad again, it's going out the 'kin window) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
