Not sure what "lose the mobile website" means - the page displayed for the URL reverts back to the full site?

Recently, my Android phone (default browser) doesn't load the mobile site on the first try sometimes, or maybe more accurately, it takes a while (15 seconds plus) to display anything. I don't think it's the phone or connection as another mobile website (a notorious deal site) loads instantly.

Not loading mobile site for me again. Happened a while back.

Haven't stopped working for me on Opera.

Have you bookmarked the mobile URL?

I've always bookmarked the mobile link, but every now and then (once every 6-10 months), it stops working and I have to find the link again on Page 1

I think it's more likely your phone deleted the cookie.

Cheapy just referred to a mobile URL. Why does the page displayed depend on a cookie, if there's a dedicated URL?

Standard vBulletin functionality, style choices work through cookies.

So if I have the mobile link bookmarked, and somehow the cookie gets deleted, it won't display the mobile site anymore, even if it's already bookmarked? Doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

If you have the link bookmarked, going to it should take you to the mobile site. The cookie is there to automatically set the style on subsequent visits.

The last day or two (at least) I noticed on my Android phone that I was no longer logged into CAG (mobile site).

I click the login button on the mobile site home page and get an error:

"You do not have permission to perform the action. Please refresh the page and login before trying again."
Beneath this it shows "username" and "password" but they are grayed out.

Refreshed the page, cleared my browser cache, power cycled my phone - no change.

Anybody else getting this?

Any suggestions from the CAG IT wizard?

It's a shame CAG doesn't have a decent mobile app. Hell, take the Android Cnetral app I use for example. It's based on tapatalk and works great. Why the same can't be done here I don't know. Whoever they hired to write the app did a fast job of it too.

I should update this. I actually could login to CAG on my Android phone. I didn't realize that the grayed-out "username" and "password" were actually the fields themselves, and not field labels. Once I replaced them with my actual username and password, I was able to login.

So 2 things (well, 3, really):

1. Don't tell the user they don't have permission to perform an action when all they're trying to do is login - and since you're letting them login, they obviously do have permission.
2. Use a more standard UI for the login screen that displays the field labels in normal text to the left of the field boxes, not grayed-out inside the field boxes.
3. I don't know why I got logged out in the first place - or for that matter, why CAG occasionally resets from the mobile site to the full site, although I use the same shortcut link all the time. It could be something I'm doing, but I doubt it.

On windows lumia 900 when I use the mobile link nothing shows up to reply to posts.

This is still an issue on Windows Phones. The mobile site is broken. Any chance for a fix?

FYI the 'jump to page' option at the bottom of mobile pages is not currently working. No matter what page number you select, it refreshes the page without the page parameter in the URL.

I would like to see trader ratings in Tapatalk. Not sure if it needs to be implemented on CAG's end or Tapatalk's.

Can't even access mobile site anymore on my iPhone. It used to work fine, but hasn't been working the last few days

Edit: Saw a link link to the mobile site, clicked it and its working fine again. Don't know why my old bookmark messed up. Oh well, got a new working one.
