Question

seems to have worked

Cool

That other site use to have a button on i believe it was the home page that let you set the format on the site to mobile. I'm presently on my Kindle because I have system restore going on the laptop (long story). When on the "K" you can't see the last post on the thread which is always to the right.


So when you try to enter a thread you always end up at the beginning of the thread. Page 1 so to speak.

Am missing something?

Site as of now pretty much works the same on comp or mobile

Nevermind - I just saw it instead of the newest post appearing to the right of the thread it's directly below it. Habit had me looking to the right. Thanks for all of your non replies.

Not here it doesn't - at not least not on a kindle. Last post is under the thread title not to the right of it.

Its prolly a kindle thing on my phone or tablet its fine

also - the forum button at the top of the page doesn't take you antwhere. It's like a dead button. I have to click on the Nyangler button next to it which takes you back to the home page - scroll down to the bottom of the page and use that forum button to get to the forum pages.

did - lost internet - went to check it - accidently hit airplane mode but it wouldn't come out of it

However - discovered the site looks & operates entirely different on a Kindle. It was surreal...........

Yes indeed, your Kindle Paperwhite sports a built-in browser that you can use to access the Internet. The browser isn’t full-featured like the one you surf with on your computer, but it is a usable, albeit stripped-down, browser that you can take advantage of when you’re out somewhere with your Kindle Paperwhite and need to get online in a hurry.

ROTFFLMFAO!!! Someone will never earn a pocket protector...

I'll concede that being unaware of the fact that a Kindle has a bastardized Android OS that Amazon altered so many apps like Gmail have to be forced in through a back door.

However doing a system restore because the laptop was in Airplane mode is funny. Lord knows I've had my share of stupid computer tricks, but I have 2 rules I follow.

1. If I'm going to embark on a computer version of "Here, hold my beer!", I do a full system backup, not a restore point. There have been a few times I've needed it.
   
   
2. When I have a "stupid computer trick" moment like Airplane Mode, and there have been more than a few, I certainly wouldn't share it with anyone!! I'm afraid I may be stripped of my Master Geek ranking!!

not the Kindle reader - Kindle Fire - full feature - so suck my socks fellas


when I used it on that "other site" - there was a button on the home page that you could click & it reformatted the site to mimic what I saw on my laptop

Keep digging Larry, my Kindle, which I altered to load Gmail, United Airlines app, Video Player for watching TV on Southwest Airline flight, Android App Store, etc., is a Fire too. Matters not, all internet enabled Kindles have some version of that Amazon-bastardized Android OS.

The NE button was just porting you into side through a browser. You could have done the same by just opening a browser, yeah I forced Chrome onto my Kindle, and opening NYA. I never use the Kindle browser, don't even know what it's called.

browser is called Silk - don't use the Kindle that much - just when it's inconvenient to drag the laptop along - like at the auto dealers Service Centers, etc.

As I do also, car service, Dr's office, etc. A Kindle is a different platform and one has to adjust accordingly. I can't think of a single website that looks the same in all the different internet browsers, on all the different smartphone OS, nor on all the different tablets. Need to go with the flow and make browsing/usage adjustments accoringly, "Crap I can't stand how Joe's Bar and Grill looks on my Fire, let me grab my laptop".
