Re: Logging In At each Visit?

I'll tell you what I do want to see, and that is being able to log on to the giffgaff forum using a mobile phone. I'm having to switch my laptop on just to reply to maybe one posting.

 

I can actually log on but for some reason the format isn't right especially if I use an external browser such as Opera Mini 4.2.

Re: Logging In At each Visit?

not greatto say the least - and it's the iphone which is fully web compliant and obtained a really good score on the acid3 test - weird

Re: Logging In At each Visit?

When the Giffgaff forums started, before the network went live, I was able to login to the forums on my mobile, create new threads, add posts to existing threads, etc. Then one day early in November 2009, I was able to login, but could not start new theads, or reply to current ones. Now I can't even see the threads, much less reply to them Sometimes I can see the names of the people involved in the threads, but not the actual threads, and what is said. I have no idea why this has happened, but I find it very inconvenient. It seems bizarre to me that a mobile phone company has a forum site about mobile phones, that cannot be accessed from a mobile phone. I have various phones, some of which are locked to 3 network, others are unlocked, plus I have one vanilla handset. On all of the phones, I cannot access the forums via the phone, which suggests it is not specific to a handset manufacturer, operating system, or a particular network, but something to do with the way the forum site is designed and rendered at Giffgaff's end. Can someone from inside Giffgaff enlighten me and other forum members as to why these issues exists, and whether a remedy is being worked on?

Re: Logging In At each Visit?

Theres a design fault somewhere that makes it impossible for it to be viewed, post and edit via mobile. I'm not sure if any giffgaff staff are aware of this.

 

I'm surprised that theres no mobile friendly version that has been specially designed to work on a mobile phone.

I think they are. Vincent has replied on a different thread about this, last time a few hours ago

Meanwhile, for some e.g Symbian phones, people might try the Ucweb 6.3 browser mentioned a couple of times by ragnorak

Re: Logging In At each Visit?

Yeah, on my personal laptop (FF, Vista) I haven't been logged out. On my work laptop (IE6, XP) I get logged out after about 15 mins.

Re: Logging In At each Visit?

is anyone still having trouble with this? im on FF-XP and it logs out after about an hour of inactivity. i was wondering if anyone up high has decided to give us the option to stay logged in.

 

i think that if youre stupid enough to leave your facebook on in the apple store you deserve to get messed with a LITTLE. It happens to everyone who didnt quite make it to the logout button.

RE: giff gaff security - you can only top up your phone with your own card and you cant retrieve all the details from your account page anyway so the worst that'll happen is youll suddenly realise youve got a million quid credit.. right?
