Forum using (mobile) Firefox browser

I can’t reproduce your issue. See my “abandon”-message:

Edit: You know what’s your problem? You have “Desktop-site” checked in Fennec’s menu…

You know what’s your problem? You have “Desktop-site” checked in Fennec’s menu…

Nope. But whether I have it checked or unchecked doesn’t make a difference in that regard.
I just disabled all addons and tried again: no difference. But strangely after I disabled the addons and quit Fennec the keyboard showed up.
I also disabled all Xposed modules, just in case. Still no difference.
I’m using Fennec 40.0, but I’m pretty sure I had these problems before

Then press the hamburger icon and choose the equivalent of “desktop view”.

I can see from your screen shot, that you’re in desktop mode!

[paulakreuzer]

Ah you’re right! Much better.
Apparently there are 3 modes:

Fennec’s Desktop mode

Fennec: mobile but Hamburger: desktop

Fully mobile.

So what’s the current status/issue? @paulakreuzer @Stefan

This one seems solved with the latest Discourse version:

I cannot view posts on mobile when logged in

Hi all! I have an issue, which makes it impossible for me to be as active on the forum as previously. When I access the forum on the FP itself, I cannot view posts (I only get a blank page, even without the navigation bar on top). everything else can be viewed this happens in both Firefox for Android and the Stock Browser it is the same on 3G and Wifi I believe this started after the Discourse upgrade to 1.2.0beta3 when logged out, threads can be viewed. I strongly think this is related to …

As a moderator however I cannot move posts, when I am on the forum using Fennec F-Droid (mobile Firefox). The issue is negligible though, since it affects only moderators.

Alreade since the beginning of this nice new forum, I am not able to relyable COMPOSE any post at my FP1/Firefox (indeed Aurora channel), since the slow reacting cursor drives me crazy.
Having the FP1 in horizontol orientation I can’t even see what I am typing…

Unfortunately it is the same now witht the FP2/Firefox (Aurora channel).
At Desktop-PCs with Firefox I have these problems not!

And I guess it is intended behaviour, that in mobile versions there all formatting buttons are not available? Makes it rather useless in my opinion…

Cheers, Robert

A solution to this would be a hardware keyboard…

Maybe this helps: Markdown Cheatsheet (markdown is the formatting language used in Discourse).

There is also this thread:

Quote and smiling in the mobile version of the forum

I often (mostly all the time) use a mobile device (Jolla phone, waiting for FP2) to surf the forum, so I ask why in the mobile version there aren’t the function to quote a message and to insert a smiling. Can you improve this aspect for all the people that use mainly the mobile version? thanks

Note: Insert emojis works in the latest Discourse version, if you click on the smiley-button. The drop-down, when you start typing a colon, does not work however (as I stated here).
