Hi y'all.. Guess i didn't have the mobile theme installed.. Duuuuu!

Anyway i downloaded the V1 mobile theme and installed it. In my Samsung Galaxy S3 there are no login or other buttons. There is a small actions drop down selection, but selecting login does nothing, and no button to click either. Sorry for the crappy photo best the Tab2 camera could do.

This is the view from a Samsung Galaxy Tab2 which all buttons are visible. Both browsers are Firefox Beta.

I'm just getting into mobile themes so I'm a real newbie in this area.

It's installed over here if anyone wants to take a look.

Any suggestions? Thanks!

This shot is with Google Chrome for Android on the Samsung GS3. It's also prompting an non logged in visitor to mark all messages read.

You can actually do screenshots with the Galaxy bit I have forgotten how now I do not use one.

Your problem is almost certainly javascript related but I am not sure how to determine what exactly. It is also quite hard to negotiate as your WordPress theme is not mobile responsive which really is a requirement for Unified to work correctly.

I would be interested to know how this site operates when you view it using your device(s) using the same browser. That way we may find out if it is the script engine of the browser in use that is giving problems as this site does behave.

Hey, Andy..

The theme is designed in Artisteer V3. I did use Art V4 and update it, but WP didn't like it for some reason.

It displays perfect in the Tab2, something about the GS3 it don't like. I have a reg key left for WpTouch Pro 2 Mobile theme and might try that for the site.

unified displays fine for me on s3 and s4...  so guessing it might be wp theme related as discussed...

On the Tab2 now and it looks the same as the desktop mode. Maybe this tablet is being seen by simplepress as a desktop. Tried requesting desktop mode and it looks identical. Maybe im crazy or something.

.is the mobile theme supposed have buttons like the desktop?

for us, tablet = desktop theme...   plenty of real estate of normal display...  but users have an option for alternate theme if they prefer...

what os on s3?  is it up to date?

and btw, the add new post to this topic button is a plus sign...

OK, I guess it's displaying normal on the S3. Going to create a responsive theme in Artisteer 4 and see if that cures the mark all messages as read error when entering the forums.

Thanks once again for all your help! wink

Please do come on back with any info you have. A problem associated with creating this kind of theme is that you can only test it on a limited number of devices and we know from experience that many older devices - even iPad 2 - can have older Script engines that do not work quite properly. The pace of change is so fast and furious it can be hard to keep up with it!

So we do need to hear about user experience and, if problems, see if qe can fix them up.
