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…

as a check Fido, have you tried this site with the s3?

Looks the same here with the s3, on it now. No reply to post button. Had to request desktop mode to enter this.

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!

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.

I whipped up another theme using Artister V4 and in reactive mode sp does not show the “mark all as read” error. But turning the reactive off presents the error again.

I don’t like reactive because of how it staggers the sidebars. Looks mickey mouse. Theme is not active now, lots of mods needed. I’ll fiddle with it again tomorrow.

we will be here…

I am somewhat unsure what this ‘mark all read’ issue is.

On a normal desktop theme this is a button. On the Unified theme running on a mobile device then it is not a button but should be a part of the action menu options – i.e., the dropdown list that on the phone expands to be a menu list.

Have you made any changes to the templates or code to make it appear as a button? Or am I missing something? The screenshots are not totally clear…

Mornin Steve, Everything on the forum is stock and up to date. I finally figured out how the action menu thing worked, just on my S3 i was looking for a submit or go button because after selecting an action nothing happened, i was looking for a submit button. The same in my WordPress admin area (wp up to date). Was trying to configure my sp mobile theme on the S3 but after selecting an action nothing happened. Might be something in the S3 that WordPress don’t like.

One thing i just thought of – I’m running the site through CloudFlair.com don’t see why that would make a difference.

Question about reactive themes in general, Is it possible to use reactive mode and collapse any sidebar widgets? If they displayed like any menu items it would be ok, but i have widgets than stagger down the page and look like hell. For that reason i always turn reactive off when creating a Art V4 theme.

the sidebar will be the purview of the wp responsive theme…  our responsive theme only handles the forum stuff…  as you are seeing, our responsive theme only works with wp responsive themes that work well..  we do not do anything for the rest of the site or page that is non forum…

I have not had any of these problems with my Galaxy S3 – works fine… and also works fine with the mobile emulator in that mode too… of course, the latter is just an emulator…  My S3 is actually my wife’s S3 that I test with and dont have access to it at the moment…  this could still come down to the wp theme not being responsive…

have you tried switching to the latest wp default theme and seeing if things improved?
