    I've got a couple issues with this site when I'm using my phone (Galaxy S5).

    The most annoying issue is it won't let me insert emoticons in the text, no matter what I do it always places the emoticon at the beginning of the post. I have to insert the emoticon first and then type behind it if I want it anywhere but at the beginning. That makes things pretty frustrating, especially when trying to reply to another post.

    The other issue is it randomly stops letting me connect to the site. I get a "connection lost" error. Clearing the cache and restarting the phone doesn't help. It just randomly works and then doesn't and then does. I'm pretty sure it's phone related because the site is almost never down when I access it from my PC.

    Does anybody else have these issues? If so, how did you fix it?

    I almost exclusively browse the forums via my phone. Haven't had any of those problems. I was using a droid maxx, now I'm on a Note 4.

    The latest Dolphin update has been causing the forum to load a bit weird, it's trying to turn it into a mobile version which shouldn't be happening. I get a new phone tomorrow so I'll deal with it once I know what that phone does.

    I didn't have any issues with my old iPhone 4, and the new S5 worked fine at first too but then after the last site update it started acting up. I'm thinking maybe if I can force it into desktop mode then I might be ok, but I can't figure out how to do that. It always wants to load the mobile version.

    Im using a galaxy s4 and have no issues with the site. And many of my posts are from phone. Most if not all the ones where there are alot of spelling mistakes. Not this one fortunately even though i am on my phone. Virtual keyboards suck.

    But does it work while you poop? That is the ultimate test.
