iPhone - Full Site Mode

[Danny]

Anyone else having problems viewing the forum in "full site" mode using an iPhone?

It use to work flawlessly for me but over the past several weeks it displays two very large buttons "Open in App" and "Install" (blocking the regular TSP Talk tabs) something about V Bulletin... "Open App" fails, and "install app" also fails, so then I have to scroll down to the very bottom to the "log in" link (does not remember that I am already logged in) login and then select "full Site". When the full site opens the large "Open in App" and "Install" buttons are still there but I can click the "forums" button that is partially showing and then I can get to the full site. An hour later I have to do it all over again because it logs me out.

Any ideas?

I have an iphone and I only get that problem when I click on one of the sublinks. Just google tsp talk and click on the big bold TSP Talk - Thrift Savings Plan link not the TSP Tracker or TSP funds, etc.

You might consider downloading the TapaTalk Application. It works much better.

If you scroll down to the bottom of vBulletin and tap 'full site' it should work. I used to log in with Safari...when I had an iPhone.

I killed mine a few weeks ago. I was going to work and placed my cup of coffee in the puka next to me, emptied out my pocket with my pens and phone and placed them into the other puka....
so I thought.

Ten minutes later I picked up my coffee cup to take a sip and quess what was in it? YEP! DOH!!!! It was another 30 minute drive to town before I could by a bag of rice and try to salvage the damage. Did'unt work. So, until my contract is up in June I'm using a not so smart phone which seems appropriate for a not so smart user.:notrust:

I should have used my TSP mug that morning.

Thanks all, before something changed, I would log into the full site, check the box "keep me logged in", go to the forms tab, (or autotracker), select it and view the full site page and then save the page to my home screen. Then everytime I clicked on that TSP Talk icon it would take me there directly.
Now I cant do that any more. The icon takes me to vBulletin and askes me to "go to app" which now takes me to TapaTalk or I can scroll down to the bottom and log in, then go back, scroll down again, click full site, and then click forums to view the full site forms recent posts... Pain in the ars.

I am getting use to Tapa Talk in the Timeline section for the time being until I figure out how to do it the old way.

Thanks again,
Danny

I was never able to just save the icon and go from there. Always had to google tsptalk and then I could go straight to the full site without logging in.
