I am old btw (39) so you young ones can help me. I put it as an icon on my phone. When I click on the icon it brings up the normal home page. Then when I click on forums, like I do on my computer, It takes me to this other stranger looking page. Instead of the normal forum that has all the subjects we can read. Is there something I am doing wrong and what do I need to do. Step by Step would help. It's a Samsung Galaxy 4g or s or something. The good one that is supposed to be as good as the Iphone. Thanks in advance

its defaulting to a mobile version of the website
hit the menu button and click "desktop view"
that will make it look just like it does on your computer

This. I had the same issue for awhile. CF is now my homepage for my internet. More interesting than anything else out there anyway.

Does anyone else have trouble with random crashes with CF? Some days at work, my computer just tanks. My phone has issues on occassion too. I just assume it's the mods keeping out the riff-raff

I have had those issues. They don't normally last long and they usually post on facebook that they are having problems.

Do you guys really take it off the mobile version for your phones? I sometimes accidentally go to the full page and it annoys the crap out of me until I go back into the settings and change it. The mobile version is great.

Yeah I'm also not a big fan of the mobile version. I'm just too used to the desktop version

I have that problem at work all of the time. And I mean all of the time. I assume it is because of the crap IE8 I have to run on the work computer.

I love the mobile site. Just click on "What's New?" and you'll see all the newest threads with posts you haven't viewed yet.

There are some limitations with the mobile site though. No 'Like" link. Can't post pics. Don't see some pics. Probably others I'm forgetting.

I like the mobile version on my phone, because I have fat thumbs, but on my tablet the full site is perfectly manageable.

The lack of being able to 'Like' is annoying, but you can't post pictures with the mobile version using tags. I do it all the time.
