Accessing the Forum from abroad

[Cleoriff]

Hi guys...

Some of you will know I am in Spain at present and normally use a netbook to access internet etc.

Due to various problems getting topped up (till today) I have reluctantly used my S3 for the first time on the internet....

Please bear with me, all you folk who ALWAYS use mobile devices when abroad..

I found access to this forum very disappointing from my mobile. I expected the layout to be different but I did not expect so many features to be missing...

*There was NO access to smilies/emoticons

*I could never see who was online at that time

*Quick links were missing etc etc

I just wonder why that is on this forum? I am a member of 3 others and accessing them via mobile is exactly the same as when I do it via my computer

(As you can see from my insertion of smilies I am actually on my netbook at present):cat_smiley:

Does Android have this type of feature.

Hi @Toby

If you can increase the log out times may I ask what the maximum time it could be set to ?

Hi BoB,

It can be turned off altogether, but until we can confirm that MyO2 and community accounts are able to be totally separate (i.e. every possible customer journey throughout the website requires the relevant secure login), we cannot extend it. I would love to of course, but we must adhere to the rest of the site for now.

I hope that makes sense!

It does make sense to me @Toby ...as that was exactly what I was asking for!

As a standalone feature the Community forum does NOT need security such as constant logging out.

No other forum I access does this.

I hope this ssue can be resolved asap:smileywink:

@MI5 said "lol, of course it does

How is this set in the native stock internet app please.

I'm not a big fan of Chrome. 😞

I'm wondering if windows platform users have this too.
I had to key in my info every time in the Nokia Lumia 1020 and with no Chrome Browser available for that platform it was not a good user experience. Unless I missed something in the settings.

You just set it to remember username and password login as you can in Firefox and Chrome also. I don't use the stock browsers as they aren't as versatile but they can be used for auto login.

[MI5]

There is an app called "keeper" for WP which integrates with the stock browser.
As for "stock" on Android, there isn't really a "stock" browser as each OE tweaks their own with different features. Some have password autofill / auto login and some don't.... Of course, Google want Chrome to be stock which is creeping in as some phones now only have Chrome installed from the factory.....

Thank you for clarifying that @MI5

Android can be Quite fractured in some aspects and awesome in others 😞

I submit each OS has it's pro's and con's
