Viewing forum sites on instinct / Instinct-Samsung.com

[dpick]

Anyone else having trouble loading this board on their Instinct?

I tried a few times this morning and mine would freeze up and return to Speed Dial.

welcome to the instinct web browser

I never had any of that issue, try changing the view to Mobile mode?

[dpick]

Mobile mode worked the problem is limited to the standard mode. 

I figured this would be a good site bookmark on my Instinct since I come a few times and read the latest happenings but the "Full HTML browser", on my phone, is not able to handle this page.

yeah this site worked for me at first but now this and alot of other pages that worked at first are starting to freeze up the phone. I think its just the browser.

Yeah same for me sometimes when im on the browser it just exits the browser and goes to the speed dial also which is wierd, but hopefully they have a fix on that.

this site works. Sometimes better than others. But i have been on other forums that load but not 100% correctly.

its a little bit of a pain to view forums because you have to scroll let to right, it doesnt put everythinh in a column view like other phone browsers, you can zoom out to 1/2 the size but then its too small to read. also depending on the forum ( i go on glocktalk, ar15.com, howard forums, and sigforum allot) , it take sa long time to go betwen pages, sometimes a full minute or more

This is somewhat true. Personally i have gotten used to it so i can kind of scroll and read and i actually found out if i try hard i can read in 1/2x zoom but its not easy. Aside form this the truth is this browser is terrible so if that is a very important thing to you then wait for an updated browser. The browser is very important to me but since ive got the phone i like the other features enough to make me wait for a new browser.

if opera mini or firefox comes onto the instinct will those browsers change it so we dont have to scroll back and forth on the screen? (never used opera mini and just heard about ff coming to mobile)

I can read the forums vey well on the instinct, I just have the scrolling issue. I do not care much about that.What I do cae about is how to actually reply..

[criley98]

This site renders VERY well, with just the right spacing and font size to make clicking links and reading very nice.  No left to right scrolling necessary, either.  Just wish I could mark all new threads read when I'm done so when I come back later I can see truly what I've missed.

here is a pic of your thread, as it was rendered....so i don't know what the guy above me was talking about, you do have to scroll to read it. it does look nice and sharp but it took over a minute to load it fully. Everytime i go to a site my screen times out before the page loads....its annoying

Dusty, have you tried going into Mobile mode on your forum sites? when I go onto forums, I usually use mobile mode and it works better.  Your photo shows you in Standard Mode.
