Links don't work in the browser ?

« on: August 17, 2008, 01:33:44 AM »

Stormy and myself have noticed that we cannot click on hyperlinks while surfing the web on Instinct's web browser. Is there a way to change this ?

Can you give an example ( What page and what Link ) your trying to pull.

I have been able to hit soem of the ones I've tried on DisneyBoards have tried.

Could it be a Calibration/Stylus problem.

Ok, example being this very site on standard. know how we type in url's for other posts when we want to link elsewhere on the boards ? the url appears as text only, no hyperlink.

Ok I see what you Mean . I'll try to post as a Paste link and Insert Link and then see if there is a difference.

Paste

Insert

Inserted Link

I see it doesn't even relise the Inserted link is even there . It seems Like Standard and Mobile are having the same effect as well.It seems to let you switch Modes but it really is not doing it . It's staying in Mobile as it's a WAP in the Address.

It's almost like a Screen Shot rather then a Web-page if that make sence.

Yeah ... I fiddled with some of the coding around the links thinking it was maybe looking for HTML links vs. the [url] links that this site uses. I couldn't get anything to make a difference at all. One of the members pointed this out to me when I announced the new Update Info section where we'd post cross-links. That'll help regular browser users but not phone folks.

What's more odd to me is that the phone browser is OK with all of the links to get you into categories on this site and such, but it can't handle the user inserted links. Odd.

Previously that did not make a difference on our site. Even in Standard Mode, the link would show merely as text, not clickable. I checked it myself. Now it does appear to work in Standard mode.

wow, has my phone been in the dark ages...up until 2 days ago, I've only been able to access this site on mobile mode...when my nytimes started working, I checked again, and no problem, this site in standard mode...I've spent about 2 hours trying to crash my browser using nytimes, which was Never a problem ( usually just clicked the link ) and Everything is running fine...again, no update, just better...
