I browse a lot on a smart phone. Sometimes I’ll click a thread or page and the whole screen high lights and goes off to amazon. Only ever amazon, nowhere else. Anyone know what that’s all about?

Had that too, no idea why though

been having that for a few days and have let Mark know. He was looking into it.

For me it happens with any top banner Amazon ad, on Dolphin Browser (Android). The active area is whole page until the page fully loads, then the active area is just the ad area again.

It happens to me too, I have to leave it for a while to let the page fully load.

edit: as Stoner said ^

Wouldn’t it be great if there was an stw iphone app!

That happend to me the other day on Android with std browser. (HTC)

That is not going to help STW’s poor Android user though.

Opera FTW.

aaah, not just me then!

Ive always found Opera to be a bit clunky and doesnt render the forum page very well when you zoom in/out or rotate.

Dolphin is a great app.

Aye it is a bit crap 😀 …will look up Dolphin.

I hear Hamster is good too.

Sounds like some Orange network plans.

never had this problem on the iphone.

(awaits slating for mentioning the ownership of an iphone).

Same here

Android / HTC Legend

I would like a specific ipad app which encompasses the forum and digital version of the magazine rather than just a pdf.

Lots of dev work needed for that though.

email from mark. He says he’s beaten the chief hamster with a riding crop and will see if that has any effect….

thought it was just me

I’ve tweaked a few things under the bonnet.. If I can’t fix it I’ll just disable the ad. Sorry guys

Im using xscope6 on android and havent noticed any problems so far, xscope is much better than dolphin in my opinion. 🙂

STW on Tapatalk would be good…

It happens using opera mini sometimes too

Whatever you did, seems to have fixed it. Thanks.

I’m still getting this issue on my Desire HD, anyone else?

Just happened to me again. Std desire and browser still.

Have been getting this a lot, too. Desire/Froyo/Dolphin. Will keep an eye on it 🙂

Still getting it on my desire also for some reason since the new site I get logged out every now and then some how, it only happens on this site and never did before

Still had no reoccurrence, but that may be down to the odds of the ad appearing.

Never ever happened to me – Desire & std browser. Would it be any less likely if one were a Premier member?

One is a premier 😉

still happening to me…..costing me a fortune on Amazon purchases!

Yes, afraid it seems to be back again. How much do you think amazon pay for that facility?

That’s a thought. Since o don’t have an ad blocker on this phone it must be my premier membership with low-ads setting which stops it happening at the moment and maybe it only ever happened when I was logged out. Afterall I cant see an ad at the top of this thread

Not seen this happen on Safari/iPhone yet. So it may be ‘droid specific?

I’ve not had it either but thought I’d seen other iPhone uses mention it.

Oh and it’s apparently not just specific to STW.

I use opera mini on a non-android phone and get the same issue

its stopped happening to me (used the phone on the forum for a few hours yesterday evening) but I reckon that’s coz Im a premier user and I was logged in so the banner ads are blocked (i think?)

Any premier uses getting the problem while logged in?

Otherwise it’s just the amazon ad at fault.

Should have got an iphone eh? 😛

I get it on opera on my jesus phone.

Serves you right for using Opera, it’s rubbish on the iphone imo.
