So, Cheers to Nigenet for the lift. Off we go again. Another adventure!!

[Jambo yoti]

One fresh orange juice and cinnamon passion fruit cheesecake..anyone join me?xxxx

[SC]

Mornings all  time for a coffee me thinks 

[Jax2000]

Morning all. I'll have what Jambo's having please. 

I've discovered that if I use the phone app to access this forum I can't load the emoticons or post photos.....that's a bit strange. Apart from that I'm looking around our new digs quite favourably. 

The old forum is still there if you want a last wistful wander about. 

[Sindigo]

Coffee....strong. My children and their sleeping habits are like pendulums (pendula? too tired to Google). Sometimes they're in sync and sometimes not. Right now--not. 

 Look! I've found an "Amelie at 6 in the morning" smiley.

What phone do you have Jax? Maybe try a different browser? I think there are forum apps that might work too.

 

[Sindigo]

Oh, yes. Mornings all.

 

[Jax2000]

Morning Sindigo. I have a Samsung Note 4. It's just a little glitch on the Playstore app, but it works fine using Chrome. I've set my preferences to receive a sound notification when anyone posts, but that ain't happening at all!

That's not quite right.

These forums have 'responsive' design, where different things happen dependent on your device.

With regard to what you mention, the edit box buttons are different depending on device, with fewer of the buttons displaying on small-screen devices. The actual functionality still exists, tho.

So you can hand-type smileys, or use standard BBcode for things such as image links and quote boxes, for when the buttons aren't available to you.
