Auto Rotate - Mobile Unfriendly

#1

Post by DoubleFart »

This site no longer rotates, changed a few days back so I have to view portrait. It's a bit shit from a UX perspective.

Rotates fine on both my tablets and phone.
I am very sorry if you find my posts long and boring, I like to type and often go off on a tangent.

Virus? my dads phone got a virus and the screen stopped rotating until we installed a clean ROM, unless it's something silly like a browser update that reset the preferences or faulty accelerometer.

I'll do the firmware update its requesting, possible that Google have buggered this up to enforce you to upgrade.

Ah yes Google, good old Google.

Just check in settings first make sure some other app hasn't turned off auto rotate, I think on my tablet a while ago I installed this WiFi signal strength app and that altered mine too.

Forum no longer comes through on my phone. Not sure if this is my phones fault.. but it basically says site not found. Has always worked until recently - anyone else having this issue?

I just tested it on my phone and it directs straight to the mobile phone layout as usual.

I'm having the same problem: it redirects to http://the-fastlane.co.uk/index_list.php, which doesn't exist.

Thanks MSR, that helped me identify the problem! (I accidentally dragged and dropped a file from the CPdB into the main Fastlane forum folder :blush: )

Try now :)

Works ok in Firefox.. but still not working for me in chrome. It's redirecting as mentioned above.

Again, apologies if this is my issue. I'm not what you might call, tech savvy ;)
