Default Android problems

Anyone else having problems accessing the forum with their android phone? Verizon problem? If so, how can it be corrected?

Its not just Android. IOS is doing the same thing. It seems there is a DNS issue with the mobile site. m.corvetteforums.com is no longer resolving.

I sent corvetteforums a message on twitter and facebook... with no reply.

I have an Android, and I have no issues with visiting the CF.

Restart your phone, 99% of the time it does the trick. When was the last time you upgraded the phone's software?

They did away with the mobile version
m.corvetteforum.com/

They want you to download their app instead

Which I have no interest in doing.

I guess having the app is better than no access, but It is not available in the the play store, how do you download it.

It's not under CorvetteForum, but under the company that owns it.

Have you tried www.CorvetteForum.com?

That works on my Droid 4

Yes, the problem is with the mobile site. If you are using chrome, just hit the settings button (three dots in upper right) and check "Request Desktop Site." It may not be as good as the mobile version, but some access is better than none.

Quit working for me 3 days ago kicks me back to some Tmobile search.

Not downloading anything to view from the phone, why complicate anything.

When I could access it the ads were irritating couldnt get rid of them.
