When you click on links to various merchants on this site and make a purchase, this can result in this site earning a commission. Affiliate programs and affiliations include, but are not limited to, the eBay Partner Network.
So you're using the full theme on a mobile device. That's probably part of the problem. Part of the reason why there are mobile themes for mobile devices is because (especially older) mobile devices don't have the same resources as a desktop and therefore can't always fully work properly with a website.
Part of the path to the mobile theme here is handled via browser cookies on your device. You might need to clear them out so that you get directed (or prompted) for the mobile theme. That's by default, but if you ever opted for the full desktop version and never cleared your browser's cookies, that's all you're going to see on that device.

Cleared cookies and directed to mobile version. Much more functional. I'm on an LG G5 (faaaaast phone) it handles just about everything but for some reason disagreed With this forum. Thanks for the cookie info. I generally prefer full sites, but at least this works.
Apple Iphone (ios 8.3): I click on the link from the Corvette Forum email I receive in my Mail app. I want to reply to the post now. Does anyone know why the mobile browser in Safari keeps asking me to login into my CF account when I click on the Reply button?
Is there a way to keep me "logged in" for a while? I don't want to use Google/Gmail/Facebook to log in.
As a side note, I just downloaded the garage talk app as suggested above and this is my 1st post using it.
Does anyone know how I can redirect and open the email link directly into this app? That would be cool if there is a way to do it and avoid Safari on the iPhone/iPad. Thanks again.

Reason: Removed my signature since the App added it automatically :(

Thanks for helping.
Are you using the full-desktop theme or mobile theme (not mobile app)? There should be a Remember Me option to select to stay logged in. It is browser cookie-based. If the cookie is corrupt, or if you clear your browser, then you won't stay logged in. Facebook login is optional.

No, I don't believe so. Your default web browser is opened when you open a link in your email. So that would be a system setting. And how it would differentiate between a CorvetteForum link in an email and some other link in an email would add an extra layer of issue.

If you get screwed up again, you should be able to force the Mobile Site view by hitting this URL in your browser.
There's an app called "Garage Talk" you can link your Corvette Forum account and it looks just like the desktop version. All of the emoji's are there as well plus it notifies you when members reply to post or threads that you comment on. I'm not sure if it's on Android but someone could verify that.
Garage talk is nice BUT how do you set it so that our signatures do NOT automatically get added each time I reply to anything??! Is there a setting in the app to turn that off that I can't find?! Thanks in advance.

Reason: Removed signature that Garage Talk ap is AUTOMATICALLY adding in each of my Reply posts

I'll check my settings when I get home this evening. I use the app and haven't noticed signatures on my post.
Thanks for looking and letting me know when you can. I just checked again and I still don't see any settings to avoid the signature from being automatically inserted.
Didn't see anything in the settings for a signature. Let me know if this post has a signature because I'm using the app. If it doesn't then the settings may have to be changed on the website itself.
YES, I see your signature above!! It has your Current and Old cars in your post. However, in your previous post # 17, your signature was not there so there is something definitely going on
