Smartphones and blog comments - problem?

I may have missed blogs on this change and apologies if so but it really is a little irritating.

Used to be you could only see the first 30 comments on a blog on a smartphone unless you went into full option (and eeny teeny print), well, not that many blogs go past 30 comments anyway. Not a huge problem.

Now it seems we can only see first few words of each comment - and that's not only me, Pat mentioned it on my last blog too.

It's a bit cynical of the programmers to assume we know what everyone's likely to say so don't need to see it laugh

Maybe if those who prefer, or only, use smartphone, and have this issue, could leave comments, and if it seems there really are quite a few affected, we could ask pretty-please to go back to the luxury of 30 full comments?

dunno









(And hey, anyone else astonished that it is already Friday?) cheers
Post Comment

Comments (53)

I have the same type of phone as Pat, but don't have any trouble reading blogs dunno

The only things I have lost since the change are the additional emoticons box, and the line down at the bottom of the comment box with the bold italics, image, colour, etc blues
I tried to use my phone for CS and I can only read messages, if I try to get on the blogs I can't read comments either..
btw forgot to say I liked your new photos, its nice to see you outdoorsis is it wine you are drinking?
So, hmm, that's 5 of us so far and only Molly having no problem. confused

Interesting! Maybe then someone can tell us which magic option Molly chose which bypasses the problem?

(and Ish, puzzled face here, you talking about my photo? because it is back to my boring lounge background)
From my mobile...

Friday yes,, and a public holiday hereapplause

Hope you have a great stress-free weekend...bouquet

I don't seem to have any hassles on my phone.dunno
Biff, Molly doesn't count, she only reads a few words anyway so wouldn't notice half a long comment was missing rolling on the floor laughing
Legs

I have a smart phone that I used for everything, including taking pic and online apps. I don't have that issue but I have quite a few. Sometimes I type the correct thing and when I look on what went through is totally off.

I just kinda ignore the gramma sometimes and hope the reader understood what is it I'm trying to say.
Maybe Trying a Samsung phone is a good option...maybe.
Molly, that's what I used to get. Will look at app to see if there's another option. confused

Oh! just did a very quick Google and there's an app for CS mobile IRELAND. Hey, that's just bias! laugh


Luke, you're either tapping into the Irish option or SA also has a friendlier one! You have a fab weekend too, Boet, sheesh you guys get a lot of public holidays yay (In the UK now all public holidays except Christmas are moved to the nearest Monday. It does simplify things but I do miss that occasional midweek break)
Haha now, children, no squabbling! Here's a cookie each laugh
Prof, okay thanks, maybe a different phone - although Molly did say she and Pat have the same type of phone confused
You had it up not so long ago and it's still on your profile.
Biff, there used to be so many Irish CS users before, we deserved our own site grin
Easy to sort, Molly can you do another screenshot, the comment on Ken's fire blog, that's long uh oh laugh
rolling on the floor laughing okay and no not wine, I had been but had a long drive to do back across Spain so had switched back to water
My next pupil has switched from Camille to Emptyroom Robot so I am around for the next hour sigh

Emptyroom Robot pays for my services but is a frustrating pupil who never answers questions, and never seems to improve. frustrated

He/she/it also never rates me as a teacher, so it is basic pay only, no bonus. sigh

On the bright side, I can ignore him/her/it and carry on chatting on CS, reading emails, checking FB, and starting on my last assignment for my qualification. Could be worse.

dunno
Just for you, Z

Unfortunately, it is true though blues

Yep Molly gets the whole thing, clear case of EU bias toward Ireland imo professor
We need a lot more bias towards us.

We will be deserted out in the Atlantic with a Non-EU country between us and the rest of the EU

And the potential of strife in the North again
Molly, ain't no picnic in Scotland either, I demand equal mobile phone rights scold
Ah but Biff, you will be part of the great Empire grin
Not going off topic at ALL but I'm told that's the one huge advantage of hauling in the DUP for the coalition - reducing North / South problem back to status quo?

My source is usually right, hope so in this case hug
Molly, comfort I dare say the UK will still let you fly over it to get to your beloved EU, though that is one of many things to be sorted in the Brexit talks professor if not flying round it will only add about 3 hours to the trip to Brussels laugh
Biff, the opposite!!!!

The DUP only represent the loyalists, who want to be part of the UK and will want a border again

That is a very dangerous situation blues
Shades of the days when SA flights couldn't go over Africa and had to do a dogleg doh laugh


Molly, idea become my partner in crime in Spain, SORTED, and oh boy Spain brace yersells, double trouble and TWO evil fascinating ladies on the prowl laugh
Z, I think we avoid the empire travelling to Malaga wink
Biff, Spain is not ready for that invasion quite yet laugh
mine is on laptop is never a problem ....has all comments emotions and everything you wants ..maybe no drink but then you don't get much free has a phone but don't use for here ..is our site we own it did you not know this ..
Molly, forget all this loyalist stuff, as I gather from what the DUP have said they want trade to continue as is, that means no hard border, of course politics in that part of the world tend to be extreme & some old die-hard could rock the boat but political goals have a habit of being kicked into touch once jobs & income are put at risk, as NI in general voted to stay in thus keeping the 4 freedoms, it would seem sensible to make the border UK mainland rather than between North & South dunno But as none of the parties involved want to the border back it'll be a foolish side that puts it back imo, the only sticking point I can see is Scotland, any special arrangement for Ireland is bound to leapt on by the Fish mumbling
wave Hey! Biff.


When I Use My Mobile! ( Which Is Most Of The Time)

I Uses The CS Website Desk Top Site! And I See All Of It! I Don't Use My Laptop Much For This Site. Because I Get To Laid Down While On The Site. And Relax!beer
JJ like your new profile pic and mmm, you own the site? For sure you guys bring the charm and blarney to it, to be sure, to be sure

grin
angel applause I can use the full website option but eish, then it is tiny, I have to read a bit at a time! laugh
of course we own it yeah blarney theres loads of that okay ..
Z, Sensible to keep the open border yes, but the EU would have to change its policy on borders to allow that.

The North is a very sticky, turbulent, issue. It does have to be handled differently to the rest of the UK.
roll eyes Oh! Biff.

Just Make The Words Become Bigger!

By tapping on your phone screen! Or go into your google setting. Then adjust the setting to how you want your size of the words to be.
Biff.

By The Way!
scold I Have To Tap My Phone Screen Twice!/ 2 Time Before It Enlarge To Incease The Words....
,I think the EU is afraid if it makes an exception in one case, they will have set a precedence.

To be honest, I would prefer to leave the EU than have trouble in the North again. They have gone through enough as it is, it wouldn't be fair to subject them to more of it.
@ Z.
Sorry?!

It's Too Late! We're? On Biff Second Page Now.......rolling on the floor laughing
Z, if the discussions were like that, it'd be grand laugh
a) no worries about the hijack, that's the best about blogs, they wander all over the place and that's why it's fun to read the comments yay

b) Angel has the solution THANK YOU switch to full site and tap twice (it's like a secret code wow) and Bob's your uncle. CS in miniature, but not so miniature you can't read it.

Ok so that's sorted the smartphone problem, and the politics put to bed with an Atlee-like wait-and-see. Excellent.

Mischief managed.

wave
I have the exact same problem as the OP but as I never read the comments it dosnt bother me tongue
Whoever coined the phrase "smart phone " was indeed a funny guy
