Hmmm…but just 1 user? Just kidding…I couldn't resist.

I got a new phone, Android, this site still doesn t format properly every time and it locks up the browser (Chrome) about every 3 pages. 4 different phones, 2 different OS, same problems.

Just a guess from what I've read, but I think LJ was custom written years ago by LJ founder before any type of Internet forum software emerged. With the special features of the projects, blogs, etc., it would be very costly to move to one of the newer standard formats and keep all of the old content which is a big asset to LJ.

Wish forums were made to use with tapatalk app. It s way easier.

If it were easy or cost effective to update he probably wouldn't have sold it.

Never used it on my phone as it only has a 2" screen … by today's standards a dumb phone.
I use my Samsung Tab S tablet and only have one issue that is annoying.
The drop down for signing out appears over ads and makes it difficult to sign out.
Those adds need to be closed to make the sign out process work.

There have always been minor annoyances looking at the site with my phone but recently it's a total PITA when it comes to commenting. Just hangs and hangs when I'm typing, I've had the same phone for two years, I'm not sure what the deal is. And based on everything I've read, it's never gonna be optimized for phones. I understand the reasons why, nonetheless it's disappointing.

I tried a new browser and the hang ups are not there. Was using Chrome and am typing this on Opera mini with no issues. Looks like I'll stick with Opera for now.

Chrome Android hasn't been freezing up lately but site formatting on that browser is shot. I tried Firefox Android and it formats correctly but it hesitates for about 10 seconds or so about 2/3 through loading the page, every page, haven't noticed the problem on any other website. I'll give Opera a shot.

I post exclusively from iPhone and iPad. On an iPhone 6s, some things lay out funny, because the screen isn't big enough, and there's an occasional typing glitch as the site's JavaScript trips over the spellchecker in iOS, and I'll sometimes get into a mode where I can't switch to the numeric mode on the keyboard, but it's mostly useful. And it's almost always better on the iPad than the iPhone, so I mostly just read from the phone.

The issue I have is not really smart phone related. It's not being able to be logged in at different locations. I'm not always on my desktop, I switch around from desktop, laptop and Ipad, between all of these I find myself logged out and having to log back in even though I have selected keep me logged in.

IIRC, several years ago someone found a site exploit that worked by being logged in on two browsers at the same time and the quick fix was limiting log ins.

I tried Opera and it kept hanging up, becoming non responsive. Then I tried UC and the site formats correctly and is lightening fast. Odd what a difference the browser makes.
