I think maybe the first time you tried posting you had the Rich Text editor enabled, because I didn't change anything that would affect the ability to input text. The test message I posted above from my iPod was done before I updated the site.

Given the iPhone's limitations with input, there's no way the Rich Text editor would work. You need to have it disabled (and use the Simple Codes editor).

Maybe you just finished updating the same time I was trying to get it working Todd. Thanks

Blackie — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 04:14:47 GMT

thanks Todd. Using the I phone now had to go to main page in control panel put a check mark in the box to allow me to write in here. Thanks again. Blackie

Todd — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 04:12:05 GMT

To close the loop on the issue mentioned earlier, I have finished updating the site with a few changes to make things better for iPhone and iPod Touch users who are navigating through the main site. Changes are posted in the change log.

Comment #48

Todd — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 02:25:52 GMT

Be sure that you have the rich text editor turned off when using the iPhone. It seems to be working well for me. This was written using my iPod Touch.

Blackie — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 00:50:50 GMT

Thanks Todd. I can read the posts and everything else now, just cant write into a post. Thats OK though. Thanks for what you fixed up!! Blackie.

Nicely put. Thanks very much

Todd — Sun, 09 Mar 2008 23:17:28 GMT

You should be able to surf around the main site now without that problem happening. There's a few things that I'm working on to make it perfect , and those should be finished by later this evening. For example, I'm going to change the Home link (directly underneath the logo) to go back to the iPhone site, because I realized there is no direct way of getting BACK to the iPhone site from here. (Non-iPhone/iPod users should just ignore this, because that changed link will only be visible to iPhone... [ More ]

Congradulations. I have been lurking around for many years and have always thought that you have put a lot of your own blood into this blog. When you get accolades, you deserve them. Life is about doing what you enjoy, doing it weel, and acknowledgement of that effort. The only thing that would make it better would be a few million in the bank

OK, I just got a chance to test, and you're right, there's a problem there. I'll see if I can find out what's going on.

Right...I need to upgrade to a phone with a web browser.

Todd, I am having the same problems as Blackie. Before you made the changes it was working fine.

Thank you .

Comment #36

Todd — Sun, 09 Mar 2008 17:36:55 GMT

Don't forget, Lottery Post also has a regular mobile site for people who want lottery results from a regular cell phone with a built-in browser (most cell phones have that feature these days).

If you point your cell phone's web browser to www.lotterypost.com, it will automatically show you the mobile site.

Litebets27 — Sun, 09 Mar 2008 17:28:08 GMT

Congratulations Todd. I will also look into upgrading so that I can get connected. If you don't see the lottery results on TV, here in Maryland, it is so hard to reach the lottery line on the phone. It amazes me because that line could be busy for an hour or more or sometimes not have the results until it's near the time for the next draw.

I've told friends, I can call the Florida lottery line and get connected here in Maryland, long before I can get into the Maryland's line. It can be frustr... [ More ]

The only time it re-directs back to the iPhone Edition of Lottery Post is if it cannot set a cookie. Be sure you are going to the main Lottery Post site by touching the Go to main site link, and not trying to go directly.

Also, if you previously had cookies disabled (you should never be running with cookies disabled (on iPhone or regular PC), then maybe you should go ahead and clear out the cache and old cookies (if there are some).

I can't test it myself at the moment, but I will do so la... [ More ]

Be sure you did not disable cookies on the iPhone.

Blackie — Sun, 09 Mar 2008 15:25:25 GMT

Thats great Todd.

I use my I Phone to read the posts and I did post a message or 2 from mine but I am having problems now that I'm trying to figure out how to fix. Probably something simple. When I connect to the screen you see on the I Phone I tap go to home page and it takes me to what I see on my home computer. I tap forums or anything else and it directs me back to the I phone screen. I cant read the posts, post anything, or see anything on the normal screen I used to get. Maybe I have to... [ More ]

Todd — Sun, 09 Mar 2008 15:05:48 GMT

I would have bought an iPhone myself, except then I'd have to switch to AT T, and I don't want to do that. So I got an iPod Touch instead. It's a nifty little device that can do lots of things that the iPhone can do. The main limitation is that you must be connected to a wi-fi network to get Internet access, whereas the iPhone has the option to connect on it's own through the cellular connection in addition to wi-fi. (Although iPhone users definitely prefer to be on a wi-fi connection, as it is... [ More ]

I just found out an interesting statistic about Apple iPhone Staff Picks .

Out of 1,135 applications in their catalog, only 10 are Staff Picks, and 1 of those is Lottery Post. I was surprised myself when I saw that. (Pleasantly

Lottery Post for iPhone earns Apple 'Staff Pick'

Lottery Post — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 17:59:16 GMT

Lottery Post, the world's largest community of lottery players, today announced that the new iPhone Edition of its popular Web site was awarded a Staff Pick by Apple.

The iPhone, built by Apple, is a combination cell phone and handheld computer. It went on sale June, 2007, and has sold over 5 millions units. Apple claimed Thursday that the iPhone currently makes up 28% of the smartphone market.

The iPhone is an ideal platform for lottery results and other lottery-related content, said Tod... [ More ]
