I like the old one better, When I go to the page and click forum state, it opens with old information. Can you make it bring current information?

old information is usually found if we use the search dialog box. Thanks Todd

Hey Todd,

Been meaning to reply but I've been too busy losing my hard-earned money.

I actually prefer the desktop website. The only thing I notice is that after a period of inactivity, I'm often defaulted to the mobile version. Personally, I'm not very mobile. I'm at home most of the time and I have LP running on my laptop, too.

There is one forum I follow, but I don't think I've tried to access it through the mobile site. When I do, I'll send feedback.

Thanks for the great work yo... [ More ]

Todd,

Thank you for seeking feedback. I did notice the addition of the mobile friendly website on LP. For younger folks, who require rapid communication in the age of face-book, and mobile friendly apps that are focused on specific topics to meet their needs, this is a welcome addition. For older folks like myself, who have an old phone primarily for receiving calls, an occasional text here and there, I don t use the phone's full capabilities, which frustrates my child. For me, the mobile we... [ More ]

If I used it in a mobile applications I would like to be able to use P3 systems on the go. It would be nice to pull up a system and use it when I'm filling out the slips at the store. I usually do my knockout or mirror adjacent on the back of the playslip. This would make it great for the lottery player.

I specifically turn off the mobile website to only use the desktop website. I like to read the most recent posts in the pick 3 forum for my state. Despite turning off mobile, when I go into the state post on the pick 3 forum, ie Ohio: 5/1 - 5/31/2018 I can successfully enter the thread; however, the site switches back to mobile. When I switch it back to desktop, I remain in the thread, on the first page. When I select last page, the site switches back to mobile. When I turn off mobile again, I a... [ More ]

Todd — Thu, 24 May 2018 17:12:40 GMT

The reason I'm requesting feedback for the mobile website is to involve the people using it (YOU) in the decision-making process for what to add next. If someone at my favorite website asked me what to add next I would gladly provide some comments about what I'd like to see. I would not be asking them how to get rid of their website!

Todd — Thu, 24 May 2018 17:08:20 GMT

Then nobody would ever get to the mobile website -- that kind of defeats the point of having a mobile website. There is an option for you to turn it off if you don't want to see it. That seems reasonable to me.

On the mobile website, you can go into the Options page and set it to never return to the mobile website (or delay much longer before returning).

I prefer the desktop layout on my phone because it displays charts that people make much better and the only gripe is that if I go to make a post and get side tracked before I click the submit button,it reverts back to the mobile layout and I lose the whole post.

For any website (not just Lottery Post), if a website is showing old information, click the Refresh button on your web browser. I haven't personally seen the mobile website ever show old results, but if happens to you it is a normal Internet thing, and you just need to click Refresh.

See my reply to gatorsok above for information about the website going back to the Home page.

That will happen if you block or clear the cookies on your phone. The setting is stored in a cookie, so if the cookie is blocked or deleted, the setting will not be saved.

Sorry, that's just the way it is with the paging commands. Analytics show that the vast majority of paging does not need the complete set of hundreds of page numbers loaded every time, and that the current paging fits what people use 99.9% of the time.

Really, it's not that big of a deal to do a couple extra clicks to go to a particular page; it's not like you'll be doing that every day.

Reply #23

Todd — Thu, 24 May 2018 14:54:53 GMT

The 6 option page is the Home page on the mobile website. It's not just some random page.

If you're on a very slow Internet connection, then you might be navigating away from the Home page before it finishes loading. If you see yourself brought back to the Home page, that's exactly what happened. Just navigate again and it should be fine.

There's not much that can be done about that because it does have to finish loading in order to work. On the plus side, after the first time you load the... [ More ]

I don't have a mobile phone, but I do have a system question. I'll use this as an example. Say you are on the discussion (or any forum) and you want to find something way back in time. (I'm not talking about using search now), and you click on show topics from past 2 years and there is 140 pages and you know what you want was posted about 14 months ago but not what page it is on. And you can't remember the name of the topic, but you'll know it when you see it. lol

I don't know if anyone else experiences this problem, but when I use the mobile website, I randomly and frequently get returned to the main 6 option menu. It became enough of an issue that I just use the Desktop version because it does not reset. Just to make sure, I tried the mobile website again just before posting this message and it still reset me back to the main 6 option page when I was try to access the Instant Tickets Forum.

How about instant messaging with other members?

How about making sure if someone is blocked then I shouldn't have to read their post?

The search area is okay. The desktop is better than the mobile. It might be a programming issue with the other admin that does this site.

Todd — Wed, 23 May 2018 23:03:29 GMT

Be sure you don't have an ad blocker or anything like that running. If you do, you'll need to whitelist lotterypost.com, because the mobile website does not work properly with an ad blocker. All the ad blockers I have tested block parts of the mobile site that are required to make it work.

I completely understand. About the search thing, to follow my example of the State of the Day Challenge thread, I just hit the Print button, then the whole thread is laid out as one page. I then use a (free) Chrome-browser extension that allows me to GREP the whole page. So, for example, if the State of the Day result was 213, I throw the logical expression 123|132|213|231|312|321 into GREP and search backwards. This wraps me around to the bottom of the thread (normally, but not always, the sear... [ More ]

Unfortunately it becomes difficult to do something like that on a mobile device because a phone browser runs out of memory quicker than a desktop browser, especially for large threads. What kind of searching are you doing in a thread? (An example

As a test, I'm wading through the tasks I normally do on a laptop to see if I can do them on the mobile site. So far it's pretty impressive, but there's one gotcha. Admittedly, most folks are not going to lose sleep over this, but here's what I see:
