Forums - Website Topics - Anybody else having issues with Vgchartz on mobile devices? (Edit: site fixed?)

Tagged games:

Over the past year, I'd say 95% of my site viewing is by mobile device. My cellphone or tablet.  My phone is a Droid Turbo and it isn't a slouch when it comes to specs. My tablet has built in 4G as well.  Anyway, I can even see past four of five posts on any given thread these days.  Connecting to WiFi doesn't help, either.  What do I do? The forms are the only thing keeping me here and now I can't even participate in those. :(

Yes! absolutely don't know why thou... It opens and then it's like it freezes and does'n want to respond or do anything.



Id be willing to make Vgchartz more phone friendly....Just waiting for brett to give me the heads up ;P



The website works on mobile devices? I know the VGChartz Buddy is useless on my Android tablet, I.E. Completely off-screen.

On Windows Phone it's almost impossible/highly difficult to log in.

The website is loaded with significant amounts of advertising and gif's which slows lower-end mobile devices to a crawl... Always been this way though.

It's because of the adds.

9 out of 10 adds break the site, it's beyond annoying. I used to keep refreshing until there was another add, preferably a static one, that let the site fully load. I particularly hated one with some guy riding those foot-water-jet things, I really wanted to kill that guy.

Anyway I'm browing on mobile nearly 100% of the time too (I don't even have a PC hooked up anymore) and since the latest iOS update at least you can have add-blockers, so now it works like a (slowish) charm. Don't know about Android devices, but if you can install add blockers or can have a different browser that blocks adds by default, I'd suggest try that.

Maybe there should be a VGCharts app?



Yeah every time I try to go look at the October Amazon predictions it freezes half way down the first list, it's annoying and I wish it would be sorted out. Love looking at all the list and such. I'm actually here for the sales :P

GGuess it's the ads

Whoa! You should ask if here's anyone who does NOT have issues with VGC and mobile, the list would be much shorter. I've done 99% of my web browsing with mobile for the last decade, so I know what you're talking about.

You should try out Opera Coast browser. I'm using one now on a tablet (while driving) and it seems to be working perfectly on VGC.



Ei Kiinasti.

Eikä Japanisti.

Vaan pannaan jalalla koreasti.

 

Nintendo games sell only on Nintendo system.

And now, after a week of problems, the site works like before. Awesome!
