Afternoon all.

I have noticed recently that i am unable to log in to DaniWeb from Android Mobile.

When selecting the "Member Login" the pop out box appears then disappears before i can do anything.

Could this be looked at? Or has DaniWeb got a mobile app?

As reported, the login pop-up on Android appears and then immediately disappears; confirmed an app was “in the works” (no ETA given) and that server-side login generation hadn’t changed. That pattern strongly suggests a client-side/browser interaction on Android — not an account or server authentication failure.

Common quick checks that often reveal the cause: try a different Android browser (Chrome, Firefox, etc.); disable any data‑compression or content‑blocking features; clear the browser cache and cookies; verify JavaScript is enabled; test in a private/incognito tab to rule out extensions; and force the full-site/login page (for example, long‑pressing the login link to open it in a new tab or using “Request desktop site”) to avoid a modal-only flow.

For site debugging and permanent fixes, the usual culprits are modal/overlay code interacting badly with touch events or the virtual keyboard (focus/blur and viewport resize). Practical mitigations that have helped elsewhere:

  • Prevent backdrop taps from auto-dismissing while inputs are focused (make the backdrop non‑dismissible during input).
  • Keep the dialog position fixed and allow internal scrolling rather than letting the page reflow when the keyboard appears.
  • Stop propagation of touch events on the backdrop so accidental touches don’t close the dialog.
    Example snippets (framework-agnostic ideas):
$('#loginModal').modal({backdrop: 'static', keyboard: false});
.modal { position: fixed; max-height: calc(100vh - 20px); overflow: auto; }

A reproducible debug path is Chrome remote debugging: enable USB debugging on the Android device, connect to desktop Chrome and inspect via chrome://inspect to capture console errors and touch-event traces. That will show if a script is throwing or a handler is firing the dismiss. No ETA on the app was posted by , so these browser-side workarounds and the modal fixes above are the most practical short-term options.

DaniWeb has a mobile app in the works although nothing has been launched as of yet. There haven't been changes to the way the login form is generated so unfortunately I'm not sure why it no longer works on Android Mobile. I only have access to an iPhone.
