Accessing forum from mobile phone...

[Tigger]

... I could do it on my old Android mobile phone but on my new phone, away from home (ie on 3G) I can't access the forum either via Tapatalk or Internet Explorer. Tapatalk says there's a problem and to contact the forum administrator. IE - which goes to orangeworld (or somesuch) after rejecting forum.ctc.org.uk - says there might be some naughty adult content which I mustn't see

My new phone is an Android HTC One V and I'm with the Phone Coop who use Orange as the 3G provider. (I was with Orange/ EE before.) Sorry, dunno which version of Android yet.

I can't find any relevant security settings, and can't seem to add approved sites so please can anyone help me find the setting(s) which allow me to view what I want?! Cheers m'dears!

I use Google Chrome on my One V with no issues. I have the forum bookmarked on my desktop and can access various Google bookmarks on my handset via my Google account.

Thanks Redvee, I could try Chrome - I use it on my pc. But I feel it doesn't explain why Tapatalk wont work - unless it is using IE security settings?

Link to content that you must not see .

I had a T-Mobile 3G dongle at one time (=Orange, I think), which was very picky in its default settings as to which sites it allowed. It was fixable, I think via ringing some sort of call centre.

Thanks sjs, I'll probably give my provider a call on Tuesday.

Errrmm, thanks Gaz

Just in case anyone is interested, or has the same problem... ie cannot access the forum via 3G whereas WiFi is fine, using hovercraft full of eels. (preferred option) or browser.

I contacted my mobile provider - The Phone Coop - a week ago and the issue still isn't resolved. They haven't washed their hands of me (yet) but they are scratching their heads as they haven't met this before. Admittedly they are a teeny weeny company compared to the likes of Orange.

So far we've tried;

• new SIM in old phone - no go
• replacement new SIM in new phone - no go
• signing up to another forum ( I only belong to this forum!) - failed with BikeRadar because they don't support Tapatalk But worked with CycleChat
• Chrome - no go

I did find the browser > Settings > Advanced > Website Settings by the way, but there doesn't appear to be an 'Add' option. Eh?

I'd really like this resolved because I like to catch up with the forum when I'm at work, especially on nights*

Cheers

* before anyone gets on their soapbox... I can do what I want when I don't have a customer to see to. Well, within reason

Edited to change IE to just 'browser'

[Tigger]

OK, I guess this should have been checked sooner but one of the Access Point Names (APN) settings was wrong. An error on the Phone Coop website, I might add

So problem solved But strange that it should work for other sites/ fora and not the CTC one

Thumbs up for their IT sticking with it until we found the cause.

I am not as tech savy as you lot but have a related issue. I sometimes access the forum on my ipod touch using wifi and the safari browser that comes with it. I keep getting an annoying message about tap-a-talk then asking me to purchase it? This comes up every time i change a page - it is very annoying - anyone know how to get rid of it.

Some have had success clicking 'ok' which takes you to the app store. You don't need to buy it just follow link once.

Hope works for you.

Thanks for that Dave,
Followed the link then selected the cancel button. Finally got rid of that annoying pop up
Why do they make life so complicated?

Hmm - I had to get orange to disable "safeguard" or whatever they call their censorship to allow me to browse here...
