I'm sorry, I'm stumped on this right now. I tested the login on an HP TouchPad, and I see the problem you're having -- the login never proceeds after you click the Login button. Unfortunately the HP tablet has no kind of debugging tools for it, so I have to try and guess what the problem might be, and then through trial and error try and pinpoint it. So far I have had no luck. Making matters worse, the login feature works just fine in my development server -- it just isn't working on the product... [ More ]

Is there any support for HP-Touch tablet. I use to be able to log on to lottery post and now I cannot. Any help will greatly be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I do have some more information about using the text editor on an iPad.

The iPad's support for advanced text editing has only been around since iOS 5, so it's still a bit buggy. There is a work-around if the cursor freezes up , and when you type letters on the keyboard nothing changes.

To un-freeze it, click the button in the bottom-right corner of the on-screen keyboard, which makes the keyboard go away. Then, click into the text editor again to start typing again.

Unfortunately, if th... [ More ]

You're right, the iPad does not do very well with the text editor. I'd reocmmend if you're going to use the iPad a lot that you disable the rich text editor, and just use the Simple Codes editor. Click Account Settings in the Options menu, then un-check the rich text editor option, then click Save at the bottom.

My iPad has trouble on here at times. If I make an error and I hit backspace, I cannot type anymore on the post. It only does it on here. Has anyone else said anything about this? I mainly come on here using my iPad so I can't post as much because of this issue.

OK, this issue should be fixed now. The page selector was actually being displayed, but the Windows Phone has a bug that caused it to be displayed off-screen. I worked around the bug and hopefully it is now working for all devices (including Windows Phone).

Also, I found a completely different bug that prevented the countdown timers from working on the results pages, so I fixed that too.

OK, now I see what you mean. I'll check it out, thanks.

Hey Todd, I couldn't copy the whole thing but bottom of each page you have a downward arrow which you click on then you could select specific page. It might have to do with the update from windows 7 to windows 8. not sure but it was useful feature.

I'm not sure what you mean by the page tab . Is that a Windows Phone feature you're talking about? Could Microsoft have changed the way it works in Windows Phone 8

Hi Todd

Glad that you are enjoying your new HTC windows 8 phone. I currently have the nokia lumia 920 which is also a great phone. I had the HTC HD-7 phone also which work great with the LP site. I notice when I used the HD-7 I was able go to the page tab and select the individual pages. With the windows 8 version when I click on the tab nothing happens. Everything else works just find. I find this to be an issue since you can pin the last page that view to your start screen the refer back to... [ More ]

Just create a bookmark in your Android browser. To completely bypass the mobile site and go straight to the forum page, add ?m=mainsite to the bookmark URL.

For example, for the Pick 3 forum, bookmark the following URL:

Todd,

As you continue to tweak your system and make it more user friendly for android users, it would be nice if you had a direct link to the pick3 and pick4 forums as opposed to having to go to the main menu and then use the drop down menu.

I am happy to announce that the update has been installed. There were a few unexpected issues encountered after installing it, so a couple of tweaks later, it's finally ready and the site should be stable now.

The major updates are Windows Phone support and proper menu support for all Windows Phone, Windows RT, and Windows 8 touchscreen devices. But there were a number of other improvements as well.

From a technology point of view, it is quite a major update, and the focus of the update (m... [ More ]

I'll make another announcement when the new version is installed. As I mentioned in my initial post: I'm going to try to roll out the new stuff and fixes over the next couple of days. I figure I have a at least a day or two more of testing and tweaking before it's 100% ready.

It just keep saying Please wait checking your System? Still nothing happening I don't know if it is my Phone or what but I use to be able to get it? It works fine on my Husbands Phone. Happy New Year Todd can you please answer my question? Wow thanks Todd that reply was pretty fast, Ok, I will check that out too about the cookies.

(My apologies if this is the wrong place to post this, but I figured as long as we're talking about mobile access...)

Todd, have you ever tried using LP in Chrome on iOS? The site works fine in Safari, but in Chrome the only option that exists is Go to main site and it doesn't do anything when you tap it.

I'm running the most current version of both iOS (6.0.2) and Chrome (23.0.1271.100) on an iPhone 5.

Thanks to recent purchases of a Microsoft Surface tablet and a Windows Phone, the technical folks in the Lottery Post labs (OK, it's just me here in the lab , but I can dream...) have been able to figure out why the new Microsoft touch devices have been having some trouble.

Glad to read you enjoyed you new X8. WP8 is much better than iOS in many ways and I believe a lot of people would be pleasantly surprised if they get a chance to use one WP8 device.

I really like HTC and by then end of next week I'll have the 8S; currently I'm using a Lumia 710 but I was impressed by an 8S a friend had.

Good luck and I'm sure that within a few days there won't be any issues for those who use WP devices.

All The Best.
