    Default PM when browsing on cell

    I seem to be unable to send PM's from my cellphone.

    I browse GS on my phone most of the time and saw a "For Sale" thread with some items I was interested in get posted. I tried to PM the seller from my phone, as I was nowhere near a PC, but the messages do not get sent. Obviously I lost out on the item I was interested in. Based on the timeline of posts in the thread mine would have been the first reply, had it been sent.

    Is it just me or do other user also experience this issue?

    I send PMs from my phone without any issues. What version are you using on mobile? The new blue one or older green one?

    What phone you using? I haven't used the mobile site in ages. Just request desktop version.

    Enter browser, press options. Tick box.


    May need to retype the GS url leaving out the m.

    I've had this when my inbox and outbox were full. The mobile version doesn't let you know, it just doesn't send the PM. You need to go the desktop version to clear your PMs, can't do it on mobile.
    Sent electronically, thus not signed.

    I had about 15 in each and you are allowed 30 iirc. Thanks for the suggestion!

    The S3 mini is horrible at scaling, that is why I use the mobile view on the phone. When using the desktop on this small screen you end up scrolling left/right/up/down like a lunatic!

    Thanks for all the suggestions though!
