How to use the forum with an Android device?

  The forums need Flash, at least to log in in a browser. But, Android does not support Flash as a standard, so I'm stuck with a forum view as a guest, no log-in, no writing
  (only CC forums are enabled).

  Which kind of set-up would you recommend for browser and Flash on Android 6.0?

  You can get to the main forum from the CC forum if you have a link set up to get there.

  Thanks for the link! From there:

  alanti:

  Odd - if I type in WGT, it takes me to m,wgt.com (mobile friendly.

  There it says ANDROID GOLF GAME and you can get it on Googlr Play.

  Under that at the bottom of the page is 2016 World Golf Tour - a Top Golf Company.

  Directly under this is a link for the full site - use this you can actually log on.

  That link is

  http://www.wgt.com/home.aspx?mobile=0

  and it brings the usual WGT front page, but no login, due to Flash missing.

  I'm afraid I need some more recommendations - ehm - different idea! (edited)

  2nd try: This, taken verbally, actually works! I inserted the link to a CC forum post of mine, and it leads me to the general forum, logged in!

  This is my first post from Android! *bigsmile* Now I can bug you from my vacation next week!

  Don't you worry, I am NOT here!

  Back on PC now ;)

  TBH, the page looks a little weird on Android with the posting dates in the menu column:

  

  But it works for many things - not for all though (the crossing out four posts above was a second edit from here).

  LOL. I was part of the beta tester group for the Android system and this was one of the first things I tried during that period.   :-)

  At times I can access the forums on my tablet simply by opening the Chrome browser. Not sure how I can when I don't have flash on my tablet at all but it works at times. The first part of  this post was made on my PC. The last part was made on my Lenovo Android tablet just by opening Chrome and going to the forums.

  Forums don't need Flash, but the "PLAY NOW" button and lists below do need it. So you get to the forums, but instead of that button there's a link to the google play store:

  

  The right hand column is missing.

  Android FF works just great for the forum, and as an extra, I've been permanently logged in since my first visit.
