how do you use the dropdown menu on a droid? -- nm - loosilu2 Oct 28, 10:33 18
- In Settings try changing the Text size option. Mine only works when I have it set to Large. -- nm - Ender Oct 28, 10:42 1
  - this worked. thank you! -- nm - loosi on the droid Oct 28, 10:48
- which dropdown menu? like the jump to posts one up there, or...? -- nm - TFox Oct 28, 10:34 15
  - for BBing. -- nm - loosi on the droid Oct 28, 10:35 14
    - you touch it, and it puts the website in the background and all the dropdown choices in the foreground, and you scroll and touch the one you want. -- nm - TFox Oct 28, 10:36 13
      - That's what mine does. -- nm - lileve Oct 28, 10:42
      - nope. -- nm - loosi on the droid Oct 28, 10:38 11
        
        um.... ok, then you have a magic build of Android that doesn't work. -- nm - TFox Oct 28, 10:39 10
        
        apparently. -- nm - loosi on the droid Oct 28, 10:40 9
        
        I would suggest making sure you're updated to the latest OS and be sure to update all the apps too. -- nm - lileve Oct 28, 10:42
        
        (seriously, in both my browsers, this is exactly how it works.) -- nm - TFox Oct 28, 10:41 7
        
        I get zero response from clicking it. phone is a week old. - loosi on the droid Oct 28, 10:44 3
        
        I had a similar problem. Download and try using the Opera browser. It works better for me than the Android browser. -- nm - Krusty Oct 28, 10:50 2
        
        didn't know this was available. doing it now. - loosi on the droid Oct 28, 10:54 1
        
        There are two, a mini and regular. I like the regular better. - Krusty Oct 28, 10:57
        
        Same here. - Strongbad Oct 28, 10:44 2
        
        I think it hasworked previously on this phone. cant swear to that. -- nm - loosi on the droid Oct 28, 10:46 1
        
        stupid suggestion, but try rebooting the phone. or exiting the app and starting over. -- nm - TFox Oct 28, 10:47
FF: I just traded Andy Dalton and the Bucs DEF for Davone Bess and the Titans DEF. I'm happy with it. - Strongbad Oct 28, 10:31 2
