I'd just like to inform you that clicking on the 'Dark Truth... info graphic ' link at the top of the page, displays a completely blank page.
E-Cigarette Forum - E-Cigarette Infographic

I'm using a generic Android tablet i.e. accessing the mobile and not the full site version of the web site. Everything else I've clicked on appears fine.
To discover the truth, am I meant to have chosen the red pill or the blue pill... lol
Anyhow many thanks for supplying the web site seems like a good place for me to get some expert knowledge on the 'vaping' scene.

The older android versions are having issues with the link and image. My e-reader is running Gingerbread (no upgrade available for it) and it's having all sorts of issues with the image. I'm also using the default Dolphin browser (version 4 if I recall). This isn't something that's easily fixed, and unfortunately, those with older "droids" are going to have to live with it I think.

I'll do some more testing with it later and see what I can come up with.

Edit -- I made a boo-boo (surprise, surprise, NOT!). This was on my e-reader using Tapatalk 2. I'll try the Dolphin browser later and see if I get the same results.

I've tried the two suggestions from Sonicdsl:
"...Try the full site view or a non-mobile "skin"
... try this link: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/e-c...rette-info.jpg "
-both viewed the page successfully on my (7inch)Tablet and Galaxy Ace (Android Gingerbread). The original link only fails when I switch back to the mobile version of the site.
Unfortunately having got the page loaded, it is impossible to read or make out any of the standard sized body of text due to the poor resoloution of the jpg, which is a shame because the larger text suggests a wealth of iinteresting information is contained therein.
I see Retired1 states there appears to be issues with using older 'droid versions and we may have to live with it.
My suggestion is maybe look at using the original high-quality document and converting this into a pdf file. Firstly, this would allow older droid users to view via their mobile using a free (adobe) pdf viewer. Secondly, ,,and I believe more inportantly -a better produced image. As it stands at the moment, a top quality site is being badly let down by a poor quality image, considering the importance of the information it contains, the message your trying to portray and it's prominence on each page - it is a major advertisement for your site and should be crisp and clean!
But hey, that's just my opinion and we all have one of them ;)
My first thread, in the feedback section of all places, thanks to EVERYONE who has given suggestions or added to the thread -you people 'rock'- keep it coming!

Its already in PDF format. When I viewed it on my pc running Windows 8 with the Crome web browser it came up as a PDF which l could save if I chose to do so. Do't worry you aren't the only one with the problem as it opens a blank page on this tablet which is running ICS.

Is it possible that there's a script running on the link - E-Cigarette Forum - E-Cigarette Infographic
and depending on which platform your running, you either get the jpg or the pdf ??
I've tried 2x devices on Android Gbread, -blank.
Rasmith tried an ICS droid - blank.
Keighly droid (version?) -blank.
Sonic using SG3 (droid ver?) - JPG displayed.
Rasmith Win8/chrome - PDF displayed.
In both my cases clicking view 'Full Site'before clicking link allowed me to see the JPG -thanks Sonic.
Seems to be right what Retired1 says regarding older droid versions being a problem. My droid crashed twice trying to compose this reply whilst flicking between screens, touchscreen all over the place.
Always aaaaargh. Anyway, retired has reposted, seeing JPG (platform? ) as well. Rasmith can you post the link for the PDF file, I ain't got no PC (bust, n definitely no Win8) :( my droids acting like possessed calculators at momenht, also you could try Sonics full site suggestion on your ICS.

Well for starters it's not a droid, it's a Sony Tablet S, no big deal... SORRY for any confusion as I followed a link in a newsletter that I received. Here it is:

http://e-cigarette-forum.us6.list-m...313cd9ec9278131b69&id=c01ba35410&e=663b6ede9a

When I go there using this tablet I see this:

So it's not a script rather it is a totally different web page.

Like I said, it's a link that was in a newsletter that was sent to me from ECF. Have you tried it? It works for me on both my Tablet S and my Galaxy Nexus.

You're talking apples and oranges. The OP was speaking of the link here on ECF, not from the newsletter.

...I'm back. Thanks 'retired' for clarifying, it is indeed the link at the top of this site that was giving a blank page when accessed from a mobile/tablet. It seems Android versions Gingerbread,ICS and Probably Froyo have this problem -the latest version Jellybean, gets pointed to the jpg image correctly (thanks Sonic).
I've just been to check the link - it's GONE, Its been replaced with a request For CASAA testimonials and I've just tried the direct link to the jpg file - ALSO GONE. :eek:
In the meantime, Rasmiths post has a link to the pdf version which appears to be still working if anybody's looking for "The Truth. "
..hmmm ..missing link, missing file - wonder if the wonderful web-pixies are sorting it out !
Talking of sorting things out, I need to get on and find myself something to Vape with, I'm still on <cough> analogues.
I've got some vague idea of what 'I think' I need ...maybe I'll start a new thread and air my thoughts and see where that takes me ...?hmmm?
