It's a known issue, which HQ are, presumably working on.

Hi Kiteman
I was searching for a better faster web browser for my android phone . I was using the dolphin browser and i wasnt to impressed. So i did a search and came up with a browser called "opera mini " browser. Has great reviews and says its fast so i downloaded it and yes it is very fast and it recognizes the drop down tab on instructables . It works great .... give it a try .... Jim

(Typing in Opera Mini)

So it does!

Unfortunately, the flag buttons don't seem to work in this browser...

A bit too fast, actually - hitting the You button, it reacts so fast that I'm at my You page before the drop-down menu appears.

Now i know that thats not a real complaint now is it ?? I cant believe the difference between the regular google search and this browser. what a difference.... I noticed the same thing on my laptop when i switched from using internet explorer to firefox..

I have had the same problem, especially on my daughter's iPad. I hope Kiteman is correct. I did get the new app for my iPhone. I was hoping to be able to navigate and respond to posts in the Community section, but cannot find a way to get to anything other than normal Instructables.

ok well last night it worked on my phone and tablet. but now i see that the 2 tabs for tech shop and handyman are gone which was the initial problem because it would go to them when you click on your page but now it doesnt see the drop down when you click on it ... HHHHmmmmmm
