Problem exists between keyboard and chair.

Or as we say in the networking world, it's a layer 8 error.

ATTENTION DESIGNERS OF CARS:

Please stop making vehicles go faster than I can walk. As a pedestrian, I feel intimidated.

You ever try clearing your cache?

Yes clearing my cache does work but then i have to clear it everytime i want to check if it is updated. I have a glaxaxy s7 edge with verizon unlimited plan, my tech is close to top teir so thats not the issue either.

Have you noticed that when there is high traffic in one of these guides that it starts to limit the tools you can use?

I did offer examples on how to fix the issue, wouldnt say im mad but very annoyed. The main problem isnt even the bug im experiencing its the lack of overall user friendliness that these guides end up creating. Also imo why arent they using websites in thr first place, you would think they want money from add revenue etc.

I genuinely never encountered that bug and at least 75% of my work related info is shared with that.

I feel this works in a office setting well. But im curious, do you post these documents publicly? And for that matter are there 1000s of people looking at your docs from all over the world? Thats part of my problem, google docs isnt really setup to handle wide scale publications. Its like an author publishing their book with google docs, just doesnt make any sense.

Odd, I use google docs and sheets for work on a few Android devices with no issue besides how clunky editing can be. I shall keep it in mind.

Really? Do I need to buy them windows and a pc to run it on too? Using google docs as a free writing program isn't the point of this post in the slightest. They can write their guides in whatever media they so choose, its how they publish their work that's important.

That's the entire point of using it. A single point of accessing documents through a secure and free website with a built in word processor, spreadsheet, etc. Mobile on the other hand is still maturing as a platform so there's going to be growing pains such as the rant you're describing.

Your issue then is paying 600€ for a shit piece of hardware and software from a shit company; not Google Docs, which works perfectly on my 4 years old shit Xiaomi. Try using a different browser.

Closing this thread as it's been horribly nonconstructive.
