Hi Ernestine
The reason you can't access your artist account from mobile is this:
">> for shopper accounts only, NOT artist accounts"
It's in Mindy's post above.

Cheryl

Thanks Cheryl, I didn't catch that. But I WAS able to to log into "artist" on the iPhone before with the regular site before, now the iPhone won't go to the regular site. No "biggie" though, just can't post to the forum from iPhone, (or am I missing something?).

As to Sandra's comment, I don't think this is an APP, but a mobile configuration. Would be a good idea to BE an APP though as there are a ton of other greeting card apps available. Then we could all give it a high rating and move it to the top! Grin

A spiffy addition to GCU's online presence; my Android phone was hesitant at first to make the change-over, which I attributed to refinements still being implemented, and indeed, after awhile, the process became automatic (and fast!). Well done!

At the bottom of the page on the mobile site is an option to be redirected to the full site, where all functions are complete and available. The mobile versions of web sites (at least that I've noticed) all seem to have this feature, usually at the very bottom.

Correct, this is not an App but a mobile version of our site to help those mobile smart phone users shop with ease

Accessing GCU via the iPad should be not different and should not launch the mobile version of the site.

For Ernestine since the redirect is automatic, you can still access the traditional (non-mobile) site, please see below.

Artist accounts can log in but only have functionality or options that a regular shopper has. Artists should only be using the mobile version to buy cards not perform artist specific tasks. There is a link in the footer of the mobile version that says Full Site and in the footer of the regular version (when viewing from a smart phone) that says Mobile Version.

As for a GCU App, it is in discussion.

Announcing live this week, GreetingCardUniverse.com mobile.

So if you have a smart phone (iPhone, iTouch, Droid, Blackberry, etc.) give it a try and let us know what you think or if you run across anything that doesn't seem to be working properly.

GCU artists selling mobile, nice! Cheesy

I usually go directly to the full site, but after a reboot on my phone (Android), I saw (and admired again) the mobile site, and I noticed that the holiday suggestions on the home page, which are in a group of three, seem to be lagging. Just now, I saw a card for Passover (April 19th), one for Secretary's Day (April 27th), and one for Cinco de Mayo (coming up in two days). Thought you'd want to know.

Hi Sandra,

Not sure what do youApple Accessories mean by "not coming up on the iPad"? On the iPad, it should work just like your computer, not a mobile phone. The iPad screen is bigipad cases enough to show the full site, so we didn't want to limit it to the mobile view. The GCU site looks great on my iPad, so I'm a ipad cases leather little confused what you may be referring to.

Thanks,
Nasser

I haven't been able to download it. In the IPad, I am searching under the App Store. Is it listed in the App Store itself on the IPad?
