Wow this is a big surprise! Did not expect them to announce SA so soon! We were just talking about this yesterday & BOOM, here comes the press release. Ok Pattihum, get yer mashed potatoes out ~ in spite of what Q3 says, I'm still holding out for a small drive-by tour of the southeast US!      How about Mexico City? I am keeping that in the back of my mind!  I suppose anything is possible. Most big tours go to Mexico after Texas or vice-versa. On the Game Tour (1980) they played Brazil, Argentina, Venezuela and Mexico. But they are not going to be playing Venezuela now.  They could do a close to the UK stop -- like Ireland or Spain. But what I was told is South America -- 3 countries: Brazil, Chile, Argentina -- and maybe South Africa. |

This the only date announced so far -- I am told they could not announce any other SA dates until this was announced. The other two expected dates are Buenos Aires and Chile. But Rock in Rio is why they are headed there. *** To anyone expecting a stop in the SE US, all indications are that is not in the cards and it is not on the way. I think that South Africa is possible. They will be "only" 5,000 miles away when they are in Argentina -- and they never will get closer. The other place they have not gone is to Spain or Portugal -- and it is "on the way". But that seem very unlikely. *** If I could add one stop to this world tour -- I would love them to play Shanghai. Oh Q3 STOP RAINING ON MY PARADE! I know there's only a slim chance they'll hit SE US, but let me have my fantasy!  Well since it snowed 9 inches in Beldon, MS today --- where my home is --- while I "only" got 6 inches where I work in Ohio --- anything is possible! And the pigs are flying! |

Q3 said the error is proboards problem. They are working on a fix. I get that on computer also. I will have to check Atop on my kindle. I usually use my old iPad, no problem with Atop but I never went to OS8 because it is too old. Read I would be sorry if I did it so I haven't  There is one error box that will show up here that the programmers are fixing. It will specifically reference Instagram -- and if you get it, just close the box. It looks like this but is white, not aqua.  If you are getting a different Javascript error, please PM what it says. Yea, I get that error on some devices and just click out of it. But, it is not the problem that concerns me the most as it doesn't seem to affect much. The problem that started this discussion was that on the Kindle Fire using the Silk browser (only browser available on the Kindle) Atop often displays with significant portions of the page display overlayed with big rectangular white boxes that completely covers the stuff underneath. Sometimes refreshing the page will get rid of it or will move it to a different place on the page. Usually, it takes 2-4 refreshes to get the part you want to see visible. And this has been a problem long before the Javascript error problem. I have the same problem on very new and older Kindle Fires. And a number of people report having the same problem in the replies above. The Javascript problem only came up when talking about Atop on iPads. |

Read I would be sorry if I did it so I haven't Hmm, must be a little more complex than just an Atop problem if Atop works fine in a fresh 8.1.3 OS install but not in an update to 8.1.3. Must be some extra or missing software on the updated device. How long have the Pro-Boards problems they are working on been a problem? I think the Atop problems with the new embedded capabilities started back in the early December 2014 Pro-Boards update. But my older Kindle Fire HDX 7", which I got last October, has had the same problems with Atop since last October that my new Kindle Fire HDX 8.9" device I got a couple of week ago has now. And my much older Kindle Fire HD had problems with Atop, and the Silk browser in general, starting Jan 2014 or so. I am only aware of one Javascript error with the Pro-Boards update and that is a code error on the automatically embedded Instagrams. That would have been in December 2014 -- I believe 12/12/14. It only occurs sometimes. ETA: The Kindle Fire/Silk has had issues with Javascript since they launched the product. That is a browser weakness and beyond my capacity to fix. |

I would try sideloading FireFox or Chrom on the Kindle Fire, but recent changes in the Google Play Store have made the old instructions for doing this unusable. Guess I need to complain loudly to Amazon, although I doubt it will help much. They seem to be deaf to everyone complaining about Silk being the only available browser and about the latest versions of apps not being available at Amazon when they are available at Google. |

They has so many complaints already -- does not seem that they can fix the issue -- goes back to 2011. *** I have a very inexpensive Android Tablet I got from Dell -- and have no issues with it. |

I have a cheap Android tablet also, but problem is my eyes have gone too myopic and I need a very high pixel density and high contrast display to be able to read without straining my eyes. That leaves iPads (which drives my crazy due to the lack of a file system), Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro or Note (rather expensive, but getting cheaper), and Kindle Fire (which I got for rather cheap on special). Otherwise, my Samsung Galaxy S5 phone is a good handheld choice, but rather small compared to the tablets. |
