    Yeah, I can't operate the links from my android phone either. I had to bookmark the forums to get here.

    I don't have any problems. I am using a Nexus 5 with KitKat and using Chrome. Site runs like butter. I used to have a Nexus One with Gingerbread and the Dolphin browser, and I had issues. Not so much with links, but slow loading and responses that killed using it on my phone.

    The forums work great too other than you don't get the WYSIWYG editor, so I have to use BB Code to add my special colors. :)

    Never has been... I downloaded it and set it as my default a while ago so I didn't know about this issue with the built in browser.

    It is now, but only on Jellybean and higher on stock devices. Before that there was an application called Browser that was the default. Also non-Google device manufactures may not make it the default either if they customized Android to that point. Always go with a Nexus device or a manufacture that does not use a customized Android version (like ASUS or Motorola). Samsung and HTC should be avoided just for that reason.

    Normally it would ask when you go to launch a site and it sees more than one application. However, you can clear the default setting and reset it this way:

    In this case you would probably looks for you default browser application and clear the settings then open Chrome which should then ask and allow you set a different default.
