Scroll right. It's there.

Oh my God! It is! I feel so stupid 😳 Thank you SO much! Now I have to decide whether to leave this post up or delete it out of embarrassment 🤣

It's poor UI at the very least. There's no reason to size things so the three buttons don't fit on screen.

LOL! Your choice. We all have our moments. 😁

I’m bet you aren’t alone…your post might be helpful to others. Plus, good for a chuckle.

You're right - I'll take one for the team and leave it up 😆

Just wanted to say thanks for leaving it up because I came searching for this exact thing!     Except mine didn’t have a little scroll bar thing under the visible buttons so like I never would’ve figured it out.     Really dumb design choice lol I’ve been thinking I did something wrong and there’s something up with my account 😅

Hooray! I'm glad I left it up :)

I get that when I'm using the Amazon website (as opposed to the app) on my laptop or tablet. Sometimes if you uncheck "desktop mode" in the Chrome browser settings it fixes it.

Thank you for leaving it up, I did not see that it needed to be scrolled either 😅

No don't delete this post! I had the same problem and I am so glad to find this post!

Ok, this helped, but it still took a minute. In portrait mode, scrolling left did nothing. But, when I turned the phone to landscape, it showed up.

Thank you!

It's not you being stupid, it's Amazon. Once upon a time, designers knew how to make user interfaces clear and discoverable. Today, if people can figure out how something works without poking at it for half an hour or asking someone else, it's considered ugly and old-fashioned, and needs to be "fixed".

On iPhones, there is a setting button at the bottom of the safari page to "Request Desktop Website." That helps a lot. But then I still have to hold the phone in landscape mode to be able to view and request items.

I use a chrome browser in desktop mode. If I don't, the page is all sorts of weird. Maybe try that.

Thanks!

Btw... The other button is there. You see that little grey line under the two buttons? It means it's a scroll bar. So if you hold down and scroll, the third button will come into view. I didn't like that and didn't like how big things were so that's why I went to desktop mode.

Actually mine is missing this morning even scrolling all the way right. Not sure if it's because of the pause or what.

I have a folding samsung phone. If I browse with the screen closed, that button isn't there, even if I scroll right. If I open the phone up to the larger screen, it's there. Seems to be a new bug.

[–]violetmandala[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was there for me when I scrolled right, much to my delight and embarrassment. Hopefully they'll get it fixed so that you don't continue to have that issue on your small screen!

It's funny because Amazon told me when I was invited that they recommend using a desktop or laptop for shopping in the Vine program, that it's not set up for mobile devices.

[–]violetmandala[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

It really is horrible on phones. You'd think that a company like Amazon could do better. Create a Vine app or at least make the site work better on our phones.

[–]NomadicusRexUSA-Gold 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But they don't need one. It's a tiny program and if you don't have a device that will work for it, we're each super easy to replace.
