My Gallery is Incorrectly Saying My Device is Too Small

Accessing my gallery from the "little man" icon at the upper-right of my browser window yields a message:

"Please use a larger device to manage your gallery.  Thank you."

But I'm using my workstation that has over 1 TB of free space available.

Yes, the "little man" is checked, denoting that I'm logged into my account.

I think it's a broken frammitz here on the site and not a problem in my browser.  Images included below...

Edit:  Windows 8.1, Firefox.  All other stuff is working correctly.

    It's usually referring to the size of the display, not the storage space on your system.

    I see.  I had to zoom out in my browser with ctrl and "minus" and then it worked okay. 

    Yet another inconvenience when using Windows font adjustments of +125% or +150%.

    Which is one of the things I do to make DAZ Studio readable.  None of this would be necessary if DAZ's UI were readable on a quality 24" monitor running at a resolution of 1920 X 1200.

     

    Edit:  Oh, and I forgot to say thank you; shame on me.  Thank you!

    No problem. I get the message whenever I try to manage my gallery or product library on my tablet. (Better resolution than my PC or laptop screens but much smaller.)

    Well, THAT'S rather rude!

    Your sure it isn't just a set up to a "that is what she said" joke?

    You could reply with 'it's not the size of the device that matters, it's how you use your device.'

    That always happens when I connect to the galleries using my ipad or iphone. What I usually do is keep one of the gallery comment emails and i can go directly to my gallery that way. But not on either of my handheld devices. Very strange.

    Damn, you stole my line!  (Although I was going to go for something a bit more self-effacing!)

    For what it's worth, I find it annoying when sites ignore the fact that my mobile browser tells it I want the desktop version of the site because the device can display it properly (my Acer Iconia tablet) and gives me the crippled version of the site anyway.

    Funny people!  Thank you for the laughs.  laugh

    Proper error messages are an art.  "Error 404" just doesn't cut it anymore. sad

    In your case the message could have benefited from one more word: "Your display device is too small".   Or even better "Your display area is too small".  It's what we get for pushing the beta as a deliverable or not hiring techs who know how to write.

    Interviewer: Do you use Facebook? Twitter? Mobile device?  on either or both?

    Tech applicant: Uhhh...sure!

    Interviewer: Next!
