I use the full site, don't like the mobile version.

 

I'm curious what about it you don't like? I also want to here from others too.

 

 

 

I just got used to the full version using a computer and never cared for any mobile sites. I use full site on cummins forum or any other site I'm on too.

For me I still have my 8+- year old Casio G'zone flip phone that just keeps on ticking and it takes one heck of a licking too. Won't cave to a smart phone until this one is dead which seems like never, original battery and still only needs a charge twice a week.

 

Like I'm using a LG 236c TracFone it only cost $29 bucks but its Internet capable. I know that for some reason the Nav Bar is screwed up on my phone. I've been trying to hunt down the reason. I'm so limited on cell service it doesn't make any sense to having a Smart Phone if you don't have cell service. I've got may 3 miles of highway in Riggins, ID with cell service. Other than that I have 1 bar at work and that only 2 highway miles tops from Riggins, ID.

 

 

So in this case I don't have any means to truly test the mobile side of the site. I've asked for Smart Phone from people but for some reason I never get them. So the only thing I can do is emulate but that doesn't always work. So as you see I really don't have a way of testing the mobile side out properly.

 

 

So it does help for people to report thing that aren't right or simply broken. Like I need to make a report of the icon are missing.

 

Which I post here so they don't get lost. (Support Area)

I had the same phone for years Bill, it was a tough booger but finally started dropping calls.

So what are you not liking about the Mobile side?

Honestly, I don't know if I have ever even used the mobile site. I always just prefer the original version.

Go to the bottom of the page. On the left side is a option for different skins (Family or Mobile Family).

My smart phone is my computer. I am fine with the mobile version of the site. Works as well as most ony forum mobile. I get on my desktop maybe 5% of the time. Iphone is basically a small computer.

I use the mobile version a lot since I don't have reliable home internet and it works for me. The only complaint I have is the "view new content" option is gone from the menu. Other than that I think it's easier to read on a small screen.

Hua? It still there it might of moved but still there.

I agree with the comment. The mobile site is a PITA to do anything but casual reading on. I quit using it a long time ago, and have been meaning to ask if there is a user preference to never use it.

 

The few times I have used it there is zero apparent speed increase in loading pages, but a lot of the functionality of the site is gone.

I know it wasn't there as of ten minutes ago but now the menu is back to normal. Maybe I'm going crazy (or crazier?). Oh well can't complain about results.

I've been fighting the Classified button and Chat button for some reason it tears up the menu. Templates are missing and I'm trying to resolve this yet. Most likely something that went wrong during the server move.

The selection from what I understand is handle by the user-agent string of the browser. So if you browser user agent is stating its a mobile device then the the mobile skin is used. If you want  you can select Family and it should stay locked for that device. But I'm trying to find out what everyone is looking for is I can attempt to resolve as much as possible. I know some of it will require moving on to the next line of IPB software version 4.

Ever since the server move I noticed the menu that you have a picture of here has been buggy, right now it's working like it should but usually there are formatting/alignment issues with it. If it does it again for me I'll take a screen shot for you.

Like here is with the chat link enabled.

 

Bunch of dinosours or blind dudes on here. The mobile side is as good as any forum. I can switch to full site easy enough on my phone if necessary...like enlarging pics, etcetera . I've got a 6" screen though.

I hate to say it but older folks and new technology usually don't get along.

 

But that why I've started this thread I need to know what is missing what is needed. If there is something that needs to be fixed tell me I'll do what I can to resolve as much as I can between coding and plugins.

Excuse the mobile side mess. I'm working with IPB tech support to resolve the link issues.

Ok. Now the links are fixed I'm rebuilding the skin by hand again.
