Mobile 'site?

Cynric,

The old 'site had a good menu-driven mobile site for low-bandwidth connections, which I used to use quite a bit.

Is there a plan for a similar thing associated with the current 'site?

Yes, I am evaluating a couple of options either tapatalk or a mobile template, but i need to let the dust settle before doing anything

Please keep us posted when you do do these tweeks as I keep up to date a lot on my mobile too ........no rush though :)

Yep, it's useful for us on planet Nokia too. It was an open question though Cynric; it's just useful functionality to look forward to.

Not actually a prompt...!

Ok I have uploaded a mobile friendly style to use
Just go down to the theme selection at the bottom of the page, click blue
change theme1.JPG

and select Mobile stop

change theme2.JPG

To revert do the reverse. there is no automatic detection (yet), but it is a painless way of getting a mobile friendly forum.

Cynric,

I tried using this again today after trying to post from my phone on a couple of occasions over the last few weeks. It's not working for me - either the text box doesn't come up, or I can't type into it. And yes, I am logged in (I can see the Members Area and the buttons below the text box are appearing okay).

On a positive note, the 'site/phone does now seem to remember that I'm logged in from session to session (which the old one didn't).

The 'phone is a Nokia E-series (Symbian OS).

I'm not sure to be honest it is a bit of a lash up. The site relies on some Ajax and it is a bit flaky on an iPad hopefully something will come along although Tappa talk is an option it costs a couple of quid, but I will look into it

Cynric,

Thanks for your posting, it's good to know what I should be expecting! I can at least read the forum much easier than the old format and that's plenty good enough for me ;)

I will do green when the next point release happens, which should be in a couple of months. I will also introduce thread prefix for resources to get it organised at the same time
