Title: Mobile version of site for phones?
Post by: suboxstitute on October 10, 2015, 11:06:39 PM
Sorry if the answer is looking me right in the face (I just noticed that when I posted "how do I adjust my time zone",there was a thread sitting there a couple of days before I asked... duh).  Anyway now that I've done that...

I'm on a pc right now but am usually on my iPhone. 

How do I get to/is there a mobile view/version of the site?  I looked at the bottom of the screen couldn't see it.

Thanks in advance.

I don't think there is, but I could be wrong. 

Can't you use the regular site on your iPhone?  Or is it just easier to use a mobile version?

Yeah just hard to read  I'm not a big fan of tapatalk but I do like to use the "mobile view" or whatever when a site has it; easier to scroll, easier to read, etc.  No big deal

there are no additional "Themes" as i am keeping it simple and easy to modify.

you have to try different browsers to see what works best for you.

maybe later.

I think i will tag this question on the end of this thread because i am on my phone 100% of the time. 

One thing that made a world of difference is how many threads and replies i could see on a page. I think at assholes world i had it maxed out to like 100 replies a page. I would love it so much if i didnt have to click on the next number after what seems like only a few replies. I have looked around and cant find a place to choose that but if there is one can someone point it out to me. T;anks DnU Crew!

I haven't found something suitable but it's on the list.

there is nothing specific - you can try other browsers if one is letting you down.

I find chrome on android most satisfactory ... not you ?

Chipper, how about instead of different themes, you just install the Tapatalk plugin for SMF? Tapatalk is available for Android and iOS, and offers a great way to browse forums.

Thom, go to your Profile.  Then click on Modify Profile.  Then click on Look and Layout.  Scroll down, and there are 2 options to alter the number of threads and messages displayed.  You can choose up to 50.  It doesn't go higher than that. 

Also, if you're confused, topics = threads.  It'll say Topics to Display Per Page, but it means Threads to Display Per Page.

i am reluctant to put this mod onto our live environment as it involves another site lookup ... i tried it on the QAT system (smfnew) so i did give it a good go.

i am putting this on hold and am revisiting it later.

sorry but i don't like the way it works at this stage.

I am fine with this because I use
Android and Chrome.
Not sure how that works on the iPhone but they are usually better. In most cases mho
