gogoblender 3,042 Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Hi everyone This is a big wave going on now through the net with sites... It's always taken me by surprise to read that members are already very often using phones, ipads, or wi fi to access the sites on smaller screens. If you're a member of the community that is accessing us this way, can you please post? We'd like to know if this is your primary or secondary way of using the site...if we see enough peeps are now reading us via mobiles, we can put some work into creating skin that reads better on smaller screens. And.. how do the sites look anyways now on mobiles... smooth enough to actually make a post on.. or something that makes you want to throw your hands up in frustration till you get home? Do screens load up fast, or are they quick enough? Do you find yourself changing skins to get quicker response? gogo Link to comment
locolagarto 15 Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 I use my Motorola Droid to log in whenever I am out and away from a PC. I typically will switch to the IP.Board skin to easy the load times and the readability of the small screen. Otherwise the the site looks great. Link to comment
dreeft 9 Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 I use an iPhone, but Loco speaks for me as well. There are unnecessary amounts of loading with the standard skin, but it's useable. I believe it is possible to add iPhone connectivity to IPB (Like this), which would be pretty cool. Link to comment
Furian67 14 Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Diddo, I use my iPhone 4 to access both the sites, Wiki and forum, more often than I use the PC. Some detailed info I will wait till I get home to use the PC as my screen that I use to "make a post" is small and tends to be a bit more difficult to use. I also don't use any Emoticons when I make posts on my iPhone unless I have them memorized. So far that would be just one When on 3G my phone loads fast enough for me to search and do most anything I want on both sites. And when I get into a wifi signal it will load almost as fast as my PC does. I have been iPhoning the sites for more than a year now and it has sped up considerably since I first joined.

Dragon Brother 619 Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Well, I use my iPhone everyday on the bus and train to keep up with whats happening and dont have any issues browsing the site. Using the sterling sacred skin can be a bit slow sometimes if my network is running slow, but IP.Board pro solves that easily Although that iPhone thing dreeft mentioned for the board might be cool.

Delta! 985 Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Sorry about bringing this topic back to life, but I use my Nokia N97 for a lot of posts, mostly in Related word game, and if I have decent reception 3G or HSDPA, it loads fast, without those, it takes quite some time. but I have no complaints.

lujate 572 Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Almost exclusively. The mobile skin moves really fast. Link to comment
gogoblender 3,042 Posted September 30, 2011 Author Share Posted September 30, 2011 I wish my blackberry had a bigger screen. IT's a tiny little Pearl, so not that much to view stuff on, mostly use it for texting and reading emails. I can see how forum viewing can get addictive from a phone though, it's basically just a aspread sheet with topics running down. hmmm I hear walmart has galaxy's on sale for 58.00 gogo Link to comment
Dragon Brother 619 Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Hehe...my next phone will have a 4.3" screen...might not need the mobile skin if its that large, hopefully it fits in my pockets though :s Link to comment
Flooxim 49 Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 I now login on the forum with my mobile everytime I have a few minutes, and I have no complaints about the mobile version of the forum. It works pretty fast and I never noticed real problems. Max Link to comment
Stormwing 40 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Well, whaddaya know. Never answered this topic, although I use to browse the site on mobile every now and then. So far no complaints. The default skin looks all fine and dandy. Though I just noticed the Halloween skin acts up a little. At least on my GS2's default browser. The top banner is somewhat cut before the exclamation mark and the rest is on "the next line", so to speak. Shoulda check it on some other browser just for the heck of it. Link to comment
