Iron Heart Forum via Smartphone/Tablet

I don't like how it wouldn't let me 'request desktop view' on my android, kept me in the mobile site which I'm trying to give a chance but need some easing into.

Mich, on the iPad (and I guess this will apply to the iPhone as well) you should find a "show full site" button all the way at the bottom …

[shoque]

Sorry, thought that was not needed so I removed this button. Will re-add later today.

[Mich]

I'd already checked that Furatto, it was my first assumption, but it doesn't.. or i must be overlooking something.
What's worse is i now noticed when i want to view a page, most times i get thrown off and am redirected to the forum index.
I've also looked in the menu but couldn't find the 'full site' option anywhere.

Okay shoque, just read your reply.
Much appreciated!

[shoque]

Done.

[shoque]

Will also add "back to mobile theme" in the "full theme".

[Mich]

Thank you sir!

[shoque]

"Mobile Page" link added.

[shoque]

Working on a simple image upload feature for the mobile theme now.

@shoque:

If you click the circle on the top right of your post, you will get a menu with a few options like  "modify":

Tried that and it said that I wasn't authorized to start a new post.  Tried twice to make sure I was hitting the right button.

[shoque]

Sorry, not top right, top right above your post. Works fine on iOS and Android.

[shoque]

Added further enhancements, like "Go to page" also in the top area rather than just at the bottom.
The right arrow next to a topic now links to the last post.

Anything else that might be useful (besides image upload)?

…AND HERE I WAS ALL DAY CUSSING APPLE AGAIN.... and then I see this thread.... I switched it back to regular screen mode. Not really diggin how it stretched all my pictures to weird sizes or the navigation, but appreciate the efforts involved to try to give us a better experience nonetheless.

[shoque]

^ Yeah it is should really by viewed in widescreen mode due to the nature of the pics that are getting posted here.

No bueno. Please tell me there's a way to have it default to the desktop version. This will drive me crazy.

read the above posts and you'll find your answer!

What's wrong with the mobile theme that some of you guys don't like it? it basically has the same features as the desktop version, it's just a little bit different.

Please let me know ASAP so I can work on fixing it.

[Mich]

Other than that sending pm's didn't work properly with me, there's nothing wrong with it imo, i guess it's just a matter of preference.
I tend to use the desktop mode on all forums i'm active on, there are a number of sites on which the mobile version functionality is truly horrible.
Appreciate the effort, and i'm sure there are lots of users who welcome this new theme, when people have nothing to complain you just don't hear them i guess.

^This. As long as I can opt out once and not every time (and it appears I can), then I have no problem with it. It might make more sense on a smartphone, but I usually access the forum on an iPad, and the desktop version is fine on a tablet. The mobile version just seems annoying IMHO, but I'm sure it makes more sense on a smartphone.
