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.

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.

[xtcclassic]

^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.

[shoque]

Thanks for the feedback.

@Mich: What exactly happened when you wanted to send a PM?

[Seul]

When sending PMs through Tapatak, half the time it doesn't actually send the PM. It either gives a connection error, or it takes you back to the PM you were trying to reply to, but it didn't send the response…

I'm not sure that's what you're discussing, and this is of course not a problem you can fix, shoque, but maybe that's what Mich meant?..

[shoque]

We were discussing the new mobile theme when you visit the ih forum via browser on smartphone/tablet.

Regarding Tapatalk, installed an update a few days ago, might have been fixed, but they dont give you a log of what changed so I cannot say for sure. I gave up on error reporting because all they say is it works on their end, not a bug….

[Seul]

Ah yes, apologies. Carry on wiz, kids!.. (And all your help is always appreciated, shoque!..)

[Mich]

@shoque:

Thanks for the feedback.

@Mich: What exactly happened when you wanted to send a PM?

When i hit the 'send' button i got 'page:blank' a full white page and that was it, i could go back by hitting the back button on my browser, message was still there.
Tried to re-send several times, same result.

After replying to the pm on my desktop pc i found out the message i had sent via the mobile site had been sent after all, only once so not several times like you would expect because i'd hit the 'send' button about 4 times.
Hope this is of any help for you to try and solve it.

[shoque]

Very weird, did you use Safari?

[Mich]

Yes with Safari, also i had this problem where i would be thrown off the page being redirected to the forum index with about half the threads i tried to open.

Thanks, anybody else noticing that behavior?

[Chris]

Never had that problem, or the one with the PMs.  I've always used Android, so maybe it's only an Apple issue?
