Iron Heart Forum via Smartphone/Tablet
-
Giles and I decided to introduce an alternative to Tapatalk due to various reasons:
-
private message problems
-
no poll support
-
missing avatars ( except CorporalClegg's
) -
weird time stamps
-
link failures
To overcome those problems we introduce an optimized theme for smartphones and tablets of all kinds. Most mobile devices should be support (iPhone, iPad, Android phones, Android tablets, …). That's how it looks:
Just use your mobile browser of choice on your phone/tablet and visit the the Iron Heart Forum. Our forum will automatically detect you are coming from a mobile device and will switch to the optimized mobile theme.
If your device does not display the optimized theme, please post details about your device in this thread so we can fix this as soon as possible.
The only 2 downsides of the mobile theme are that there is no integrated image-upload (yet) feature and topic prefixes will not show. This will most likely be fixed in the future.
We hope you enjoy the new mobile experience! Finally working avatars.

Was wondering why Tapatalk showed the topics, but didn't load after clicking. The mobile version looks good. I'll miss the easy image upload, but that's about it.
Ps. Had to switch to full site to modify my post.

Ouch, can't say I'm thrilled about this. Tapatalk(even with it's issues) is a smoother experience IMHO. We'll see I guess.

If people hate it we can still switch back to Tapatalk, but let's see how the rest likes it.

Well, look at the bright side: this will cut my post volume by an order of magnitude, and my picture post volume entirely!

Are both possible? (I'm not a programmer)

I think that the loss of the image upload facility will have quite an effect on visual content, guys like D666 post just about all their images through Tapatalk.

yeah, i have been trying to send pictures in pm for over an hour on my iphone and didnt see this until now. i went so far as to remove tapatalk, reinstall it, then log in again. i guess this explains that.
i'm sure the mobile version you guys built is great, but the image upload on tapatalk was the number one reason why i used it. this is kind of a bummer. i personally really like tapatalk.
-
thanks! most of the pictures i post are via tapatalk so this is helpful.
-
Never thought I'd say this but so glad tapatalk is back. Kind of like forcing someone to use a PC after using a Mac for 10yrs.

THATS WHY I COULDNT BROWSE THE FORUM ALL DAY!! Quit dickin around

Is there a way to re-direct to the regular site on my iPad and iPhone?
I got a blank page when i responded to a pm after hitting the 'send' button so i assumed my reply had not been sent, tried several times again with the same non result.
After replying to the pm on my desktop pc, i discovered the message from my iPad had been sent after all.
I'd rather just use the desktop version on my iPad though. -
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 …
-
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.
