Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    Still in development, but I think it's probably better to have a somewhat functional site for mobile sooner rather than later, bugs 'n' all.

    *** this is still in development ***

    That means it might not work with your device correctly, might not show things etc. It is stripped down, it is missing a lot of features; it is meant to give basic access to the forums, not replace the regular version :)

    I'll move this thread to the Development forum in a week or so, or if it hold up well and people are happy enough with it I'll stick it up as an announcement.

    Back to the computer! Nice job CuLT! Perhaps to put the footer in smaller text would be a good thing, also where it says "posted via mobile device", to have a new line automatically put after that....

    the posted via mobile tag might even be worth taking out, but it can be removed anyway. footer has to stay there and prominent due to vbulletins licensing policy afaik, but will look into it.

    Btw, I'm using m.boards.ie on my computer now.

    Just that the footer is in very big writing compared to the rest of the page. A quote button wouldn't be bad either.
    Once again, thanks CuLT.

    Nice job on the mobile interface, cult, I'll make good use out of it.

    +1 for the quote button. Other suggestions (seegin as we are in feedback), On the home page, replace the date with a short link to the forum).
    In the thread display a hyperlink to the same also would be nice.

    Very nice! 2 things:

    [*]Is there any way to get to a list of your subscribed forums (not just subscribed threads)? I can't spot it if there is. If there isn't any chance of one? For bonus points, an asterisk to indicated new posts. I assumed that's the way most people browse boards (as I can't imagine anyone would be instered in all the forums), but I must have assumed wrong!
    [*]Maybe break up the forum list, so that first tier is groups with forum counts in brackets.. 2nd tier shows any sub group (with forum count) and forum links. The forum list isn't all tha big in bytes, but is very long to navigate (I'm scrolling for ages on my e61). Again, though, that kinda assumes most people aren't interested in all the forums which could be wrong.

    Nice though!!

    Yep, subbed forums is on my to-do list;

    Forum list is big, but I'm thinking once the sublist is available it won't matter. Time and user feedback will tell on that one.

    Maybe pop a link to subbed.php somewhere in there. I use it all the time and find it quite useful.

    Looking at it in Opera Mini on a Sony Ericsson K800i, it seems a bit too wide - the right side of the "S" of "BOARDS.IE" is at the edge of the screen in default view and I've got to scroll right to see the whole page.

    That said, Opera can flip to landscape view, and it fits in perfectly then.

    Nice job. Good to see it. Now I can browse boards during quiet times in work (managing a bar at the moment). Look forward to seeing extra features added!

    Nice work here. Would it be possible to add a mobile link to the thread into subscription emails too? Makes it all the more useful on the phone then.

    My Archos 605 is 800x480 on a 4.3" screen so works with normal web sites. But the java menus are erratic and the page load time is huge compared with any other sites. Maybe some in compatibility with Opera?

    I'm off to try the mobile version... I'll try the E65 phone too.

    OK works on the Archos 605, but navigation faster / easier to use the ordinary site, apart from the bad page load time.

    Very fast loading

    i also don't like the posted via mobile device message at the end. Also, once or twice after i.ve made a post, i'm brought back to the desktop version of boards instead of the mobile version. Not sure why, it doesn't happen every time.
    Other than that i think it works quite well! And i'll defo make good use of it! :)

    Excellent,

    I was just thinking about a mobile version last week. I meant to suggest it but wasn't sure where I would do such a thing. Good to see the beta anyways.

    I had a lot of probs trying to post and send pm's with regular site on my mobile. Not really workable at all.

    Cheers lads, thanks very much.

    Interesting to hear that it's reverting back sometimes. Will have to consider what might be causing that.
