New Mobile Version

[Andy-YPC]

If you look at the bottom left of the forum, you will see a new drop down box. This has two options
1) Talkpaintball Default - This is the standard forum, big, bloated and full of colour and pictures.
2) Talkpaintball Mobile - This is a hugely cut down version of the forum specifically designed for mobile divices like iphones etc.

Any problems, just post up.

Can't change back to default style, is there a way changing back?

Update..
We've been keen to get this mobile version up and running properly for some time now.
We have pretty much been waiting for technology to catch up with what we wanted to do.

Anyway, I think we've finally got it sorted.

The new mobile version should now auto detect that you are on a phone (Mobile Divice) and automatically put you onto the mobile version. This cut down mobile version of the forum is about 1/10th of the size of the full fat PC version.

If you have some kind of mega phone, and simply must view the forum in all it's glory whilst sitting in your car or on the lavvy, then simply go to the top right of the screen and click "Non Mobile Style"

Obviously this is very new and will probably have more holes than a block of swiss cheese, but lets see what happens.

Any feedback would be most welcome.

Very nice, user friendly layout. Ease of use. Consider I acess the site more from my phone than I do my pc I'm pleased with the new UI :)

Edit: just 1 minor point, when you switch to non mobile version and then click a thread it auto reverts back to mobile version. Once you click non mobile version shouldn't it stay like that unless you manually revert back or leave the site then return?

Seems great to me!, is there an easy way to check your PM's in the mobile version?

[Doddy]

PMs are easy to get to, just click user cp them messages voila!

That's an interesting point. The software autodetects that you are on a mobile divice and sets the style automatically, I'll do some tests to see if I can sort it.

Sorry, my bad, the red flashing "New PM" only comes up when you have a new PM.
Just go into User CP.

It's quite ironic actually, it took me 2 hrs to work out completely the opposite. The forum went from mobile to default when you clicked on a link. I sorted that, but it's had the opposite effect.

I suppose for speed, you just zip around the cut down version until you get to a page you want to view in default, then it jumps back fast mode again.

It's something to look at ongoing ->

Arrrrrgggghhhh. Autodefect is doing my head in. Just spent last 15 mins trying to get off home page.

Thanks andy! actually thats even better, as now i can just quickly check when i have PM's without having to go into the menu ( opera dosnt like the stranded notification system xD)

This ^^ is annoying lol. :(

[Beano]

Agreed with the annoying-ness.

Don't get me wrong, it's great that you've done the mobile version and it's very fast and tidy. I prefer the full site though.

I revert to the non mobile version and as soon as I search for New Posts, I'm back to the mobile site :(

Great idea but defeats the object of my smart phone lol

[Doddy]

I know a lot of time and effort has gone into creating the mobile version but have you had a look at tapatalk?

Not every one has a smart phone Peter Piper, like me :p so the mobile version is good in my eyes!

No-one is saying the mobile version isn't good, we just prefer the full site :D it would be amazing if the mobile style was optional.

[Andy-YPC]

It's all in hand.
As with everything we do, expect something exceptional in the next few days.

[Cosford]

Cool :) the mobile version is nice, I'm just too used to the normal :p

[Andy-YPC]

Ok, this version of the mobile forum has now been filed under "B".
Tried to do it on the cheap, cheap things don't work properly....So........................!!!!

See new sticky!!
