Any chance of making this more mobile friendly?

There Is A Chance

Long ago i set the "device width" so that it fills the iphone screen properly, but haven't made any other changes. In my experience the main issue is links that are too small to click easily. I will eventually get to it, probably as part of converting the site to pure CSS instead of the table-based dinosaur it is now.

Please don't force a width, it is nice to be able to zoom the text to a comfortable size. Browsers can reflow...

#1915 posted by metlslime on 2015/08/03 18:01:28

it's already zoomable. Or is that broken in specific browsers or devices?

#1916 posted by Spirit on 2015/08/03 18:11:24

oh it works fine here, I misread you. Not sure what it is but for most sites "mobile friendly" is a synonym for "WE MAKE OUR TEXT REALLY BIG AND DISABLE ZOOMING OUT" so I was totally triggered by that suggestion.

#1917 posted by metlslime on 2015/08/03 18:42:46

ah, i get it now. Yes, that is highly irritating.

#1918 posted by necros on 2015/08/03 18:58:12

ahhh well, i don't have anything specific in mind, except making the links at the top easier to click, as well as the last 25, new, etc...

that would implicitly mean larger text though.

Agreed

The only problem I have on my phone is hitting the links. Maybe justtext is a touch small, but not by much.

#1920 posted by mwh on 2015/08/04 09:03:28

Also I suck at typing

#1921 posted by necros on 2015/08/04 22:05:47

The body text is actually larger than the links :P

#1922 posted by metlslime on 2015/08/04 22:58:51

yeah, i agree.

I think the reason for this is i define some things in points and others in pixels. Phones typically auto-scale text that was defined in points, but leave the pixel ones alone.

I think the original reason some things were defined in pixels is that there are some HTML 1.0 font sizes that weren't representable in points, so when i converted the font stuff to CSS a long time ago i used pixels to preserve the appearance.

Weirdness When There Is One New Post Vs More Than One New Post

chrome browser on android 5

so, the browser auto-scales the text when there is only one reply, but doesn't auto-scale it when there are multiple replies?

#1929 posted by Spirit on 2015/08/10 21:18:15

Get Opera, it is the only remaining android browser with usable text reflow. The others went insane.

#1930 posted by necros on 2015/08/11 00:33:14

ummm I thought so, but then I saw this thread which had 2 new and the reply font was larger while the post body font was normal. so.. uh no clue now.

like i said, weirdness. :P

What would be nice is a way to see all your threads/posts, and maybe replies to threads you posted in somehow. If it is already possible then I sure as hell can not find it. Maybe under the lift *goes looking*

Not Possible Yet
