[Misc] Mobile version of NSC...

Titanic said:

Basically really good... and a massive improvement on the recently *******ised Tapatalk.

One thing that would be nice would be to see quoted posts. Is this a setting somewhere or something that could be changed @Bozza?

You can change the theme you use to view NSC in the very bottom left of every page, where there is a drop-down.

Your phone should 'remember' the theme you have chosen - my iPhone does and it always renders me in 'mobile' anyway.

You can permanently change the theme you use here: http://www.northstandchat.com/profile.php?do=editoptions - although I admit I'm not entirely sure how this interacts with the forum default, which is now 'Modern'.

A quick note on using the mobile version: you'll notice some thread titles are under-lined and if you tap one you'll get a list of other threads with underlined titles. This is where people have selected a category for the post. Tapping on the name activates the filter and returns all threads of the same category. To open the thread, use the arrow on the right hand side which should take you to the first unread post you have in that thread.

The current mobile theme is OK, but it's not brilliant. Now Tapatalk is such a clusterf*ck, I'll be looking for a better mobile theme over coming days, so expect it to change, but for the better.

I keep getting randomly thumbed by people.




In other, unrelated news, people sometimes like/dislike my posts on NSC even though I can't see an option for it?

Simster said:

Me too. Why are some people able to see a thumbs option when you and I are clearly not?

Tapatalk now Keeps welcoming me with a Happy Holidays opening page which does not go down well with me given I have been working for the last three weeks or so.

Don't forget the NFL player at the top of the page

That will change. The NFL picture is the default 'sports' category picture that Tapatalk applied to all sites that had chosen the site category. The latest version of their software allows sites to have a custom image. I've provided one in my Tapatalk admin panel - it's just waiting for some sort of update at Tapatalk's end for that to show to people using the app.

What's disappointing is that Tapatalk did seem to have this market to themselves. ForumRunner, which performed a similar function, seems to have been abandoned now. Instead of offering tweaks to optimise the app for those using it, they seem to have gone down the path of a complete reinvention that genuinely is much worse than what they offered before.

There's a mobile version?

I need to wake up then. Tapatalk has been driving me nuts lately.
