On a Mobile Browser

vividpixel · 06-10-2024, 12:35 PM

Update: Like magic, it's fixed. I guess it was one advertisement not playing nice, maybe? But in general, I think this forum is long due for an update for the sake of usability, mobile and otherwise.

Here's how ChinaRiders currently renders on a mobile browser:

Specifically, Firefox 126.2 on iOS 17.5.1.

It's also always been difficult to compose a post on mobile, weird glitches and not being able to see your entire composition window without scrolling around. Is there any hope of ever seeing either a vBulletin upgrade, or a conversion to a modern free software that has mobile friendliness built in? I'm not big on doing things on my phone, but it makes a lot of sense that people want to access and participate in this type of forum while they may be away from a desktop or laptop.

What about MyBB? Or maybe we can get a mobile-friendly layout for the current version of vBulletin?

Not on my mobile browser. Seems more an iPhone thing...

@ProDigit, you seem to have skipped the first line of the post. I updated to report the problem was resolved about 10 hours prior to your reply.

Regardless, wouldn't we want the forum to work for iPhones anyway, considering Apple has over 50% market share in the USA?

When I'm browsing on mobile (Android) I use Adblock Browser because the ads on here break the hell out of things.
