If you are viewing DBF on your phone, and you have a modern smart phone like an iPhone or Galaxy, I recommend you switch from mobile/standard view and "view website in desktop mode". I've worked long, and hard, to reprogram this site to display properly on phones. That said, if you have a glitch you've noticed, take a screenshot and post it. You need to include your model of phone so I know what I'm dealing with. Also, FYI, if your iPhone isn't running iOs 4.2 or newer, apparently the fonts won't work, so make sure to do that update whatever it is and however you do it.  Tip for adding attachments from your phone: If you want to use your phone to post photos you've taken, but don't want to deal with the trouble of resizing pics... take the photo at your normal large size, then go to your gallery on your phone, and then take a screenshot of that photo. That way you won't have to use an app or go through a lot of trouble. |

You shouldn't need to unless Desktop mode doesn't function right on your phone or other mobile device.

Question, is there a way to possibly make the replying to comment much easier? Like when I tried to reply to you right now where you quoted like 3/4 people, I couldn't just scroll down by swiping. I had to hold until the magnifying glass popped up and then go down, slowly.

Annoying as hell but it's a problem on Apple's side. |

iPad, but since it always worked for me on dbt I thought it just hadn't been added here. I guess I was lucky that it didnt happen to me then?

Gohan, do me a favor and try downloading the Chrome app and doing the exact same task you're having a problem with using it. Chrome and Safari are both webkit browsers, but Chrome is more progressive with more frequent updates and improvements. Let me know if that fixes it or if it's still a problem.
Those of you with Android phones ( like me) shouldn't need to use Chrome most likely. The Android internet browser is working just fine for me and so far others.

Are you talking about the ability to quote multiple people on your phone and then having trouble scrolling down in the reply box to write your comment below the 2nd or 3rd quote? If so, I can't do anything about that, and that is a problem on Android phones too. I solve it by turning my phone sideways which makes the box bigger, putting my cursor underneath the quote, turning my phone again, and typing like normal.

So far I've put in 48.25 hours of work into this site over the past 10 days Bug reports about things not fitting the screens of iPhone 4 & 5 or Android phones from the last 2 years are pretty much the only criticism I'm going to welcome at this point. |

Yea I was referring to that, it's all good though. It's not that much of a pain. Dayum! You're one dedicated man, that's for sure.

I need to. All the crap I've been doing has been causing me a lot of job stress. I'm pretty irritable!

I adjusted the code a little bit, so those of you who use the site on your phones and tablets should hopefully have a little easier time clicking the navigation buttons at the top now. I added some vertical space between links for screen sizes where they form two or three rows of links. Thanks to Gohan for bringing this to my attention, as I wasn't having trouble with it until coincidentally today when I was having a hard time clicking my "Messages" link on my phone today without zooming in and clicking it. I've also increased the size of the page numbers (for when you are looking at a multi-page topic or using the Recent Posts link at the top) and spaced them out a little bit for phone users. Let me know if this helps or hurts your experience here. If it hurts your experience, show me a screenshot and explain why. In addition to those numbers, I also enlarged and spaced out the page numbers for when you look at topics via Recent Threads or via each section of the forum. It's not the greatest looking, but at least now you don't HAVE TO zoom in in order to click the right page number via your phone. Again, let me know if this helps/hurts your experience here as I have not tested this for more than 5 seconds. Also, I can increase the spacing between the page numbers for tablet users too if you guys mention it to me. I don't want to increase the size of the numbers too much for y'all, but the spacing can be done. Just let me know if you want it. |
