Pepe - is there a mobile option for OMT? I've seen a few indications that someone out there has a mobile-friendly MyBB theme.

Would be handy.

... nope!

I can't say I have much inclination to make one at the moment either 😆

The current themes work fine on iPhones apparently.

Right this place is shit. I'm off! 😉

Ok, just in case you change your mind, I had a quick look and found this http://www.mybbgm.com/download.php

MyBB GoMobile is a free plugin & theme combo designed to automatically direct mobile users to a theme more suitable for mobile devices. The plugin redirects users based on their User Agent string, thus we cannot guarantee every device will be redirected automatically. In the event that you discover such a device, please report it on our forums and we will do our best to fix the issue for the next release.

Some of GoMobile's features include:

  • Automatic switching to the mobile theme when a mobile device is detected;
  • Ability to temporarily or permanently disable the mobile theme;
  • Mobile theme formatted to allow for easy usage when viewing from smaller screens;
  • Better-scaled text to make clicking links and such easier from your device;
  • Simple theme allows for easy adjustments where necessary;
  • GoMobile includes it's own language file so translating and multi-language support is a breeze (currently there are no language packs available besides English, the default);
  • And many more unlisted features designed to make your mobile browsing experience an awesome one!

That'd be nice if it's possible. I've got a Blackberry and reading from there is a nightmare as you can't see a whole line of text when the writing gets big enough to read. Scrolling from side to side for each and every line is kind of long at times.

I'll add it to my list. I don't mean for y'all to think I'm ignoring you deliberately (just unintentionally!), but I've a full time job at the moment and am doing a redesign on another site in my free time.

I also have this idea for a bad-ass, grand new theme for OMT stuck in my head, which I hope to build next time I'm at a loose end...

No worries mate. No one's perssuring you. It was just a suggestion you could think about whenever you manage to find the time mate.

a mobile version of this site would be great. i'd be willing to help, if needed.

That does indeed look like something worth checking out.

I really have no problems at all being on the forum on my HTC Desire HD. There is nothing I can´t do from there really. It has a bigger screen than the Iphone which helps I suppose, but is this really an issue?

I'm planning to set some time aside this weekend to look after my various web projects - I'll try to squeeze this in too.

Did you get a chance to look into that at all Pepe?

Haven't forgotten about this - just doing 13/14 hour days at the moment and don't much fancy spending my 'me' time staring at readmes!

I've a smartphone now myself so one of these saturday mornings I'll be hungover and motivated. Having Christmas season chores like making the cake doesn't really help though.

hopefully tapatalk is simple to implement and does the trick in terms of functionality and aesthetics.

another thing that would be cool for the forum in general is a "like" button. no more need for "qft", "lol", or such posts. sometimes you want to acknowledge a lol created without quoting and replying to it, and making people scroll through it.

That'd only work if it kept a list of the people who'd "liked" a post as well as the number of likes. Otherwise people would just post anyway, seems to me.

thats what most forums have. if anyone "likes" your post, thered be a list of those people at the bottom of it. i guess fb does the same thing. anyway, not really crucial at all.
