Title: Phone version of the MB
Post by Nicola on 11/07/12 at 00:47:30

I doubt this is possible since Yabbis a rather old board, but I'm still asking just to make sure.
There is no way to have a version of this board optimized for phones, right?

Get everyone to delete their useless, giant signature images.

Actually, I was asking about that exactly because those images are too big for a phone screen ;D
I like this MK rankings banner but there are many I've never liked in forum sigs.

you could disable sigs when you’re on the phone or whatever

... then enable them again when you log into the board on a computer... before disabling them again when using a phone? What a waste of time.

better than not being able to browse… :-/

and you could always keep them disabled, some people do that

I don’t know how to disable them but it’s possible on every forum so why not here

You're part of the problem Darkroy, lol.

If you're absolutely dying to get your MB fix just disable all images.

Sshhh... don't release this top secret information and make me look like a complete idiot! :D

Nah, actually I know about some forums who have a very nice skin when viewed from mobile phones. You don't have to zoom in or out, it's stretched automatically., and it makes reading posts way easier. But I guess that kind of skin can't be implemented here.

I'm afraid the code base hails from before the days when smartphones were invented.

The best you can do is disable images. Or perhaps the naughty, selfish, unthinking people will be nice enough to remove their giant signatures on their own accord.

How about we just shrink the max height of the signature area so the big images will all be hidden inside the scrolling parts.

Well, that wouldn't eliminate the problem of text being too little on phones.

Thanks for the answers ;) I'll remove my banner to make my life easier, but I don't want people to remove theirs just for a few people who visit the board from their phone.

Does your phone have a small screen (for a phone)? I haven't had a problem with small letters before... well, I just zoom anyway.

I use a Samsung Galaxy S2. I can read well if I zoom in, but I constantly have to scroll around. If I hold it horizontally it gets better.

I have that. Scrolling, yes... perhaps changing the font style may help with readability.

After reading this thread, ive decided to make my next sig thrice the size of my current one.

I can access it from my iPhone easily, it's in the computer format though. However, lately I haven't been able to log in on my phone, but I stay logged in over the computer (phone uses 3G to connect). Any reason for that?

Clear your data/cache? My phone does that sometimes if I try to log into the MB through my Android. Clearing my data/cache does the trick.
