mobile view of the forum - jaybreak - 12-17-2023
Looking at our metrics, there's a decent chunk of us that access the site on a phone. Those of you who do that, is the forum difficult to use, at least compared when you access on a full screen computer? I've been thinking of doing some minor work with the widths of things and the font sizes, so that if you're on a mobile device, there will be less squinting/zooming in and scrolling. I notice I have to do that a lot when I check things out on my phone, especially in portrait mode.

Just so you know, I use my phone to do anything on the internet about 5% of the time. He he Sooooo...... obviously not a problem for me. Most of mine is laptop or tablet use.

I am also not one of your phone users. I do it rarely on my phone, but I can tell you that I have to turn my phone sideways to read the forum.

And you're comfortable using the forum with those devices, I assume?

This is what I wanted to avoid needing to happen. My phone is the same way: portrait mode is horrid, so I need to go landscape to avoid scrolling side to side constantly to read.

On my phone, it's simply the text is too small.

I use it 98% of the time on my computer monitor.

Ed/anyone who uses a phone to access the forum: I made some adjustments to widths and font sizes, both for the site at large and for the mobile view. Let me know if anything doesn't look better, or if anything looks worse. Thanks.

Looks pretty good as I post this reply from my phone.
