Forum App?

I have an iPhone 5s with a small screen and part of my problem is I have huge chunky hobbit fingers. So the first thing that happens when I login is the chat pops up and I cannot get it to close, I could use a stylus but if I get it to close if I even tap near it again it opens right back up. Then the forum when I try to click on that does not show up correctly and I have to scroll through pages and pages to get to look at any of the recent forum posts.

It might just be me too. It just seems to not be very user friendly on my screen. On my iPad and of course on my labtop I have no problems.

Roz have you tried it in landscape mode? I have a cheap phone I use when the tab is occupied and it seems to work in landscape. It ain't perfect but it works...

I'm on a Galaxy s7, Android 6.0.1 (Marshmallow), and also use Chrome when on my phone. And like I said, for me it's not a matter of non-responsive display (it displays very much the way it would if it were an app, I'm sure). It's a matter of probably 75% of the time, it doesn't read me trying to open a link, no matter how many times I try or refresh the page. Nor is it a matter of it not having an internet connection, because it doesn't even try to load the page. But when I switch to "desktop version" it opens all links, all the time, just fine.

It's always the same threads that either work or don't work, meaning regardless of if I get the thread to open under desktop version, it won't ever open unless under desktop version. For example, most recently I couldn't open one of the deacon announcements (I can't remember which) without switch to desktop version, and even though I've looked at it once now, it still won't open unless I switch views.

To pre-empt, yes all the cookies and cache and every single other stereotypcial troubleshooter techniques have been conducted. It just doesn't read as being requested to open.

Zoom in or zoom out by so much of a pixel or two and it fixes that, just have to do that on each page you want to click a link, sometimes when it resizes on page load it doesn't draw the hit boxes for clicking correctly, I think it's likely associated with the Javascript that manages the hover over for the first few lines of a thread post preview.

Been there, done that, no luck. My pages start zoomed out all the way the mobile version allows, so I only have the option of going in and much to my frustration, it just doesn't do the trick.

The new site is definitely easier to use on mobile devices, but Tapatalk is in a wholly different category when it comes to user-friendliness on devices with smaller screens. So +1 for Tapatalk from me.

The problem with tapatalk is that it doesnt support most totjo features and adds an additional layer of stuff to worry about. I know chat can be a pain for mobile users and it still is the plan to make something better.

Chat in a different window is not an option?

I've found that the new site is very cluttered on mobile... have to scroll down a lot to find what I want to look for.
When I first turn up I don't really want to see a load of random wall posts I have no interest in.
Someone has clearly blocked me from chat which I am eternally grateful for though because until that happened TOTJO was a complete no no for me on mobile.

Yes Edan , i blocked you from chat , i thought that was what you requested a while ago :lol: ..

The thing is totjo has got quite a lot of functions. Some people format their posts weirdly, then expect it to somewhat not affect anything on anyone's device. I can't stand the chat, but other paid products don't offer anything better. Otherwise everything looks fine on my phone.
