Have seen an improvement in being able to post recently - used to be almost impossible

iPhone x and safari. Is there a way to improve the experience? Really doesn’t work on mobile at all and it’s stopped me using the site.

Amir: can you be more specific about what makes it unusable? apart from the photo size thing on your other post this morning.
Ron: any problems? |

There’s lots of other UI pains but relative to having to zoom in everything else pales in to insignificance. Having a ‘responsive’ site would fix most things I believe. This is meant as constructive feedback and not criticism in any way at all. |

Also the fact that the site is using http vs https could be problematic in the future. For some reason the screenshot is not rendering: https://imgur.com/a/oEAkmyR Last edited by Khanivore; 23-06-2019 at 11:07 AM.. |

I use a 10 inch Samsung tablet. Android/Chrome. Works perfectly and text size and photos are easy to read. Also sometimes use 15 inch laptop Windows 10/Chrome. Perfectly useable but not as clear and crisp as the tablet, which has a higher resolution screen than the laptop. Tried to use my Moto G5 phone, Android/Chrome, but hard to read without constant zooming. I don't see the point of using a phone with its tiny little screen etc. I want to enjoy the site in comfort from my tablet! (and I dislike Windows and its slow loading and endless updates etc.)

Also, at the bottom of the screen there's a drop down "style chooser" menu. The default seems to be "firestorm". Try it with the alternative "vBulletin 3 style" and see if that makes any difference. |

Thanks for the lengthy response Amir, this is information gathering prior to a forum upgrade. FWIW I spent a couple of decades in IT network & security before becoming so disillusioned with the IT business I moved back to ‘less network, more metalwork’

Switching to the other style made things worse but was worth a try.
Good idea re typing up responses in a text editor. I’ll do that until the upgrade. |
