content: Dedicated apps for websites are a bit 2015. Making them responsive and legible on any device is the current status quo.

content: There's an app for that. It's called a browser. I don't get why everyone and his mother make an app to do what can be done with a browser and a web page. And they even write the app in html and javascript. It's silly.

content: Yeah. I rarely use this forum on a mobile phone, but I have tried on occasion with a simple web browser and the forum is responsive, so it's perfectly usable. Just bookmark the forum's address in your favorite browser.

If I navigate tohttps://eevblog.com/forum/unreadreplies/or whatever, I get a special simplified interface for mobile that works rather well. I can see that your phone is just displaying exactly the same page that is displayed on a computer, which means your mobile phone browser is failing to request the mobile site.You probably came across a bad site with a broken mobile experience in the past, turned on "pretend to be a desktop PC" mode as a workaround, but have since forgotten to turn that back off again.

content: Quote from: Dubbie on July 18, 2019, 03:33:14 amWhen you used to browse the forum on mobile using firefox/chrome tapatalk used to keep harassing you to us tapatalk instead.It was like it rolled a 6 sided dice every time you loaded a new thread/page and if it came up 1 it would popup, "Hey do you want to use tapaptalk!" It was worse than Microsoft clippy in annoyingness, which is saying something.It put a bad taste in a lot of peoples mouths and we swore never to use that damn piece of software on principle.It doesn't do that annoying thing any more but a lot of us will never forget and never forgive it.

No further App required.

content: Quote from: ghost1325 on July 18, 2019, 03:27:26 amYes it can. It doesn't even display quite the same as in a desktop browser. Of course you don't see as much content as on a desktop, but it's perfectly adjusted.I have no clue what triggers this mobile version, but it works fine on my Android phone in Chrome and has always displayed like this.I don't know why it doesn't display the "right" forum version on yours. Maybe Dave can have a look (although I suspect he has better things to do)

content: Quote from: SiliconWizard on July 18, 2019, 02:01:05 pmYou can always choose that mode manually via the "Mobile" link at the bottom of each screen. Blue text on black background pattern, a bit hard to see... This setting seems to work in any browser, even at large desktop resolution, and is remembered via some mechanism (cookie, I assume).

content: Quote from: ghost1325 on July 18, 2019, 06:27:33 pmAs siliconwizard had mentioned: The "mobile" display mode is set automatically on some small-screen devices (iOS?), but apparently not on all of them. No idea what criteria are used to detect the screen size, but apparently it's not perfect.

content: What annoys me is that I actually don’t like the mobile view, and when it comes up on my iPhone or iPad, it does have a link to use the desktop version, but after a month or two, it’ll revert to the mobile view again. A minor annoyance to be sure, but I wish it would just remember my preference once and for all.
