Mobile Style

GrandOldTeam · November 23, 2011

Can those of you who regularly access GOT on their mobile please give it another go and report if working?

Is working ok for me. When I attempt to visit the site on blackberry the default mobile skin is loaded with no problem other than private messages not showing the username.

Hello!

I'm on my iPhone and it's defaulting to the mobile mode. When I select PC mode it goes to the normal site then resets to mobile mode.

Can we change it back? I much much much prefer the PC mode on my iPhone.

Ta.

There's no difference between it when I go on my phone or laptop.

ijjysmith · November 23, 2011

Seems to be fixed now.

Nice one champs!

Mine is still putting me back to pc mode when I change screen mate. Probably not doing it properly like. Can't control and f whatever on it either. It's a fanboy touch.

Im guessing none of this is Opera friendly on the mobile....not working for me. As is not being able to reply with quotes.

Must be the browser app.

I change it the other day, and we have "it's forced on the pc mode, wont let me stay on the mobile version..."

You see the problem?

There needs to be a default mobile style...

Sort of.

I don't mind it defaulting to mobile, but when I click for PC mode it doesn't stay in PC mode.

Hmm.

Our forum software is called vBulletin. It used to be sound, down to earth - priority was always community software. It was then taken over by some right tools who are hell bent on making everything in the software commercial.

They've purposely goosed the free mobile functionality so people buy this;

http://vbulletin.com/mobile

I'd love to buy it if it was the answer, but it isn't. It just forces iphone and android users to use a template slightly more enhanced than our last mobile style (we tried the enhanced version and it was hated) - and it neglects anyone not with an iphone and android. So mobile users wouldn't have the option to browse the website in full capacity.

So we're left in limbo, trying to find a solution with it allowing people with a mobile to have the option to browse full site or basic - just have to overcome the purposely placed obstacles in the forums software to allow us to do it.

Nightmare.

I second this. It's doing weird things in mobile mode as well. I can't even see what I'm typing.

Please change it back Danny, the mrs is watching soaps and this is my only entertainment
