Any mobile users out there?

[heliosj]

I was considering adding a 'mobile' theme so that the site is more accessible via Blackberry, iPhone, etc..

Am I the only one who would make use of such a feature?

[Spartan]

Yes please.

[keyboard]

I've accessed the site a few times but only to check on things, never to post. I don't think anything I say is that important.

Right now to access it via the Blackberry is very cumbersome.

Well, it's pretty smooth on the iPhone, but we already knew that.

I've tried on my Dare. Browsing the place works fine. I'm pretty sure my Dare doesn't have the capability to login to anything though.

I have on occasion while at work on my BB. I vote yes give it a go.

[HABS_FrEaK]

yeah that could be a useful feature

I'd use it

A good fellar to ask would be that RJV guy that used to post all these live updates from Flyers' games. I'm not sure if you remember, but it used to be entertaining back in the day.

I know I'm not one of the big gurus here, but I would find a mobile theme convenient for when I am browsing HI on my iPhone.

Listen to you high rollers with your iPhones. Why don't you just use the damn thing to make calls! :lol:I know I'm not one of the big gurus here, but I would find a mobile theme convenient for when I am browsing HI on my iPhone.

[Sponge Bong Beer Pants]

I love my phone and have little complaints but I find the mobile experience at HI (and most other forums) on the blackberry quite annoying.. not sure how you could improve it or what that even entails but I am all for it!

Not really. Wouldn't hurt, though.

Here's a good example of a mobile version of a forum http://hfboards.com/?styleid=84

I would probably browse the forums on a mobile if there was an easy way to do it. The few forums I try to visit are a pain to view.

[heliosj]

Here's the problem, I've yet to find a mobile theme I'm happy with, I'm working on it though. I'm starting to lose interest and regret mentioning it. ;)

[secol]

so that's how it is, dangle the bait then yank it away hehe :P

[MTR]

I see how it is. :grumpy:

[heliosj]

Yup. Pretty much.

[MTR]

Fine. Can you do it for the other site then? ;)

Another place I frequent (which runs IP Board 3.1.0) just enabled their mobile theme (and an iPhone app)... what an amazing difference! no more zooming in just to be able to click on a link or read a post - can you imagine that?

Time for you to start earning your keep here, Jeff... get to work. :p

[phaneuf6]

I was going to bump this as well. It'd be nice to have a mobile version on here at this stage. :)

[nyihater4life]

Yes, please.

Anyone here have a Android Incredible by the way? freakin AWESOME phone!

[phaneuf6]

Bump..

[heliosj]

We're about to upgrade to vBulletin 4.0 in the next couple of days, I'll tackle this once that's done.

Ouuu, very nice. And perfect. :D

[Chilly_Willy]

I use mobile very rarely but I do like to have the option, I don't have 3g or anything like that so I mostly do PC.

What kind of differences can we be expecting?

[heliosj]

What kind of differences can we be expecting?It's not a heck of a lot different -- I have it running on another forum I support and there's not a great deal of distinction from the user perspective. Maybe a nice little feature here and there. Wouldn't get to excited about it. However, from a back end perspective, it's a significant upgrade. All the themes need to be redone.. the database conversion takes awhile.. etc.

There it is -- the double dash! :scared:

Oooh, so new user themes are coming?

That's one dash. One of them would be a hyphen. :D

A dash is longer than a hyphen, which is why its represented typographically by two hyphens. Word processing applications autocorrect this to the actual dash character, '—'.

... Not to bring another thread into this one...

Ah, I see! Well then I don't see dashes used often in print...

So new themes?

[gogoayane]

i didn't notice this thread at all! anyways it'll be awesome if there's a mobile theme for this!

[Skate or Die]

Yes please

[phaneuf6]

Bump.

Or install the BerryBlab plugin?

[ih8music]

Yeah, Jeff... you claim to love us, so how about showing us some lovin'? ;) :lol:

[b_illin]

I have no problem with HI as is on my phone...mobile version might suck actually as it does for some other sites

It wouldn't. It'd be way better.

Try http://mobility.mobi on your phone browser for an example.

I actually prefer what we have to that mobility site...maybe it's a blackberry thing
