OT: Mobile Friendly?

[HOF Auto Rookies]

Just out of curiosity, how many of you use this forum site on your mobile phones? I do a TON, and sometimes it's difficult to navigate through the site on my phone.

So, I'm just wondering, I know it costs money to make it mobile friendly, I've done it with my site, but if we can maybe all pitch in $5 or so to Leon to make it mobile friendly, would you guys be interested?

I feel in no way shape or form Leon should spend 1 cent towards this as he already does so much with the upkeep of this forum, I have not spoken to Leon at all, was just curious in throwing out the idea because I'm browing on my phone all the time.

So, would you want a mobile friendly update for Net54, and would you be willing to help pay for the costs?

I only use my iPad on this site with no problems. What would change if it went "mobile friendly"?

It would make it more user friendly, easier to access tabs, etc. It would pretty much shrink the data usage and loading times.

If the fee were not too, too much I would fund it. That being said we should have Tapatalk enabled now. I have viewed the site on an ipad and mobile devices, just the way it is, and it's not bad, at least to me. But then again I would vote for Big Chief and Crayolas. You young pups might need to Google that to see what I am talking about.

I ALWAYS use it on my iPad, which is awesome. Just when I get to my phone, become a little more difficult to navigate when using the buttons. If you check out my site (not meant for a shameless plug) for example, you can clearly see a difference in how much easier it is to navigate mobile vs original version via phone, tablet etc. Or any major site like eBay, espn. eBay is incredibly mobile friendly.

Have you tried using Tapatalk on your Iphone to view the forum?

I use a Verizon Droid Bionic and have no problems at all and i'm on the site many times a day. The only issue I have is when I have a private message and the box pops up but thats a problem with many sites so its probably because I don't know how to use my phone when 2 pages are open.

I voted no because the site works great as is on my iphone and ipad.

I use my iPhone to get on the site everyday with no issues. It works great. I wouldn't pay to change the way I get on here using my phone.

When I want to go to a sub-forum (Autographs) I have to zoom in and absurd amount to click the tiny link to get me to that sub forum and other sections.

But, the people have spoken, so it doesn't seem like we need to do anything about it for now.

Tapatalk is what you want.
