What is the next step for this? Set a date? Can it all be done in 30 days? The value buried in here is worth $250 to me alone. Quote Selected

So what can we do... Reply #79 – October 13, 2018, 12:37:51 AM I'm not trying to argue against a mobile site, but why? I mean, everything works perfectly well on a phone or tablet. I haven't even owned a computer since about 2007. At least make it so the mobile site is optional. Like a switch to turn it off. Quote Selected

Like a switch to turn it off.This site absolutely does not work well on mobile devices..it's terrible. It's 2018, most people browse sites on their phones so making the site as mobile friendly as possible is basically a necessity at this point.I typed this up on my phone and it was brutal...Responsive themes work by scaling automatically based on the screen size. Typically anything below 1024 pixels and it'll go into mobile mode. Quote Selected

When I feel like posting a response, I post a response. I do not use any sort of mobile mode on any forum I am on, and it all works exactly like it would on a computer. What makes it so brutal?

What makes it so brutal?it does not. you have to constantly zoom in/out on the page just to properly tap buttons and such. that's not how a responsive/mobile theme works.actually use a properly done, responsive theme on a phone versus this site, for example, and you'll know the differences between the two.

So what can we do... Reply #88 – October 17, 2018, 02:22:14 PM Lets not get into phone brand bashing as I hate android based phones (have an iPhone for personal and an Android for work). What we can all agree on is that our forum needs an upgrade so who would head this up and how much of a headache would it be to do? What I would be curious to know is how much would the software upgrade be and I would also be in for some $$ to donate to the person that heads this up as doing it for free would just suck.I think enough of us have expressed and interest that we can get the $$$ rounded up in short order we just need to move forward on this and make it happen.
