What do you think about the mobile interface?

[Axtremus]

So far I think it works fine on an iPad mini.
Would have liked the UI to be more compact, so I can see more of a post and see more posts in a threat in one screen (as opposed to lots of white space), but its good enough as it is.
I will go try this on an iPhone next.

Are you using a browser for this, or is there a dedicated mobile app?

I think the idea of this forum software is to make the website itself mobile-friendly, such that no app is needed.

If you view this on a mobile device, you'll see that it's rendered differently.

Looks good on my android tablet but I have to use portrait mode to see what I type.

There's also a "slick" forum theme that we can try, which I believe is even more compact.

I'll change to "slick" such that we can take a look, ok?

Works fine in landscape on my android phone. Hmm...

Great!

OK. Changing the theme requires some updates that will take the forum down for three minutes or so. See you in a bit.

[Klaus]

OK, so this is what the Slick theme looks like.

@Klaus Looks like quoted text is enlarged, but the original post is a bit smaller?

[Klaus]

We also have plenty of options for color/font schemes. Please let me know if you find something interesting. This is just a subset.

My aging eyes are liking "Readable."

Your first job as administrator is then to find out how to change the skin and do it

You have to restart the forum, I take it?

Posting this from an iPhone using Safari.
So far so good.

Can we have a personal preference for the skins?

Yes, I set mine to “Darkly” and it works for me.
