Hi, Can I suggest Tapatalk Integration or some sort of mobile app for the forum. Many forums use Tapatalk and as a Admin of a forum I can say Tapatalk reduces complaints and it is simple to use. Tapatalk can also boost the number of users because if this forum is hot on tapatalk it will become part of the popular forum list on Tapatalk. http://www.tapatalk.com/

Works great!

Mobile forums:
Problems:
1. It is hard to get to the rest of the website. You have to switch to standard first.
2. Not as many features.
3. No mobile auto detection (complicated to switch to mobile).
Not problems:
1. Works well!

Home page/profile pages:
1. If you are touching them, scrolling areas for projects try to scroll while you are scrolling the page up or down.

Project pages:
1. The menu at the bottom of the screen does not respond right.

Ah - fantastic! This is a great list. Thanks!
Yes-using a HTC Desire C on default apps, default everything, with Flash Player enabled, and it works fine. The only exception was when I accidentally shared a project using the tiny touchscreen.

First post from mobile forums:
on an iPod touch (iOS 3.1.3-yes, old is cool),
Pros:
faster-so much so I'm not eve seeing safari loading it's doing it so fast, which, to say the least, is a first
easier- big text, nice to read.
clearer-black and White colour scheme, not pastel blue and silver.
Anyway.

Cons:
can't access rest of site.
No easy access image/emotes/URL buttons for posting.
Can't see Borders between posts, so I've no idea where one stops and the other starts.
Sometimes I just like to click ‘view my topics’ instead of browsing the forums, when I want to check my posts quickly. You can't do this on mobile forums, which I annoying, because I could be much much faster at the boring bits if checking my posts (the bits not involving typing )
I'll try and remember to put up some screenshots at some point.

I hope this helped.

I've noticed that the project carousels move faster than your finger - if I swipe 1 inch to the left, the projects move 2 inches.

I'm on Mobile Firefox on a 10-inch tablet.

Also the mobile forums look stretched out. OMIGOD SO MUCH WHITESPACE
seperate columns for the categories would be nice to have. Maybe a Gmail-style two pane layout? (topics on left, posts in a bog box to the right)?

Please don't do that I'm fed up with sites doing this in a futile attempt to get me to pay 2.99

Thanks for the suggestions, everyone! We plan to keep making improvements on this - starting with an html 5 player, so you can view projects on iOS and Android devices.
