I'm pushing the heck out of "no ads for subscribers!", but ultimately that is not my decision.

I'm certain there will eventaully be ads for non-paying users.

I do have one request: could all links to other threads on texags automatically go to the mobile version of that page? (preferably, from a user standpoint, by reformatting the links when building the mobile page instead of by redirect)

also, could there be a way to turn off image thumbnails? it's frustrating to have to expand an image and then click it again inorder to view the fullsize image. it would be nice if only one option or the other was used.

eventually, do you foresee Liucci's content being given the mobile treatment as well? that would be nice.


again, thanks for what texags has done so far. it already is a much better mobile experience than it used to be.

i had intended to do a redirect once the mobile posting was complete, but i like your reformatting the link idea even better!

there are a couple of items like this that i think would be great as users options. personally, i'd like to increase the number of topics/replies on a page. unfortunately, these options will not be apart of the current development phase, but I will put them on "the list".

actually, my next project is to redo the entire premium content area. there are a multitude of technical updates, enhancements and reconfigurations that I believe could really improve our product. this will include a mobile version of premium content. i expect to begin on this March 1st.

Excited about the redoing of the Premium stuff.

This is a needed addition.

I need some help...

The form at the following link IS NOT FUNCTIONAL. I'm just looking to know how many of you are able to "select" an icon. Please report back with phone and browser version.

Also, the text area where you type in your reply is supposed to "grow" as you reply gets longer. The forumla is generously appoximating the needed space, so it won't be exact.

Both of these functions rely upon JavaScript and a healthy DOM, so I'm curious how mobile browsers will hold up.

Thanks for your help!!

Selects fine on the iPhone 3g. However it does
not insert it into the text box. Not sure if it is
supposed to or not.

Also if you double click any of the icons it zooms in and resized the frame which I think you are trying to avoid.

But.... Looks fantastic. I can't wait for it to go live!

HTC Hero
Android OS ver. 1.5 w/ incl. browser

I can select the icon, and the box expands as I type. The font is EXTREMELY small though, like a 6 pt text or smaller, could be rough on some eyeballs, I'm not sure if you have control over that.

trying a different approach on the textarea.

nactown, i think you need to refresh your page to get the stylesheet updates

ipone 3gs and safari here

I can select images just fine. the text box does not automatically grow but there is an "increase size" button that seems to work fine (I think you alluded to that above). it would be nice if the "post" button was a little taller.

you're right bmc13. i abandon the auto-expand. hopefully the "increase" link will work better cross platform.

i've increased the button height.

Sorry for the delays everyone. As the sole developer on this project, when I get pulled away, progress stops.

I've got most of the next couple of days dedicated to getting this mobile posting done.

is there any way for you to be taken to the end of the thread when you click on a link in your watchlist?

if it's a several page long thread, you have to go to the bottom of the page, hit last page, then go to the bottom of the page again. seems like some unneccesary steps.

schmendeler, the watchlist works in a similar fasion to the topic list. if you click on the thread title, it will take you to the first post. if you click on the "last post bar" below the title, it will take you to the first new post (or the last post if the are not any new).

One error I've seen that may get fixed when everything is integrated: new posts that I make are showing as new posts on my watchlist.

something I've noticed rectly is that the post emoticons don't always show up correctly on my iphone. they usually do, but sometimes only half of the image shows up or it doesn't show up at all.

Ooshwa,

Just FYI, every thread in the maroon & white forum is showing up with a bolded title on my iPhone. (all of Billy and gabe's plus every other thread).

iPhone:

When I'm in a forum I can push the whole page with my finger horizontally into gray space. However, in the main forum menu and in threads I am not (it is locked down tight).

edit: locks tight in landscape mode, only problem is in portrait

...posted from http://mobile.texags.com

I had to strip out a couple features in order to get it up today (the most obvious being signatures). I will add them as soon as possible. Let me know how it works for you.
