Id say leave the legend and ag tags like they are. The less crap that has to load the faster my time wasting.

Don't really like text size in landscape mode with the iPhone either.

I concur.

The title (BL M&W Forum) is still so long that it knocks down the time stamp of the most recent post for that line only.

Are the time stamps of the most recent post really relevant? Seems as though you could axe that feature on the main forums selection page.


I originally thought the M&W Forum title was wrapping for you in the title bar (while viewing replies). I 'll take a look at the forums list too.

Had there not been ample room for the most recent post, I would have axed it, but I know a few people still use it for the less trafficked boards.

my rule for this "generic" mobile site, was only to use images when absolutely necessary (emoticons) or when words would have taken up considerable more room than an icon (locked forums and private threads). although the badges would be cached, there would still be a small hit.

"remember me" should be working again

...rookie mistake on my part.

Odd. Don't know if you are working on something in the live version or something but a picture actually displayed in the "what did you get for being in a wedding" thread on the outdoors board. It wasn't autoresized but it was there in the thread.

The image of Obama at the very end of this Aggies Only thread is appearing on my iphone although it is cut off. Can anyone else see this?

Awesome! No wonder, I thought it was weird that I could only access one forum. It looks great on the G1, but my only concern is that the grey line for replies and latest poster/creator looks a little weird.

No "L" or "G" next to posts made by Liucci or Gabe in M&W forum.

country, i've made a note. we should be able to work something out.

fyi: the latest "build" now updates your watchlist (not yet viewable on mobile) and increments the thread view counts.

Sounds good. Just throwing ideas out there. The mobile site is awesome.

Is there a way to make it so the website can detect if I'm using a mobile phone to browse TexAgs and automatically redirect me if I click a regular texags link in an email for example?

Like today Billy sent out an email and I clicked a link in the email to a thread. It would be good if it could detect I was on my phone and redirect me to that thread but on the mobile site.

I'd rather have to type in mobile.texags.com. I despise autoredirects to mobile sites. Especially when they won't let you view the full site.
ooshwa
How long do you want to ignore this user?
we will figure something out to make this more convenient.

howdydamnit, we won't redirect without an option to access the main. given the current need to post in the main site, we have to.

ooshwa,

Anything going to be done about the Landscape text size(iPhone/iTouch)? Reason I ask is as soon as we get to the release where we can post from the mobile site I'm certain I'll be spending a majority of my time in landscape mode.

Excellent work by the way.

try it out now. (refresh required)

what do you think?

When can we expect future releases?

EXCELLENT work, BTW

So this idea hit me last night...

If you click on an "image link", it will now give you a thumbnail (highly compressed). If you click on it again, it will take you to the full picture.

If your phone doesn't support javascript (or you have it disabled), the link should take you to the full picture as before.

What do you think? Does it work on your phone?

edit: try it out here: http://mobile.texags.com/Forums/12/Topics/1566429

landscape text on iPhone looks great. Thanks.

The new img feature is great. I wish there was an option to always show the compressed images, but I assume it's come. I'd like to see it as a check box at the top of each page rather than having to dig into and options page. But if "show images" was not checked the way it loads now would be great.

As far as I can tell the new image thumbnail thing is terrible on the Palm Pre. Maybe I'm doing it wrong.

Image thumbnail works great for me (iphone).

pfidr34, i'm running a BB 9000 (5.0) simulator and it appears to naviagte to the picture when I click on the link. the behavior you observed is different, right? does the current page disappear when you follow the link or does the icon you described appear "over" the current content?

nactownag, can you describe what is occuring? does it allow you to follow the link to the full image?

howdydamnit04, i have concerns about how resource intensive the thumbnail feature is as the images are being scaled in real time. I'm watching its perforance now. the original plan was to only allow thumbnails for subscribers due to load. I felt the just-implemented option was better for everyone. if we did have an always-on thumbnail feature, it would probably be only for subscribers. i'll continue to watch things and make a call in the near future.

Thumbnail feature works great for me on the iPod touch! This mobile thing is really slick...

One suggestion, not related to the images:
I have the icon on my home screen for the TexAgs mobile site. It would be neat if instead of the icon took me to a new page, it would direct to the already open mobile site in Safari. But, I could be asking for too much...
