cheers

 

Seconded... The option to choose is needed please

 

Hi,
This is something new we are trialling. can your mobile device not simply announce itself as a PC? Most can, and that disables the mobile site in your browser.

 

Stu,

You cant change it on an IPHONE or my N95

 

I actually prefer it!

 

I just looked too, safari has no settings that do what you said.

It aint just this site tho... ebay does it auto aswell. Its just a bandwidth saver, but to be fair, i'd rather enjoy a full site.

 

I can actually disable it for certain OS, the problem being some prefer it and some hate it, its a hard one to call.

 

Its POLL TIME!

 

Which is why a choice is a good idea .. Google for example does it

 

just for info, im using a windows mobile, and as far as i know no option to change it?

Maybe in the opera options tho, ill have a play


Tho a fair few sites do go to the mobile lite version , but have all got the option to switch back to proper full net versions

 

It's sh**e for Private messaging, you also cant leave feedback on trader status either when using Iphone. I prefer it how it used to be.

is it possible to disable it for a certin user name? i.e mine?
Thanks

 

iPhone users should have normal PF back now. Please test.

I would be interested to know what OS people are having issues with?

 

yeh my iphone is ok now. keep that mobile crap away it like going back in time..

 

That mobile "Crap" is far more suitable for teh majority of members. We need to strike a balance here which is what I am trying to do with all ths carefully worded feedback from the members.

 

IPhone was made to show PF how it should be enjoyed... And now it can be, thankyou

 

stu on the n95 what i use it's proper wank, can only type in 5 sentences then it goes out the reply box. So you cant see what your writing.

 

windows mobile 6.1 with opera mobile 9.5 brouser.

Getting the mobile version, and had no issues before using the full web version.


The main issue is the view all the posts and quotes are hard to work out which is which, and the fact you have to click each picture link for it to show, oh and no quote reply. Lastly the text in replys goes off the screen and i cant scroll to see it whilst typing, text box to large?


As said an option to switch it would be a great idea?

for example works here, http://www.xda-developers.com/

 

yeah im with fil, i want the full pf back on my n95 aswell please.

 

Didnt see that pic when i posted the above comment on my n95............. on the lite version

Why cant pf have a choice like that? its a winner for everyone then

 

Alot of the mobile sites, i.e Symbian sites, have that option.... but looking at the boardheader bar on PF, there aint much room to put it... but then saying that, i suppose it could be added to the Site Navigation block on the portal easily enough. Best of both worlds then.... and all that coding hasnt gone to waste

 

Another issue, ive just seen, when going back and editing a post via the mobile site it screws it up?

https://passionford.com/forum/4152624-post7.html

 

id also prefer the full site back on the n95 the mini site doesn't suit the phone. i think mobile sites are only any good for poverty spec phones

 

What OS does the N series use?

 

Symbian Stu


Christ were a tough crowd to please arent we

 

+1 LMAO

 

Sorry, I dont think there is anything i can do to stop it for Symbiam.
I can disable it for Win CE and iPhones.

 

Is there not the way to add a link to PF Mobile while running the standard PF site like Fil described earlier. Thats how loads of sites do it now, including wastebook.

 

Noooooooo


As above, anyway there can be an option so that i can switch it over myself via the phone?

If all else fails is it possible to have a big old fashioned poll in GD, and see if it stays or whether it goes completely?

 

Why not just give users the choice the first time it loads ?
Its a 5 minute job for any programmer with half a brain !

Works on IPHONE ok

 

yes please

 

I don't like it now can you change it back for us G1 owners

 

it appears that pf tried to solve a problem that didn't exist in the first place. i think it need a option like google and i think eBay do it were you can pick between mobile and classic mode. that way everyone's happy

 

Still waiting for a yes or no on that one arent we.................

 

Given we serve over 790 Million pages to nearly 50 million people every month, I am in a position to say there IS a problem for a LOT of people on a LOT of sites. Just look how many are complaining about the new way, compared to the old way. FAR less complaints now, so if we can have less negativity and less smart comments from people who think they know whats best for 50 million people we can get on with trying to tweak it the best we can for now. We can look at making it user selectable in the future, but for now it isn't and its not a priority so if people can explain what phone and OS they have and why its now an issue, we can look at ways to improve what we now have.

 

if that was aimed at me your wrong I've posted a constructive post in the appropriate forum section. there was no smart comments just facts. i have never been on a forum were there is a post asking for a mobile version of the site as in this day and age most phones are more than capable of handling a normal site.so there for no need for a mobile version which is why i said that passion ford tried to solve a problem that didn't exist because by doing so has caused a problem.to which you have obviously taken offence

 

stu any updates on this? window mobile, opera brouser and me just dont like it / cant get on with it still

 

Sorry Stu but with respect..... PMSL !

You have had sensible input and suggestions on what the USERS would like.. I.E. The choice !
This is by far the easiest solution to implement and keeps everone happy !

I bet if I was put in charge of this task, I would get it done quicker ..

In fact, coding this would take a good programmer less than 30 minutes to write, test and upload it !

As for 50 million people using this site..... What have you been smoking ?!!

 

i dont like it neither ! pain in the arse

 

Try it now chaps.

 

its still crap on my phone
bit of a pain as i liked to look at the place when im out
