Post by: ProtonBitcoin on January 05, 2018, 03:18:25 PM
I don't see any mobile version /talkpal for the forum. Does it exist?

No. There are a lot of threads in Meta asking about tappatalk though it seems. I believe the new forum software that is being created will support mobile devices, but don't quote me on that.

The sort of "new responsive theme"[1] that the devs are presumably working on has been in beta for YEARS. So yea, the answer is currently a big NO, unless someone made a sort of unofficial app that just alters bitcointalk's CSS code to make it look better on mobile.

I find the forum very difficult to read on my phone. I'd love either Tapatalk or a mobile enhanced version of the website.

I'm also hoping for the forum's mobile version or an app, because its too hard for us who are using cellphone to read some threads and small letters are difficult to click but i guess the developers are planning and trying to create for the forums development. It also great to see this forum on a playstore or appstore, it means the forum is recognized and people are contributing.

Officially, no. There is no mobile version of this forum. However, please be advised that there are many fakes on the google play store and most of them are just fake, counterfeit versions of Bitcointalk. All they do is steal you login information and that gets sold to the account sellers of this forum. Thats about it.

Any app that you see that claims to be a bitcointalk site is fake, do not trust it at all.

No. Bitcointalk don't have mobile version. But you can use it from your mobile. It's easy :)

There is no official app yet though I downloaded an app from Google Play Store but never login on it because I am afraid it has malicious codes or anything that could make my account compromised. I do hope that Bitcointalk devs will make an official forum app for mobile phones. I'll wait for it to happen because I am an Android user and since I can't afford to buy a computer due to priorities. ;D

No need to repeat the same things that already was said but you have two solution : the simple one is to use chrome (or others) and to zoom in and out, you will get used to it after a while. The second is to use UC Browser , he offers somehow a mobile-like version. The main advantage is that it keeps the written text of a reply if you accidentally passed to another page. The main disadvantage is that it is a little bit buggy sometimes...

I wouldn't download any of that crap.  You never know whose software it is, and to me this is how people get their bitcointalk accounts hacked.  As of right now, a mobile site/app doesn't exist.

That's the worst friggin' thing about this forum, the lack of mobile friendliness.  Everything else I absolutely love (except the trust system).  It's intuitive and really easy to use.  Unfortunately when using a smartphone it's hard for me to type.  I have thumbs like big wet potatoes and thus make many mistakes and it's a pain in the ass.  Don't know why, with all those donations, bct can't be mobile-friendly.  However, I have to say that I'm just glad this forum exists.  I like it, warts and all and don't really have a right to complain--it isn't my forum.

In current version, the answer is no. But I think the new version of forum that is being created will be have mobile version.

No need to add a mobile app. Download Opera mobile and make a shortcut to homescreen. The text will be shown in adjustment to your screen, so that you can read without scrolling each line sideward. You can adjust the view an several mobile browsers.
You will see, that bitcointalk forum is one of the mobile friendliest sites.

There is a WAP version https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?wap

'' Introduced with much hype in 1999, WAP achieved some popularity in the early 2000s, but by the 2010s it had been largely superseded by more modern standards.''

I used iPad's Safari to view this forum, almost as good as desktop version...

In the past I had found a Bitcointalk app on Android play market and installed it. It didn't pretend to be official, which it wasn't, but the dev had stopped to develop it so it was incomplete. It worked, but not for every necessary function. But it didn't contain any trojans or so, it did no harm. Anyway, I would not recommend it.

For mobile phones Bitcointalk version app would be faster so they would need to change the desktop version to get those two together.
Maybe in future.
