Bitcoin Forum

For me, it's the lack of mobile view. I like this place, more than any website I use (and I use a lot) but having to zoom in and out and move the screen with the text to read is just as painful as nails on chalkboard. I'm very surprised that this website doesn't have mobile view. Its the only website I know that doesn't. Considering how big it is...it's crazy.

Why you still here? no one force you to come in this forum.

It's the same with you, if i want to visit this web, i have to go to a computer, so it's easy to read
i hope , one day this forum should have a mobile version , so that we are can always get information from this forum

I can’t really answer this question because I DO spend a lot of time on the forum & I do browse on my mobile a lot to be honest. It’s been priceless for me tbh, I’ve learnt so much from people here & I doubt I would have bought as much bitcoin as I have without being a regular here.

After the whitepaper, this is the best source of knowledge for bitcoin imo.

I’ve met multiple people from the forum IRL & probably will be lifetime friends with most of them.
I have nothing but good things to say about this forum & tbh I’d probably hate some social media type style new set up.

Opinions are like arse holes though, we all have one :D

Cheers!

Bitcointalk happens to be my homepage :). I do find it cool to come online here on a daily basis. Depending on what you want to discuss about, there are different threads / sections of the forum. If you come here often to engage in conversations, you will forget that the website isn't too nice / flashy because you'll be more focused on the gist. :D

Reading on Bitcointalk is actually really decent in my opinion, as well as making responses in some cases. What sucks, is when you want to reply to multiple responses; then it all comes to sh*t.

Indeed, this forum doesn't have a version for Android yet, but for some time I've been reading forum moderators discussing this issue. But for me accessing this either from a computer or from a mobile phone is not much of a problem. I can still zoom in on the screen so I can zoom in on the posts (probably because I'm used to being outside and it takes me about 30 minutes to check the latest thread and have a discussion). If I focused on the computer I might be left far behind on the latest information on the forums.

Indeed, for some people who are not used to it, of course it will be awkward and don't like accessing this forum through their cellphone. But you don't have to complain about this. Creating an android version takes some extra work, so it's not as easy as you might think. For now just enjoy the dishes available. Hopefully in the future it can happen.

The only site that works for me almost around the clock is this forum.
But I know that for some residents of Russia, this forum has become unavailable due to the restrictions of local providers.
Therefore, I know people who would like to visit the forum more often, and there is even no reason for the lack of a mobile version, but there are some other restrictions that do not depend on the forum.

Considering that you're in the age of 50s or 60s that has poor eyesight.  :D

I occasionally use my smartphone to visit here in the forum and sometimes when I receive mention notification from telegram and this happen when I'm not at home, I had tablet computer for the larger screen than smartphone while at work and when I get home I use my PC for a proper reading and at the same time interacting discussions.

If you really wanted to learn here in the forum, find a way that you have better gadgets for a convenient way of reading and making posts here.  You need to adjust for betterment, not the forum.

My main reason is that my time is divided with my family and my real work. The time I visit this forum is after dinner where my child is already sleeping, sometimes before going to bed I still take the time to read the latest info on this forum via my cellphone.

Do you have a PC or a laptop (or at least access to one that's secure)?  Most people do, and I don't think many members have reduced their forum time because of a lack of a mobile-friendly version of the site.  But I totally agree with you that Theymos really should create one, and it's truly baffling that he hasn't.

As far as the question being asked in the title, it doesn't apply to me since I visit bitcointalk just as frequently now as I did when I registered years ago--and thinking about that, it's crazy.  There aren't many websites that I visit as much as this forum, and when I'm on my PC there's always a tab open for the forum, which I'm constantly checking for new and interesting threads.

I used to visit the forum on my smartphone, by the way.  I didn't find the resizing and scrolling to be all that bad.  It was the typing with my fingers or stylus that drove me mad.  My phone's keyboard just wasn't big enough for my fat sausage thumbs, and having to type one tedious letter at a time instead of using a real keyboard with my decent typing skills was a turnoff. 

I used to get annoyed by the constant zoom in and zoom out to avoid misclicking when using my mobile to visit the forum. what I found helpful is rotating the screen on your phone so the text would be bigger and you won't have to zoom in or zoom out when reading or clicking. I am not sure if the method I use works on other models/brands of mobile. rotating the screen has been a huge help reading clicking and navigating in the forum. why not give it a try.

I don't get it: what's with the mobile madness? Obviously it's going to be annoying and you need to zoom a lot if you replace - say - a 24" screen by - say - a 6" screen. Size matters! Six inches isn't enough, monitors are cheap, get a big one.
Instead of adjusting the site, adjust your screen size :)

If you appreciate the knowledge one can garner from this forum, then you'll prolly not stop visiting the forum as often as you do for the reason above, I know it's pretty difficult for mobile users at first (I access this site with my mobile, and I'm currently using my phone to type this), but with time, the hassle becomes unnoticeable and you just get on with things as normal.

There is as yet no reason for me not to visit this website, except occasionally when I have a busy schedule in real life (like during exam period, family time, etc), OP, I'll suggest you either get a PC if you don't have one, or you just get used to the website on mobile till Theymos creates a mobile-friendly version.

I don't visit this site only when I'm with my family, doing my activities, or working in my office


Currently, I mostly open this site on my laptop because it looks good and comfortable but I also often open it on my smartphone, even though it looks less comfortable but I'm used to it

I hope you must start getting used to how this site looks on your smartphone, and don't expect too much, mobile displays to appear in the future

The reason (besides the delay in the new forum software) why there is no mobile version in my opinion, would be cause the forum (or the administration) is sort of resistant to change, you can see this in how most of the social platforms linked on the profile are not that active anymore, but newer ones, like Reddit or Instagram have not been added.

For me, I do not mind the desktop view at all and have gotten used to it on a mobile device, I'm only off the forum, when I'm busy with school, work or family, or when I just want to take a break from everything and recharge.

One of the main reasons I'm not here is because I can have more interesting discussions on Twitter and other platforms. In the past, it was hard to talk to someone about Bitcoin outside of this forum or using my local language.

Also, the forum is static and has not made many changes, which makes it possible to make posts using the laptop only.

Sometimes, I browse using my phone but the posts are from my laptop.

How do you have more interesting discussions on Twitter? I find that Twitter and Reddit is the worse places to have good discussions because they are full of trolls and children who like to derail the discussion with memes and other low quality posts. Twitter with its restrictions on how many characters I find hard because you then have to make multiple tweets to fully elaborate on technical discussions. Then the moderation on Twitter is only the most serious of things and does not have a rule about keeping on topic. Reddit is better because they do have moderators which keep it on topic but I still find Reddit has to many children on the website to have a good discussion. Bitcoin might not be the perfect but I think it is still the best place to discuss about cryptocurrencies.

I presumably don't have a problem with the mobile view of this forum and I also like the knowledge I have gained from the messages post by the members of this forum.
If I don't come to this website more often it is because I am busy with real world responsibilities.

For me, it may be because the experience of using a mobile device to access the website is very poor, and I cannot browse the content of the webpage on my mobile phone as often as I can watch other apps. But compared to the practical level, I prefer the content of the forum, which is a rare place to learn Bitcoin knowledge. The content and knowledge attract me to use the computer to communicate in the forum as soon as I have time.

In regards to the reading part, I'd recommend doing what @acroman08 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5362530.msg58032768#msg58032768) suggested ^{[landscape view]} and for those that are interested in a better experience for posting stuff, I'd recommend combining the landscape view with a portable Bluetooth keyboard while using the "quick reply" feature!

• Quick reply feature
  
  • Profile > Look and Layout Preferences > Use quick reply on topic display > show, on by default > Change profile

Alternatively, you can try the following things as well:

• Quote from: SFR10 on May 16, 2021, 11:50:03 AM
  • Wap2 ^[responsive]: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?;wap2
    
    • The remaining versions are:
      
      • Wap (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?;wap) ^{[it doesn't come with the ability to create posts but it's responsive]}.
      • Imode (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?imode) ^{[it comes with the ability to create posts but it's not responsive]}.

  
  Note: Every single one of these versions has its own limitations and depending on how each post is formatted ^{[e.g. those with tables]}, viewing it using any of the above versions might be a nightmare.
  

This forum is like a daily dose of medicine to me for it is the place I hang out with crypto friends share knowledge and also learn something new. The on the main reason I will not come more often will be if I'm busy with traditional necessary tasks or had a hectic day at work/home.
About the mobile, I don't see anything harmful in using this form on mobile.

I can access the forum quite easily using a variety of devices, and I bought a bluetooth keyboard to use with my smart phone. I grown away from the forum because of the difficulty in having sensible political and health discussions. Some many people here seem to have been suckered into the belief that you can cure endemic diseases with vaccines after people have been infected, and also that the government is actually in control of the country. Maybe it is just that the indoctrinated are the most active.

My time spent here on this forum is a time well-spent. I do not regret reading on topics that revolve around current events in which I take for granted. Rather than reading news on Reddit, I would prefer to engage into a conversation here in this forum.

In addition, even with the implementation of the merit system (in which most newbies complained about), this brought about change that slightly filtered out spams which preserves the overall quality of the forum. I just do hope that they provide more features (e.g. mobile view, dark mode, etc.) in the future (though this has to do with convenience).

I think it did more then slightly filtering out spam. It has removed most of the problems in the main boards imo. Dark mode can be done on your side if you need to do it I do not think that this needs to be a high priority because it is easy enough for us members to change it. I would like a mobile theme that works with the Tor client on android but I think that is wishful thinking. I do not think the new forum software offers support for mobiles and even if we do have it upgraded soon it looks like we will not have a good experience on mobiles any time soon.

I have not used this forum on my mobile phone but I have used other simple machine forums on my phone and it has always been awkward with a touch screen. I do not think I could justify buying a physical keyboard for my phone just to use this forum. How good does the physical keyboard work with it? How do you store it with your phone or do you only use it at home?

Lack of community projects and a negative overall atmosphere would be my 2 main reasons. If it wasn’t for nostalgia and signature payments, I’m not sure we’d see the activity levels we do from anyone who has reached beyond a member account. The vaporware forum, vaporware anniversary giveaway, vaporware badges… The trend does not look promising… The question is, will it ever change or are we going to continue to spiral towards the drain…

It's a bit difficult to find stuff.

But I like the forum because it reminds me of the forums I used to go back in the days. I wish I came to this one instead in those times :)

Imagine wanting to reply to multiple posts and having to find and insert those quotes. It gets even harder when you want to cut out the parts of the posts you are not replying to and you find yourself clicking multiple times to place the cursor in the right spot. It's not a big problem if you are just making new posts without quoting and directly replying to someone.

First of all, your reason is pretty stupid (no offense), because people come to the forum to exchange opinions, to learn something new, or to share knowledge with others. In addition, most of us visit the forum from our desktops, and those who take care of their security never log in with their main accounts via smartphones.

If by any chance you read this post, you should have learned a long time ago that these topics are not suitable for the Bitcoin discussion board where you primarily posted it (as well as some others).

Because I cant find the threads I'm looking for. I learnt the basic of cryptocurrencies but cant go deeper as I cant find any guideline from here. There are resources here but I cant find them for my next step.

I've been less active for the last couple of months, but not because I got bored of bitcointalk of because something is bothering me, but because something much more simple; I got shit load of extra work and can't afford so much leisure which I spent here time (as I could before) . Hopefully that changes soon.

I got occupied with my work and thus could not visit the forum that often. Now that I have created some passive sources of income, I again have free time to browse ans contribute to the forum. Hope the second innings will be brighter than the first one.

AFAIK, this is somewhat the best place you can get knowledge about any aspect of cryptocurrency, it's either you're not searching properly for the relevant threads that you need or you're just not active enough on the forum. Use the search option to easily locate the threads you're looking for, and I'm pretty sure you'll find them, and even if you don't, then create your own threads and ask questions about what you need.

The demands of work in rl are the most likely reason for not having a lot of time to interact with the many users on the forum. In the last few months I haven't been posting much with my phone because the internet has become unstable "not because of its small display" and I do it more often with my new laptop. Yes, I've only had a new laptop for a few months.  ;)

I usually read more responses to posts I make on my phone and will only reply after I turn on the laptop.

As LFC_bitcoin said, for 1 person we will have one opinion and for sure they have 1 ass hole. Lol  ;D

This your question is answerable individually because many people have different things that consumed their time except this platform, on like me it's very clear from me that the community of bitcointalk always take up my time because both morning and night I'm here, it's not that am posting (no) but i do devote time to go through the communication of the forum one after the other due to i love being around the forum, and i have noticed my system have acclimatized with community in which any minute I don't come here it affect me seriously.

Bruh if you visit often you will get used to it, you won't even realize you are doing zoom in-outs.

Imagine using a BT keyboard while you're mobile https://cdnv1.500play.com/emotes/harold.png

I like this forum a lot. I agree with the poster bitcointalk should have a mobile version which will make it easily accessible to ppl like me who don't have desktop or laptop.

My mobile maybe too small to login into the forum but I don't really see that as a challenge , I try to be always active because I learn new things about in the forum every day

I think there would be members here that would stay without signature campaigns because some veteran accounts do not participate in them but I do agree that this forum needs change. I do not think removing signature campaigns is the answer but I think there needs to be more regulation especially in the altcoin boards because they are full of spam. I think there is already a lack of community projects I have never been involved in a community project and I do not think I have seen one. I guess the charity fundraising some members do counts as community projects?

Actually forum is something of determination and nobody is forced to come to the forum, the thing is that many people see forum differently, maybe when op build it's site it will add those things he notice as necessary to his knowledge.

That's your perspective. Doesn’t mean that everyone else have the same feelings too. I have used the forum from both mobile and PC. I barely use this forum from PC these days though I used to use PC more back in the day. Now, I only log in from PC when I create a thread. Otherwise, I can read, write from mobile and feel comfortable enough.

We each have our own reasons why we don't often log into forum on our phone. I'm a user who likes to observe and post forum statistics whether it's about merit, number of post and so on so that the phone display sometime is not good enough when I access data from the provider's website. It's no big problem to post something via mobile when I want to respond to another user's post in a pinch when I'm not with the laptop. But I can say that 90% of my active time on this forum is through my laptop, but that doesn't mean the phone display is my main problem.

Actually, I think that I visit forum too often and I spend too much time here. It's one of the most visited my sites, both on PC and mobile. Yeah, no mbile version is disadvantage, but for me it's not big. Through 6 years when I'm here I already got used to zoom in text or type on little phone keyboard. Though, quoting on mobile, especially when I quote multiple posts or want to trim quote is still big headache for me.
One of reasons why I sometimes visit forum isn't that much is called real life stuff - work, family, other hobbies than Bitcoin and etc :)

For some reason I don't really care about how it looks, even though I'm often outside and don't use a computer, I still use my cellphone by zooming in with both fingers. Lol

Maybe for some people it is quite odd because they are used to opening forums on a computer screen. If you've already merged, the look of this forum, isn't something that prevents me from giving 1 or 2 comments while I'm on break. That's what I do until now when I'm outdoors. Even if I'm chatting with friends, I definitely take the time to post comments. Instead, the chrome display on my phone screen is like opening a computer.  ;D

The only thing I don't like when browsing forum via mobile browser is inserting image via 3rd party image upload website like imgur. It will be convenient if we can attached image easily by just choosing on our storage device. Editing BBcode on mobile is very hard especially for fat finger like me. I usually tend to avoid posting image when I'm mobile browser. I'm a member on different fforum and only BTT is the one that has this feature when it comes to attaching image or files.

Activities off the forum are still my main reason why I don't have much time to stay active for hours on this forum every day. Today I have managed to be active on this forum for 43 days 1 hour since March 3 2018, but this statistic is still much lower compared to other users.

There's no problem with the display at all, but it's a little bit problematic to access it via mobile, especially when I have to post content with code or other thing that require me to open 3-5 tab at once.

I'm old school. For the most part, I still prefer to browse the web on a computer. It's because of that reason that I don't spend more time on this forum. I'm sure I would use it more if it were mobile-responsive.

I am actually just a newbie right now, but the forum has already tightened me up. I'm so interested that I come here several times a day to see new answers in those threads that I am interested in and to find out the news. Other sites do not provide as much useful information at the same time in one place. I really think that here I can learn to better understand cryptocurrencies and find interesting tips and ideas for alternative sources of income and ensuring financial independence for myself and my family. Therefore, I do not feel that there are reasons preventing me from visiting the forum more often. I think that for those people for whom there is such a reason, this is a lack of interest and not such a strong desire to master the crypto sphere.

For me,i can't say that no reason for me,honestly only harf for me how to start  to work here anyone cam help me how to work ,so that i can earn my own money here...thanks anyone can help .I  really love to post and give my own opinion here.
