Is this place ever going to get a mobile view option?

[lixer]

C'mon bitcointalk! It's almost 2021! You must be the only website in this day and age without mobile view. And considering your popularity...! What are you waiting for Let's do this!

Yup, I have also had this same thoughts, why haven’t the developers and the moderators that are in charge of this forum thought of it, why can’t they just create a mobile platform for the forum? I make use of this forum mostly on my mobile phone. My computer is mainly at home and even when I get home I hardly go to my computer except when I have work to do with it.

Once I get home I make use of my mobile phone to view this forum because it’s more convenient for me, but every time I open the forum I have to be zooming in and out and it’s quite annoying at times. They should do something better than this. I have tried using the .wap link and it’s just like white paper with text on it.

I am a mobile user myself and been using Firefox, Chrome and Brave browser so far, all is well even I am still using an older version of mobile phone.

I used Firefox browser to access bitcointalk last week, it wasn't friendly at the interface, although the zooming in and out was absent but some letter were bigger than other making it stressful and annoying for me, I don't know if the fault would be from my phone or that's how it is?. I only use chrome browser and that's what I'm using currently and sometimes operamini, the forum had gone far with this version so I think there shouldn't be any other mobile view option.

Jesus--I just searched like 15 pages of my post history looking for the last post I made about this specific issue, and I could swear there was a thread about bitcointalk not having a mobile-friendly site within the last two months.  Dammit, I know there was!

If you use the search option with keywords in the Meta board and add your name, you will surely find that post as well. But there are dozens of such questions, here I remembered one of my posts where I listed a few other examples.

I hope that the administration will do something about this issue, because as we see the new generations, in addition to the content, also want an improved user experience.

Of what use might it be having a mobile interface@OP, for there to be a need for this modification, it implies there is a pressing disturbance that necessitates this modification but so far, I haven't seen any. I use mobile quite often and I'm not restricted to any feature or don't see a future that is unique to PC that is lacking on mobile except the restrictions that applies based on rank which goes for the two media.

The forum is pretty much stable for me, you zoom in and out if you have problem with viewing the font else, the mobile interface is very much stable me or perhaps it's just what I'm used to. Again, should the interface be too small for you, simply rotate (change your screen setting) to landscape while accessing the forum and you just might have a desired view.

Since there's a pretty good user script that makes bitcointalk acceptable on mobile, I guess that there's no much need for more time spent in that direction.
We do hope (for years, I know...) that at some point we'll migrate onto new forum software.


Edit: or you can put ;wap at the end of the topic, but I don't like that option. Example: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5288702;wap

This mobile view version looks really boring. I prefer this present look of bitcointalk forum, able to zoom in and out of a page with easy scrolling through out the page.

I wouldn't say its stable but more like unoptimized, because if you were to visit other non-responsive sites, they would be rendered similarly to Bitcointalk's.

Imagine trying to amend/ trim a quote just to reply, it's hard. Since we can't resize the text field unlike on the desktop.
