What is the main reason you don't come to this website more often?

[9thsky]

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.

[marilynmanson21]

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

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.

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.

[sheenshane]

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

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.

[glendall]

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.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

For me, it's the lack of mobile view.

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.

[LoyceV]

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.

[Tumanggor]

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

[Upgrade00]

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.

[hugeblack]

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.

[Myleschetty]

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.

[patientforzhou]

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.
