Automatic Mobile Style now activated

Tue Oct 23, 2012 10:43 am

A few months ago, we installed a simplified style called "blueplop" which could be manually activated in the event of using a mobile phone (or as TotallyUncool pointed out, in the event of wanting a more discreet style available in the workplace.)

Due to a recent update it's now possible for the board to attempt to auto-detect if you are using a mobile device, and if so, it will automatically switch to a mobile style. There is also a simple option to manually switch back and forth via a link visible at the bottom of each page.

Note that unfortunately at this time the mobile style does not have the "thumbs-up" (thanks) option, so if you feel compelled to thank someone for their post, you can temporarily switch back to your default full style to do so.

I just tried it on my droid - I hit refresh, and it came up perfectly (using firefox for android).

^ Good to know, thanks! And lol, esx, I forgot you were the one who had requested it originally.

Works on iOS.

It's a bit hard to read, though. The headers aren't different enough from the body paragraphs — just slightly larger, slightly bolder, and slightly bluer, all on the same white background. The net result is that it all runs together.

Works like a charm on Windows Phone Image

So I've been visiting this site on my iPhone today (and for a while now). I went to Safari to refresh the H!P forum and I got such a shock. XD
Until I noticed the original viewing, or whatever it's labelled. :hehe:
I think I prefer the desktop view. But it may just be because that's what I'm used to.

Really neat that a mobile version is now available, however!

Edit: ugh, awful typos. No love for autocorrect.
