Going to make a major change on the forum

[stickyvicky]

I really want, and I'm sure other members want, the forum to be mobile friendly. To that end, we are installing a new mobile theme. Please everyone pray that I don't totally &$#%^& everything up! lol...
Join me in prayer now......

[EmilyRain]

Prayer has begun.....
Let the switch over be easy and smooth with little to no hiccups.


There is no prayer icon thingy to post.. we need a prayer icon.

[Kirstie]

Aww, good! I will pray it goes smoothly. I pretty much only use the forum on my phone, so it's always a lot of zooming in and out. xD

[stickyvicky]

Yes that is exactly what I'm trying to avoid! All that zooming and pinching lol...
I'm shocked! I thought we had a praying smiley?

[WalterB]

Get on my knees for Vicky? ANY day!!!


But, the forum on mobile? I mainly use my phone to talk to people

so, Meh!!

(Yes, I really hope it goes smoothly. There's just this little asshole inside me that makes me say those things....)

[Kirstie]

We know you're a dirty old man, Walt. I already know this and I've been here a week today. Lol!! But I'm also a dirty little thing, so I can't so much. Haha!

[TheShaft]

Walt? Dirty? I'm flaberghasted....

[stickyvicky]

So if anyone wants to take a peek at what i'm doing while i'm working out the kinks....
go to your user control panel
click on "board preferences" "display"
change your style to any of the new 3 ones i installed
you can choose the black, blue or gray
those 3 are completely mobile friendly and look nice on the computer too!
I find they are nice and big and clear and easy to navigate....
yes it's out of alignment, I'm working on fixing it all now.. just got the logo in.... working on it in my free time!
Personally i think the blue one is the nicest, then the gray, then the black (it's a little harder to read)
and yes the smilies are out of control, I have to do something about them too... lol..

[stickyvicky]

So anyone try it yet?

[EmilyRain]

Just checked it out . Looks really good. I'm using the blue. Very user friendly and easy to navigate and I normally hate using my phone as a computer.

[stickyvicky]

You will notice less smilies on the posting page too.. so we don't have to scroll as far down to get to the post(submit) button... I hate scrolling don't you? Also I figured out how to put all the smilies on one page so you don't have to go page by page looking for the one you want. Should I remove more from the posting page? I moved all the bigger ones that were taking up a lot of space, and a lot of the ones that I think don't get used as much.

Doing this from my iPad seems to be working great

[DrNick2014]

Working a-ok here.

[stickyvicky]

So you switched to the new mobile form?

[WalterB]

I'll do some checking after I get home.

[TheShaft]

Switched to the blue. Looks good on my iPhone

[TheShaft]

no biggie but tried using my iPhone's thumbs up emoji in the previous post and an error message popped up. I was able to post from my iPhone once I removed the emoji from the post.

[stickyvicky]

What's an emoji? An emoticon? You have to use the forums emoticons.... (smilies)

[WalterB]

Haha, I was gonna ask that, but I knew TheShaft would just laugh at me. He don't dare laugh at the commander,

[rokkerr]

What the fuck happened to the board... said Puma Swede never...
