Using iPhone to read the forum. Loves your mobile version. I really like the format. However the font (in Potrait mode) is still small. Can make it bigger please?)

For your reference: The font in landscape mode, when turning the phone, is the right size

+1 for this

I vouch for this as well. Could we have a A+/A- , a simple font size changer for the mobile screen as sometimes we'll have to make the font larger. Mobile browsers generally dont offer any form of scaling to increase the font size or to decrease the font size

Will we know if this will or will not be looked into?

This will be looked into.

Today I can't read some post in the mobile version of lowyat.net.
I used search to see if someone asked for this feature.
Turn out, I've asked about this 5 years ago!!
Do you guys still plan to implement this?

Can yoh post a screenshot please, and the name of your phone. Thanks.

I’m using iPhone 6 Plus. The font is fine. Just that my old eyes cannot see the default small font. I wish I can just do a A+ to increase font size like most Readability website.

Thansk for the feedback, let me see what I can do about that.

Alternatively, he can zoom the page to make the text larger, that's what I do usually.

I don’t want to zoom and then move left and right all the time just to enjoy reading the forum when changing font size should not be a hard thing to do, technically. That’s why we have the mobile theme.

Two years later, bumping this up. Still using iPhone 6 Plus and the font is still super small. Hard to fix this huh?

wtf because of you, the mobile page now has too darn big font. everybody complain

the font size was very much fine before.

Hey old man, if u think the font is small,go read thru pc or stop visit this forum.

So many people complain about this new font

New font is way too big especially the thread titles

new changes ruined the surfing experience of lowyat forum..

but I understand some of hyperlinks quite pain in the backside to click em with because of font size too small

belfong is this new layout to your liking?

Old layout is better.

LOL, maybe only you.
I find the font looks better. Not too big, not too small. Its in medium level. Quite consistent font size with my WhatsApp font size.
Admin, dont bother him. Dont change back the small fonts.
Medium font looks great

Noooooo... Report button now ugly max, use yesterday one better.

Why need so big report button? Small enough. Later many report mod complain so many report again.

The new "layout" for mobile version:

As mentioned previously this is a WIP there will be many more tweaks and changes. Aside from that

1. we are not gonna create a layout just for you. We track 800-900k unique users a week. Once everything is complete, and you feel like you are still uncomfortable, start a poll and see if enough users agree with you.
2. the mobile theme is designed to suit the majority of phone users. We are testing against at least 5 popular phones with default browser settings. The font sizing etc follows the current css standards. The thread content fonts itself have not been changed - only optimized for mobile, so i don't understand your 'many fonts in thread are also too big'.

Just want to voice out my perspective on this updates like the last time "grey color" themes.

highlighted fonts, I meant.

thanks for noticed my doubts though, I will get used to it eventually.

grey color theme was a simple color change that only involved some simple tweaks.

this is a complete revamp to optimize the site for viewing/posting on mobile devices. You can continue to feedback, but as i mentioned previously nothing is final yet, but at the same time we will not be reverting back to the old layout that we have been using since 2003.

No red report button please. Used theme color better. Which is blue.

Why dont remove text for report button? Just use icon.

Black theme please se7en..

Send me an example of a site/forum wt a black/dark theme that looks good and we will consider. Not a big fan of dark themes but might just do one.

"Show posts by user" on mobile version gone!

Can we have it back please

Thanks

It's starting to look good now.
Please can you include the "show posts by user" option back?

wow, so much anger over a font. And then personal attack. Grow up @hirano.

I am sorry but I didn't see any changes. Was it reverted back after people complained?

Anyway, I guess I need to edit and add that having a bigger font is comfortable. Sure, I might be "old man" (hey my account was created decades ago, so I aged), but you know what. People aged. I am sure you might complained about bigger fonts now, but in a few years time, your eyes will thank me and the moderator who made this happen.

Hi, this forum https://forum.quartertothree.com/latest
(ok, it defaults was white; but if you created an id, you can change it to Solarized Dark which was superb, or Tomorrow Night which was totally black. Really nice.

se7en

Is it possible for the mobile version to have the 'Last Post by .....' as the Desktop version.
Easy to keep track if can see the 'Last Post by....'
Just the username will do.

Now it states 'updated ...'
Very confusing , always assume the thread starter update the 1st post.

Thanks.

Thank you for hearing my viewpoint & adding the name of the username of the last post.

Just saw the latest change ...Username of last post have been added.

Thanks se7en :thumbsup:

Perhaps can make the page number a little bit bigger/ bolder. So much space at the sides ....maybe broader???

I like new button design. U yiu gonna change all button to the new design is it? Maybe can reduce button height abit.

The button design is very Apple like. Modern. Well done.

This is definitely not bad.

Btw, have you thought about reorganizing the mobile phone section? Obviously Apple had it's own section and I think Android should become a main section by itself. These two are pretty much 99% of everything that's SMART out there. Everything else is just so dead.

Apart from hardocp, I never seen one with pleasant black theme.

Nice or not?

Ok lah... still prefer hardforum for their pleasant contrast.

cannot go sub forum becos font too big

1. Can increase size/bold new post notice close (X) button?

2. Why not remove text and just used icon for PM ang new notice notification?

3. Black theme like below ok?

Looks good, but why can't view the sub forums?

Back to old design...lol

Really prefer the newer design and do away with sub forum.

Latest layout with active user is super ugly, would prefer to just see the sub forum instead.

It's informative so I'm ok.

Previously with subforum can see who replied last on which thread. More informative for me.
To see how many users online doesn't really provide much info.

True, do not need to know how many topics, active users online & replies...
More informative to know who was the last to post!

Se7en, closed button rosak

Sekian lipot.

rosak? or no background?

It should be ok now.

There was never last poster info on mobile view before (only desktop). Mobile view only had subforums list.

Will give it a try.

Yes. No background. Now ok already.

se7en

Don't need the statistics of replies, active users & topics.
Prefer info , statistics not much use.

I don't mean to rile people up, coz looks like I'm in the minority on wishing for a bigger mobile font. But is this something the admin plan to put back, revise the size? Or it's totally out of question now?

Statistic not required, perhaps only useful for the admins and mods. It makes the title looks awful with the bold font.

Please please please please please please please please please please please please please please:

Bring back the sub forums.

Garage sales is a PITA to surf now. Changes r good, but not all r practical. Think of the average users. Smartphone comes with scrolling functions, instead of clicking only.

subforums list is super useful. Thanks for bringing it back.

no problem, as i said previously its a WIP. keep the feedbacks coming.

Quote button rosak. Or just me?

Can bring 'X' for new notice to the right? Not convenient at left side currently if u not login quite some time and there's many notice.

I'm using laptop win10, chrome v58.0.3

1. the left alignment is super left until there's no white space.

it actually making my reading experience very uncomfortable.

2. can you bring back the view new post function? i think it's useful.

Thank you for bringing back the sub-forum and ditching out the statistic.

The mobile theme is optimized for small devices. We really can't optimize it from mobile devices and also desktop. please use the desktop view for laptops.

2. View new post function? Which one is this?

I found the switch to change to desktop view and change it. The forum just change my view to mobile after the update. All the while I'm using laptop.

After change to desktop view, the 'view new posts' function is back again.

While you guys are at it, maybe make the login more mobile friendly instead leaving options to the right and remove HTTPS option both mobile and desktop since everyone runs HTTPS anyway

Love the new mobile header. Any plans for bigger mobile font ( I know it’s a controversial topic but can’t you guys do it via user-selected Themes?) so default can be small font but users like me can select a Big Font theme.
