The one thing I would really like is to be able to view this forum on an app instead of using a mobile browser. I used the search function and did not wish to make a new topic as its clear this idea is held in disdain. Problem is I can't find any reason why, just that its "not needed". In my view it is:
1. I have tried many browsers (chrome, Firefox, one browser, safari, whatever androids native one is called) and all have problems displaying the forum. The most common problem is that text size is inconsistent. So one post will have huge size and even zooming out the letters overlap, the next post is painfully small and usually I never see it until I get home to my PC. I'm constantly trying to pan and zoom and then resize and pan again, only for the browser to close or go back or minimise... Etc...
2. Posting a reply is like trying to hammer a nail with a banana instead of a hammer. The screen often resizes to stupid dimensions, cut paste and enter text are all so diddly I've lost countless posts simply due to the browser activating the back function or some other ability I didn't want to use. Don't even try to format, the spellchecker randomly replaces words I don't want it to and worst of all I cannot scroll to check what I've typed as panning the touchscreen is the number 1 way to screw everything up. The buttons all appear in dumb sizes with links and the 'post' button typically minuscule such that its impossible to press them. For some random reason the first word I type in a new paragraph is always replaced with a space
Clearly there is some reason those with the power don't want to use tapatalk or some other app, but I cant find a reason beyond "no" or a post with a dead link. Seems to me those who have proposed this are making a sensible suggestion and maybe would not make many more topics on the matter if a definitive reason was given as a reply rather than "not again" followed by a lock which leaves the next person (me in this case) none the wiser.
Not intended to offend of course, you must have a valid reason, but since I don't know what it is and this is the biggest irritation by far (absolutely infuriating when I'm on the move, taken 5mins to attempt to reply to a topic only to have my effort blown into oblivion by the useless android or ipad browsers and have to then wait hours to redo it all at a PC) I had to ask.
Otherwise I love this place and hope to be here a long time!
