Again note that it's only the Iphone people complaining.   Does the Iphone not automatically scale up fonts to a legible size and make the pictures fit to screen??   :rolleyes:

Android is the same, you have to zoom in and out and scroll the pictures but it's rare I use my phone to look at a forum while I'm out and about... very rare.

I find this forum a breeze on iPhone.

To see the pics just scroll on them with 2 fingers.

Am I the only one that doesn't like apps/tapatalk.

E38 has a mobile website skin which I find absolutely perfect and all in the home of the browser.

I also have the images cut off issue on my Desire.

I think the big thing about using a forum app such as Tapatalk is that it cuts down on load times vs using a browser on your phone. That and it offers alot more options then even a basic forum does. (or maybe i havent figured out how to use them in this forum.) Such as viewing posts that you have participated in; showing posts that are new and unread; and even free image hosting. I remember seeing JVs post awhile ago when tapatalk was brought up and his concern was forum security. I'm a member of many other forums some bigger and some smaller, and they all use tapatalk and havent had any security issues (atleast none brought up to the public.) All in all yea using a browser still works but it's all about ease of use right?

Turn off Avatars and signatures in your settings, under the quick links in the top right. Pages load much quicker on PC/Laptop and phones.
