One other thing. The persistent menu bar is not good. Especially in landscape mode on a phone, where it fills 1/3 of the screen and can't be dismissed. Makes viewing landscape orientation photos nearly impossible unless you want to view it in portrait where it's very small. And then you can't zoom in on photos because the mobile site won't allow zooming.

It is possible to make a good mobile site...a few tweaks should make it good on the phone side, but I do NOT want forced mobile view on my iPad. That needs to be standard by default and persistent regardless.

For images that are hosted on FM, tap on them and they open in a new window...then you can zoom. Not perfect, I don't like the persistent menu either (keep it at the top of the page that scrolls).

Just swapped back to the standard version for use on my iPad. I like being able to see the poster information and be able to expand the screen with a swipe. Mobile site may be nice on an iPhone.

Back to the standard version for me. I like to zoom with the ipad. Was unable to do that. My old tired eyes need to enlarge the text.

Looking great.
1. Can the PM message box also be larger?
2. When I send a pm is it possible to go back to the post? Perhaps by opening a new window when sending a pm.

Thanks.

The FM Mobile code was primarily designed for smartphones and perhaps small tablets.
Some members may find it useful when viewing in regular size tablets but IMO the standard full site is a better option for these devices. Tablets were never meant to have the 'mobile' code by default. This will be fixed.

Jman13, I find your feedback very helpful. The mobile/standard preference is now stored in a cookie and should not be an issue any more. The persistent header was also disabled.

We will get this working.
All the best,
Fred

There was an issue where the text font size was increasing when changing the device to landscape orientation.
That is now fixed as well.

Yes. It use to say something like 1-PM or 2-PM.

The country/city fields were added for the buy and sell boards only.

Yes, city and state info would be great in the Buy and Sell forum. Since most of us will only buy/sell within the US. Thanks for doing the other suggestion. I love the borders around the boxes.

With respect, I do not wish to view the site via the new version. Please, can there be an "election" page, the remembers the user's choice such that the requested layout is persistant?

To reiterate, I prefer the prior behavior and don't want this mobile version.

Also, "hidden" users are popped out on the right side of the screen, gobbling up 50% of the display's width. :/

Thank you for the efforts anyway.

My tablet is staying with the selected version. Is yours defaulting to the mobile version everytime?

I just started seeing it on my iPad this morning. I'm so used to the conventional version that it was a bit disorienting when I first saw it. I commend you for developing this though. I wish you good luck and success with it. I'll give it a whirl and see if I adapt to it.

Fred: I actually really like the changes. It looks great on ipad mini and iphone. I like how you added the page numbers at the top of the screen too. What would cool is to have a botton to go forward and one to go back on pages.

I have made some changes to the code. I really appreciate the feedback.

The Mobile code will only default on a smartphone. (with the option to use the full standard site if desired)
For tablets or any other devices, it will default to the full standard site.

It's very easy to switch back in forward if desired. Just click on the Standard or Mobile version at the bottom of every page.

Thanks Fred. The mobile site on a phone works a lot better now with the menu bar and font changes. It's pretty enjoyable on a phone and much easier to read and navigate.
