Carl Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 We've set up a mobile version of Songfacts, so when you access the site from a mobile device, you should get pages optimized for little screens. We're kind of new to this, so any feedback you guys can give is much appreciated. I try to avoid talking on a mobile phone, much less surfing the web on it, but if Internet by phone is your thing, go to Songfacts and see what you think.

Levis Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Oh I used to browse SF by phone when I was in Delhi via GPRS. I couldn't browse much though because I'd get a 'memory full' message after a couple of pages. But that's probably just my outdated phone. I tried on a fancier model with Opera as a web browser and it was just fine. I can't try it here yet because I haven't subscribed to GPRS so I'm not quite sure how helpful past experience is. What I can say is that smaller pages are good since some operators charge per Kb downloaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenacious_Peaches Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 I checked it on my Treo and it looks great, Carl. Very user friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Posted April 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Thanks TP. It's real hard to know how these are going to look on various devices, so any feedback is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenacious_Peaches Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Would it be possible to have the message boards in a mobile format? My internet at home is screwy Louie and unfortunately I've been actually working at work lately. This leaves me with no message board access and I'm going through withdrawals. It would be awesome if I could peek in now and again on my fancy phone. Just a thought. I have no idea what kind of time or effort this would entail. Don't hurt yourself if it ain't easy.

Tenacious_Peaches Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 I'm digging this up from the dead because I have a new fancy phone and I would love to be able to check out the boards on it. Wait, you aren't supposed to end a sentence with a preposition. I would love to be able to check out the boards on it, yo. Can the great Greek computer dude make this happen?

Levis Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 'it' is not a preposition BUT I prefer version 2.0 so all is good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenacious_Peaches Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 I was still drunk from my otc sleep medicine when I wrote that this morning. However, you are right. The use of "yo" does make everything better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skybluesky Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 "I'm sorry, you have one month to live, yo." Yep, Yo does make every sentence better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Posted May 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 I don't have one of those fancy phones. What happens when you try to check the boards on one? And should I get a Droid or an iPhone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenacious_Peaches Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 I can see the boards but they're teeny tiny. If I make it big enough to see I have to keep scrolling across and then back. The mobile friendly main site is set up where everything fits on one screen and you just have to scroll down to keep reading. I would say the Droid because it looks like it does a lot of cool stuff and because I don't like anything i-related. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skybluesky Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 George Lucas owns the word Droid. And Star Wars is bad ass, so go Droid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Levis Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 I say go Droid because the iPhone doesn't have bluetooth. Nothing to do with the site, but srsly - no bluetooth??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Posted May 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 Looks like we can use the boards in a mobile version: Control Panel >> Display Settings >> User Template You'll see a dropdown menu, click "smallscreen", and you're tiny! "Default" puts you back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Levis Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 doesn't your phone have the option of viewing things in normal/small size? most phones give you the choice so they adapt web pages to the screen's constraints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
