Mobile style template

[gyman98]

thanks Will and Matt for your hard work keeping this forum going. Wonder if you could do one tweak and turn off the mandatory mobile style assignment? Even if it was optional that would be great!

Can you describe what may need tweaked on it? And thank you.

Im using a older version of vbulletin but it should be here: Settings -> Options -> Style and Language Options

its assigning a mandatory style to mobile devices, would be nice to opt out as it doesn’t leave a lot of options for mobile users

The new VBulletin verbage and way they have it listed is quite different. This is supposed to be a mobile friendly version. If I cannot figure it out, i will see what Will can discover. Thanks

gyman98,

Are you on a mobile device? If yo most phone/tablet devices force request a mobile friendly version. However most of those browsers also support the ability with in the devices browser to force it to display the "desktop" version of a site. However with the newer version of the Forum the look is so dramatically different you might be seeing the desktop view, I will post an image of what it looks like below: PWA New Forum.jpg

gyman98, Yes that's the Mobile Version. It's the nature of the modern browsers and software trying to deliver a user friendly appearance. However you can request the Desktop View on an Apple Device be following the directions below:

How to request the desktop version of a website in mobile Safari

• Visit the affected site in Safari.
• Tap and hold the Refresh button in the URL bar.
• Tap Request Desktop Site.
• The website will then reload as its desktop version.

Thanks Will, I had tried that as well. Oh well, it will give me a excuse to dust off the old PC every once in a while

This template sure looks different. But so far, it's a lot easier to read on this phone than the old forum. That one I had to magnify and shrink and 'move' side to side to read everything. I like how this one 'shrinks to fit' my screen..

Yea, the change from Version 3 to version 5 of the Forum is dramatic, but the phone usage is much easier.
