Tablet/Touch

[PandaLeah]

Hey just a suggestion, and I know the "paid" app is out there.. but making this site more "touch/tablet" friendly would be great for those who are tired of hitting the send/submit button on accident.

isn't that what the Mobile style is for? (bottom left dropdown)

[Harley Quinn]

^ that.


Also I use my iPod touch some of time I'm on here and never seem to have that problem, you just have to watch your fingers and where they go, they do end up touching everything I know. You get used to using the forums on a tablet/touch though.

I'm always using my iPod for this website and I don't have too many problems but there are some things that are hard to control such as the search drop down menu but there's not much anyone but the vBulletin creators can do. You just have to get used to it.

You have to remember too that this series of vBulletin was designed before ipods, smartphones, iPhone, Android, etc. Its out of date in the sense of mobile device accessibility but its still feasible to access the forums via the normal style or even the mobile style.

Tapatalk has a nice app for the iPad and I use it regularly.

When I'm on my iPod Touch (Gen4) I don't have any issues. Sure it takes a little practice, but the site is very usable with it.

I use the normal desktop version of the site, haven't tried out Tapatalk yet.

[Magus]

Tapatalk is epensive, so I use the normal site when I am on my talblet.

If you're on an Android tablet, I've found that Opera (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.opera.browser&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5vcGVyYS5icm93c2VyIl0.) handles this forum the best. All the other browsers in the Play Store are super fucking slow on here.

I use an app called InBrowser that loads it pretty good. It's a private browser also, so if you are trying to keep VT a secret, it works well.

try to make a app that is free maybe

GovTeen tried to make their own app and it got rejected by Apple because of the puberty sections.

There's a number of reasons why this wouldn't work.

Mainly though, someone would have to do it, and due to the amount of information it would require, it would have to be a staff member, since members would not be able to get this info. And as Ant said, it'd probably get denied because of puberty, haha.

If you have problems, you can use the mobile viewing of VT as said already.

While I (or somebody else) could make an "app", I don't see the need for it. It would be neat, sure, and it might get used. But there really is no need for it. The normal version works just fine, and you can view it with your browser, like you are now. If you are hitting the wrong button, almost every browser has a zoom function, which should hopefully make it bigger and harder to miss. Apple boasts about it a lot, you know, and they keep trying to sue Google for the gestures used.
