John E Woven Posted July 28, 2009 Report Posted July 28, 2009 Maybe we could have a theme for those of us who surf regularly on a mobile device such as a smartphone or ipod. Couple seconds on google brings up a simple vbulletin theme that could work: Mobile, Cell, Phone, PDA, iPhone Style - vBulletin.org Forum
CarlSeibert Posted July 28, 2009 Report Posted July 28, 2009 Would be nice. Head Case is almost comfortable on my WM phone now, but a real mobile presentation would be better. The other forum, on the other hand, is un-viewable on my phone. -Carl
postjack Posted July 28, 2009 Report Posted July 28, 2009 i know we all slammed some newbie for requesting this a couple years back, but these days 90% of my HC viewing is from my iPhone, so I'm all for this.
Hopstretch Posted July 28, 2009 Report Posted July 28, 2009 Yikes. Have to say I prefer the standard format on my iPhone. Is there a way to not default to the Mobile theme when on a mobile device?
tkam Posted July 28, 2009 Report Posted July 28, 2009 stretch, should be back to normal, i'm working on an alternate idea.
tkam Posted July 28, 2009 Report Posted July 28, 2009 ok crappy mobile theme will be loaded automatically if you go here: http://mobile.head-case.org you can switch back the normal theme by clicking the "default style" link on the bottom

There is already a mobile themed version? Was it there already, or did you guys jump on Johnny's suggestion double plus quick? And if it comes to it, I'd vote for two different URLs for mobile and normal version. Sometimes, the normal version of a site is worth the extra effort. I get annoyed when my phone gets automatically redirected to the mobile version. -Carl Edited July 28, 2009 by tkam
tkam Posted July 28, 2009 Report Posted July 28, 2009 For iphone/itouch users there's also an app you can buy called Tapatalk. It's not free (I believe its $2.99) which sucks, but it's basically a native interface for vbulletin forums. I'm not going to current recommend it as the 2-3 people I have testing it complain about how slow it is and the current version doesn't support PM's. The developer has a new version that is supposedly much faster and supports PM's but they are stuck waiting for apple to approve it. If it does turn out to be much faster I'll start recommending it.

Dusty Chalk Posted July 28, 2009 Report Posted July 28, 2009 So now I'm well confused. There is already a mobile themed version? Was it there already, or did you guys jump on Johnny's suggestion double plus quick?It's not so much "double-plus-quick" as tkam is just that good/efficient, that it seems fast to the naked eye. Like watching a hummingbird flap its wings -- to a human, it's really really fast, but to the hummingbird it's just another day in the life.
John E Woven Posted July 29, 2009 Author Report Posted July 29, 2009 This mobile theme works well on my bold; I now expect my work productivity to drop even more. Thanks for helping me slack off even more.
CarlSeibert Posted July 29, 2009 Report Posted July 29, 2009 i was having a problem earlier todau where, if i went Usr CP - subscribed threads - some thread, i would drop out of the mobile theme. buy now is working fine on my Motoro la Q99c.

postjack Posted July 29, 2009 Report Posted July 29, 2009 Todd, is headcase on the "tapatalk network"? if so I'll happily guinea pig the new version.
tkam Posted July 29, 2009 Report Posted July 29, 2009 It is, and Dan has been testing it out and he says its faster than the old version and has PM support now. So I think it's pretty safe to recommend it for those iphone/itouch users who want the best way to view HC on your device. It's $2.99 and here's the itunes store link for it: iTunes Store
Hopstretch Posted July 29, 2009 Report Posted July 29, 2009 Hey, this is pretty neat! Thanks Tkam (and Dan).
postjack Posted July 29, 2009 Report Posted July 29, 2009 this is cool, thanks! much faster and easier to read then safari. easier to type and post as well (no random bullshit slow typing).
postjack Posted July 29, 2009 Report Posted July 29, 2009 tapatalk has trouble with the larger threads (slow forum, last bought). it generates 10 posts, from seemingly random times.
Dreadhead Posted July 30, 2009 Report Posted July 30, 2009 Tried out mobile.head-case.org and it works great. Thanks
postjack Posted July 30, 2009 Report Posted July 30, 2009 tapatalk truly can't handle the epic threads. it displays the same 9 or 10 posts everytime when clicked on via the Latest Posts function. the "bought" thread always displays when deepak bought an L3000. . so I can't recommend it. I'm back to using mobile dot headcase via safari.

I'm back to using mobile dot headcase via safari. Maybe tkam can send them a bug report? Then they can fix it and, after a swift four-month review, the new version will hit the App Store for a week before it is suddenly pulled with no real explanation (apart from the standard "duplicates exisiting functionality" bullshit) because AT&T objected. Or, perhaps, MI6. Ignore me. I'm a little jazzed about the Google Voice thing.
