CP has a mobile version that works fairly well on my iPhone...

I just looked at CP's mobile skin. I doubt this old version of the board has a mobile template available. Invision stopped supporting this version a while ago.

 

One thing I'm going to do soon is make a new main header for the two red skins. The current Red Rocks one is an eyesore to me now, and at half a meg is way too big a file for a board header. I'm over the need to have a flashy animated image up there.

You mean this?

how about a mobile version of this site?

I don't own a smartphone, or a phone that can access the internet, or an iPad. I don't own a mobile device, so this is all alien to me. What would we have to do to make a mobile version of the site?

The vast majority of smartphones and tablets can access the site perfectly happily in "desktop PC" mode. The whole point of iPads, iPhones, etc is to get an authentic browsing experience, so mobile versions of sites, in my opinion, are redundant.

not too bad on a tablet, but on an iPhone or similar....mobile versions are better.....to me anyway.

I use a smartphone to access this site, FB and Photobucket. I don't own a PC or a laptop.

Most of my posts are made from my phone, but if I need to type a lot or mess around with pictures and stuff I'll use a computer. Mobile sites are redundant and just annoy me most of the time.

Agreed. The RIAB mobile site annoys me to hell. I've stopped visiting it entirely on my phone which used to account for about 75% of my visits.

I think you should have a paypal "DONATE" button on the main page, and add a little money bag symbol or something on the posting side panel to identify the people that donated. (kinda like the * for SOCN members)

Would it work if the member was from the UK? And using a cell phone instead of a laptop/PC?

I was thinking that maybe an admin can make a thread and update it everytime someone changes their username. Like post their original username and what they changed it to.

It took me about a week before I figured out that he changed his name.

^^^ Yes, that. Time to replace that with something simpler, classier and less gaudy. I'm already working on it. wink.gif

For what it's worth, I still love it and think it's brilliant and I will be sad to see it go. sad.gif

 

I like making animated gifs and that is one of the coolest and well thought out one's I've seen. I'm no artist or anything, but I think it's great. Especially because it's a .gif and alot of times they come out looking really grainy and horrible. That one looks amazing IMO.

Okay here's something that's been bothering me for a while:

 

Whenever you are logged in and inactive for like 15 min, it marks all posts on the forum as read. Is there a way to change that? It forces me to have to check the whole forum at once if I want to use the go to last post option.

It marks ALL the posts as read? Like, when viewing them from inside a forum (RS, for example)?

GG must have stuff to do outside this site because the Anthems have not been updated yet laugh.gif

Exactly right. She'll get around to it.

 

I think Jag2112 put them all on his Cygnus-X1 site so that will make it easier.

There are a few typos in there...

Yeah, I remember seeing a few. Luckily for us, GG is a master at spoting typos. yes.gif

The whole album? I know you sent Headlong Flight a while back.

 

Jag2112's were scanned from the CD booklet, I believe.

Yeah. I just forwarded to you. I figured her plate was full and she just didn't get to it.

 

I lifted it fron Jags. There was a typo or two and a couple of sentences left off a couple intros. I believe I fixed all errors.p

Well say I'm reading posts. Then I get interrupted and leave the computer for 20 min. When I come back and go back to the main forum page, or home page, all posts have been marked as read, except for posts in the last 20 min. wacko.gif
