I believe theymos is making an updated bitcointalk. (beta)

I believe that bitcointalk(beta) has been there for a couple of years already.

anyway to get a mobile view on youre cellphone? I can only view it in desktop mode which makes it harder to scroll and read.

Pretty sure it's easy to browse and scroll, you just need to zoom in and read the whole thing, no problems. Unless you have some problems with your vision that really hurts to view on small texts. Also, we have had a version of bitcointalk in tapatalk last 2015 (not sure if it:s still supported) and even that app views the forum as is.

Well bitcointalk on PC is the same on CP version just need to use the right browsers and I'd recommend Chrome since its easy to use and compatible with bitcointalk.

I'll make my first post here and say that I own both an Android and Windows mobile device and that I have no problems navigating this forum on both devices. Chrome, Edge, and UC all work just fine on mobile for me.

I'm not against any changes, but I do hope that I can continue to browse with ease.

If anyone is using UC Browser on their mobile and things are looking ugly and broken, check to see if your Speed Mode - if your version has one - is turned on. If it is, turn it off and see if it makes a difference. Speed Mode is great for reading single page news articles, but may not be so great for viewing forums much less posting in them.

1) Is there any reason this forum uses SMF 1.1.9? Version 2.0.X is available.

A new open-source forum software is developed so I don't see the need to migrate to SMF 2.0 when in the near future we are going to ditch SMF completely.

Thanks

Which phone do you use ? I can post/browse the forum from my Iphone without any problems,so do the Android users.

Even I don't have any problem posting and browsing the forum from my Android phone and for me bitcointalk current layout is working fine both on desktop and mobile phone so don't think if I would like the current layout to be changed I have got used to it a lot.

Im the very decease you pretend to be

Another thing is why not to add some plugins to forum to make it easier to handle?
Like character counter, or word counter in the post. Its not sever side so no additional load.
If you in some bounty campaign they will require you to post certain amount of characters or words every now and then.
If text box for new post would count characters and words it will be ....nice ...i dont know.

I used to think that bitcointalk looks terrible in comparison to other forums. While I was using it more often I started to appreciate the simplicity and speed of current forums software. As someone said, a new software is being developed. There was a link to beta version of the site somewhere.

I dont really care how it looks, but i would really like mobile version. And it not simple at all , search results can be much better.Search can be faster, and i dont really understand timeouts on search attempts. The whole hierarchy system of topics is not efficient. Forces you to use search, which is limited and slow.
Its awesome resource no doubt. But it can be much better.

I also would like to see a mobile-optimized theme so that it is easier to use the forum on my tiny Android screen.

Right now it "works", but it's difficult to use, and requires zooming in..

The current layout is comfortable and easy to read, so I hope it will always be an option. I view posts on the same computer that I use to run my node, so moving to a mobile is not an option for me.

Similarly I don't have any issues with the current layout, everybody is different though. theymos can't please everybody, will always be some disgruntled users.

I don't have problems with it either--but I would definitely appreciate a mobile-friendly upgrade. I don't think Theymos gives a shit about the quality of this forum, though, and not just the outdated features. All those donations went to what, exactly? That's a genuine question. There may be legitimate uses for the money I'm totally ignorant of, but we've been hearing about this "new forum" for ages now, and meanwhile the forum has turned to shit because of shitposters.

OP, you're on the money.

I never had any issues with bitcointalk by visiting it from smartphone, despite that my smartphone is already old. I'm using forum on mobile more often than on PC. I don't know why you can't use forum on mobile. For me, forum loads fast, text size is good, sometimes I jist need to zoom in when I need to click something.
Honestly, I don't know many forums which works better on mobile than bitcointalk (except these who have mobile version).

Me too, I'm actually been using and exploring the forum using my phone and I don't have any problems about it. It feels like your still using your computer since there has no difference or something. But there are just some browsers that isn't compatible for bitcointalk such as UC and Firefox.
