There is no mobile version of the website as yet
Any reason behind this ? Is it in progress ? 
Topic: Bitcointalk on the phone? (Read 582 times)
I'm rarely at home, and when I am, I hardly ever use my laptop anymore; thus, my phone is the go-to option. While it may not feature a mobile version, I'm totally fine with that. It may only be an issue if I'm creating a large topic with sources and photos that need to be arranged in order to be aesthetically pleasing and easier to lay out the paragraphs. Simple replies ranging from 50 to 200 words or even more are just fine; longer ones may simply take a little longer to write.
I've seen other forums using specialized software for mobile phones such as Tapatalk, which is convenient but, in my opinion, not necessary.

Some people says it suck some people say its better, Im actually prefer on desktop but it is very much possible I work on a phone as well. There is always plus and minus on every thing 
Sure, nothing is perfect. I agree with you, dude. 
I also prefer to use my laptop/PC, I rarely use my smartphone. Of course, there is some limitation on a smartphone because it has a smaller/narrower screen. Smartphone also has fewer features, that's why we can't expect the same performance as we use a laptop/PC. So, if we want better performance, ideally we use a laptop/PC. But if we aren't at home or outside, we can use a smartphone because it is difficult to bring a laptop/PC.
I am comfortable on both mobile and PC but I use my laptop for browsing the forum It is easy for me to type on the keyboard. I can type fast both on my keyboard and phone.
I'm sure the mobile device you are using is also quite good and has a large enough display. or your fingers which may be flexible enough not to be bothered by the mobile keyboard which is quite small in my opinion.most of the distracted are those who type using mobile keyboards, especially those with fat fingers. it is very uncomfortable.
whereas if only to access forums and read, using a mobile is not a problem although some users of course have to zoom in to get a fairly clear view. especially for those who already have vision problems.

and yes you need rotate or zoom in sometimes
i feel it too, but the big advantage is we can post at anytime without carry a heavy things like laptop
It works perfectly fine on my Android phone except for the fact that whenever I want to post or maybe read some comments I have to set my phone on auto-rotate then reduce the Zoom and am good to go. It makes me feel like am using my PC to access this forum but I still don't know why I prefer using my phone more than my PC🤔.

Forum is working good on IOS however I always prefer to use computer for forum interaction.
On the forum, I find it more convenient to use my mobile phone rather than my PC. My favorite experience has been with my mobile phone. I can type faster on a phone keyboard than on a PC keyboard, so I don't bother with a PC. If I ever have to do something that necessitates the use of a PC, I may switch, but for the time being, my mobile phone is the best option for me to use here in the forum because it does all of the basic things I need to do here without stress.
Maybe this is your first time using mobile phone, but try and navigate through the forum for some days with it, you’ll definitely enjoy using the mobile phone too in the forum.
Using bitcointalk on the phone is ok. Though it the forum is not optimized well for mobile I can use it very well. It is just a matter of habit, OP may be using this forum with his phone for the first time, it will take time to adjust on mobile interface.

Do you all view Bitcointalk on you PC? I have tried to read thorugh the mobile phone, but it becomes an endless hortizontal scrolling.
Do you have any tips how to mingle on Bitcointalk with my phone?
I use chromium to browse bitcointalk on mobile and it works fine for me whenever I feel it's difficult to read I use the zoom-in and zoom-out features and it makes sense too because the screen is smaller in size on smartphones compared to desktops along with there is no bitcointalk version available to optimize the site according to your device specs.Do you have any tips how to mingle on Bitcointalk with my phone?
You can use the landscape mode to get better coverage but I am not comfortable with it so I use zoom alone but my suggestion is you will get used to it once you have become familiar with bitcointalk.

I rarely use my phone for posting activities except to review the latest information, so even if you have activated the rotation of the phone for horizontal mode but we find it uncomfortable to zoom to read words and typing in mobile keywords is very annoying.Do you have any tips how to mingle on Bitcointalk with my phone?
I found an extension for the firefox browser to change the appearance of the bitcointalk website to be mobile, in my opinion the extension works well to change the appearance to be responsive for mobile. Extension owner is Fahbil also bitcointalk forum user so I'll quote the main thread posted.
Note : I've never used this extension because I'm a PC user, so please research before you install the extension.

Bitcointalk does not have a mobile view a lot of members to proposing to have this but some of them want to stick where it starts, there's nothing wrong with it, only way to make it is to pinch your screen to zoom in, also developing for the mobile view makes the hassle to the dev too since people here already used to it.
That's right. Bitcointalk does not have a mobile version, but you can still access it on your phone by using a mobile web browser. Some users prefer to use browser extensions such as "Reading Mode" or "Reader View" that can make the website more mobile-friendly. Additionally, you can try using a third-party app such as "Tapatalk" which allows you to access some online forums, although I'm not sure if Bitcointalk is still supported. I think I read somewhere that it doesn't work anymore.
Wouldn't the third party app be a treat to the user's password or private information in the forum. I've seen one in the forum that was said to be vulnerable in keeping user's details safe. I may not recommend third part apps for an anonymous a forum like BTT. However using the forum with a small screen resolution phone dulls the impression of staying to read responses word for word in the forum. I don't use it because of my eyes, those tiny writings on phone are not good for my sights. Though, when it's relevant to use the forum with a phone I'd do that, but that won't be when I have a PC around. The question should be would you use a phone to access the forum even when a PC is with you?

Not sure I'd even consider my phone secure enough, let alone the usability aspect. The only time I attempted to use the forum on a phone for writing was when I was traveling years ago. Not sure how some of you do it, even with a built in app SMF in particular would be difficult to build for.
Dunno, I consider opposite. Windows are targetted more than mobiles and if you use iOS device it's even more secure compared to android.
When I use mobile phones to access campaign spreadsheets, I usually run into the same problem. It takes longer to load and display all information in the spreadsheet. I have the Google Sheets App installed on my phone, but I still have the same problem, though not with all spreadsheets, just a few of them. I haven't tried opening those spreadsheets on a PC yet; perhaps it will be much easier to do so there.
It's because your phone has limited hardware, and your computer is both faster in terms of CPU speed, and likely RAM. Unless, you have a particularly limited computer, that is. Loading spreadsheets with more data will take a lot more resources. I'd disagree. Phone hardwares have developed significantly in last few years, sheet loading problem is likely related to software than hardware.
It works perfectly fine on my Android phone except for the fact that whenever I want to post or maybe read some comments I have to set my phone on auto-rotate then reduce the Zoom and am good to go. It makes me feel like am using my PC to access this forum but I still don't know why I prefer using my phone more than my PC🤔.
I don't even rotate, just zoom in/out in portrait mode, haven gotten so used to it ain't even conscious of it.

I spend the majority of my time on BTT using my phone, and the experience has been fantastic. In comparison to a PC, I wouldn't say there are many differences that make one feel uneasy or provide a poor user experience. Although it may be your first time, the experience with a mobile phone is relatively similar to that of a PC.
It's different cus you'll have to pinch to zoom out and in as the case might be( this happens when using phones). I also realized that I wasn't able to view some spreadsheets while using my mobile phone to access BTT, has anyone gotten some irregularities like that before?

If you have the Google Sheets app installed on your phone, you should have no problem accessing those kind of spreadsheets from your phone either. Which also includes pretty much every signature campaign spreadsheet.

I just load the desktop version via the mobile browser, and I'm good to go. Yeah, it's a bit weird to go about it, but it works like that so I don't have any major complaints.

Here is an post that contains a lot of information about this: Bitcointalk on mobile phones: A sight for sore eyes
There are many different approaches and ideas. I use the forum from time to time on my mobile devices and with a little practice it works (reasonably well).
There's no reason for me to access this forum using phone because it's not friendly, hard to quote anyone posts and doesn't comfortable to write due to small keyboard.
Access this forum using device also not good for my privacy and security, anyone shouldn't use public internet connection or access this forum in near of your friend or stranger, they might know this forum and recognize you're a Bitcoin holder.
