that helps users to read anything from the forum without zooming the page.

I don't think there will ever be a mobile application for the forum. The forum is ultimately a website, and it is fairly unusual to have mobile apps for websites.

It would probably be beneficial if different CSS styling was used when a small screen is detected. Or a m.bitconitalk.org domain could be used that serves pages with different CSS styling, such as larger fonts, or other customizations.

and it's a pain in the ass even for those who have 20/20 vision.

I think that it's not even the reading that's the worse... One can get used to keep rotating his phone and zoom in or out by his needs.
The most painful is handling the quotes (especially the nested ones) in your replies. Cheesy

The pain of trying to remove the quotes within the tiny box only to scroll all the way down/ up and highlight everything

I am one of the many members who do, the thing is, it was a bit difficult and a bit weird at first for me, but with time I got used to all the hassles associated with accessing the forum through my mobile phone. I think people who still complain about the forum not having a mobile version are users who are newcomers to the forum or users who mostly use their PC and try out the site on mobile once in a while. But having said that, I don't think it's appropriate to allow users get used to the trouble of using the site on their phone when the problem can easily be solved by creating a mobile-friendly version of the website.

Normally I need to put glasses for reading from mobile browser😪

Well, keep those glasses on for the time being, because this issue has been raised multiple times over the span of at least a few years, and as far as I know Theymos has no intention to create a mobile-friendly version of the site.

But as I've written in those other threads, I agree that there should be an official mobile-friendly version of bitcointalk. Those "workarounds" might be fine, but given how much money this forum has, there doesn't seem to be any reason why there hasn't been an upgrade for smartphones. Personally, I don't access the forum on my phone but I know a lot of members do, and it's a pain in the ass even for those who have 20/20 vision.

Questions about why Bitcointalk doesn't have a mobile-compatible app have been asked numerous times in the past year. Nothing like that will be created on this version of the forum software, but there is optimism that we can see it on the upcoming forum.

Here are just some of the other threads asking the same question:

But what if Bitcointalk has any mobile application?🤔

The upcoming or rather the future forum software ^[Epochtalk] is already mobile-friendly ^[responsive] and you can even try it out and see how it'll feel when it's released ^{[it's not the final version]}: Coinbistro.com - Epochtalk testing grounds
^{- Personally, I really enjoyed viewing it with a mobile device.}

In the meantime, you can try the following workarounds:

- Wap2 ^[responsive]: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?;wap2
  - The remaining versions are:
    - Wap ^{[it doesn't come with the ability to create posts but it's responsive]}.
    - Imode ^{[it comes with the ability to create posts but it's not responsive]}.
Note: Every single one of these versions has its own limitations and depending on how each post is formatted ^{[e.g. those with tables]}, viewing it using any of the above versions might be a nightmare.

Like any other threads about this aand any other replies in this kind of thread, it's unlikely to happen and @theymos himself doesn't have any clear stance regarding this so, the only thing that we can do is to wait and just not care about all of this stuff because it's not really that important to consider.

I don’t really like the ancient interface of Bitcoin forums. Mobile applications will bring us great convenience. Fortunately, Bitcoin forums are not chat rooms, so the demand for mobile terminals is not very strong.

Your thoughts have been shared by many others and is a proposed addition to the new forum software, but that has delayed for so long that I wouldn't keep my fingers crossed.

Me neither.

But I don't think it works anymore, does it? From that thread:

Not sure if op is still active, possible to make chrome extension as well? Because many mobile browsers support chrome extensions (kiwi, yandex) while not Firefox ones.

Last seen July 2018, not a good sign.

I happened to see someone posting about this mobile addon but noted the OP has been inactive for over a year.

So chances are pretty slim if he would update Firefox's, let alone create one for Chrome.

Do you use it?

On the other hand, it doesn't bother me much either, as I'm used to it. A mobile version would be better, but it's always worse than PC.

I'm active from both pc and mobile. It never makes any different while reading, I face problem while posting. Form mobile, it’s little hard to organize a post and write while from pc, one can perfectly organize a post. Without this, it makes no difference for me.

Limited in number. Limitless in potential.

There is one before but an unofficial one, due to security reasons people discourage to use it. There are temporary solutions made like the addons (link above) but actually zooming and zooming out is the only solutions on that while using mobile device.

Goodnight, o_e_l_e_o 🌹

Surely it's a nice thought. It had been shared previously by many, and I believe @Theymos has seen it countless times, by now has made some decisions based on that. For the meantime, it will be fine you get used to accessing the forum from mobile. Because no one knows how long it will take, only if it's considered.
To avoid zooming out often, you can set your smart phone to double tap magnification. When tapped and keeping your finger down, you can hover and enjoy a more convenient view rather than rotating your mobile phone.

I'll keep that mind. But i think, its high time to adopt new features.
