If you want to take risk you can install with this adds on Bitcointalk Mobile Friendly App for Android

As an alternative you can view with the wap version https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?;wap

Although viewing this forum through cell phone isn't good, but I don't want to take a risk to install those unsafe adds-on. The only hope is waiting until the new forum e.g. Epochtalk launched.

Am curious to know what becomes the fate of this forum, if Epochtalk is launched. Is it supposed to be more cell phone friendly and more app like in its nature and usage?

OP, one simple way to simplify the view of Bitcointalk on your mobile device, is to click on the drop down menu of your browser, where you can find bookmarks, history, share, recent tabs, refresh.
Then click on the desktop site button or box. It would optimize the view to fit your browser instantly.

Is there any way to make bitcointalk simple to use for mobile phone users? (You cam share some tips and tricks)
The view of bitcointalk in mobile phone is similar to pc view, but I need to zoom in and zoom out many times to read and write, is there any simplified view available of this forum like many websites have simplified view of websites.

Sometime when I am in my home then I will use PC and open bitcointalk and yes it's a good and easy to read and write post in a computer as we all know that big screen can facilitate all the topics and you don't need to zoom in and zoom out. But when I was in the work and in vacations or tour I'll use my phone to access bitcointalk and there's no problem in it even thou you need to zoom in and out when you read a post then still okay cause it will not cist too much time in short using phone is still good.

The longer you stay in the forum the more you get used to the current interface both on your pc or your mobile phone, zooming in to view the content of a thread is not really a big deal it takes less than a minute to get it done.

If the add-on that have been provided to you doesn’t work well then you should try and get an IOS because it adjusts the width of the forum better than when you’re using an android phone.

I don't think that there is yet any official application from Bitcoin Talk side to solve the issue and I have also noticed that the forum isn't much mobile friendly when it comes to viewing. I mostly browse the forum using my pc but sometimes when I'm outside I view it using my smartphone. I must say that if you want to have a better viewing experience on your smartphone then use the forum in a landscape mode because with portrait mode you have to zoom in and zoom out many times which isn't a good experience.

I think that the official developers of the forum may release mobile friendly application in future, and there are also chances that the other developers of the forum may also think about making an unofficial mobile friendly application in future. But, in current times the only solution for me is to use landscape view on my smartphone and it works like a charm for me.

Hey, whaddya know, another thread asking about a mobile-friendly version of bitcointalk! What's it been, like a month since the last one? It's probably only a few pages deep in Meta, OP.

Just busting your....genitals, whatever kind you've got. I think every time this comes up, I agree that Theymos ought to make an official app or whatever it takes to make the forum easy to use on a smartphone. I know about the homebrew plugin(s), but since the New Forum Software development seems to have stalled, our esteemed leader should listen to the plebs who provide the site traffic and give mobile users a break.

This will fall on deaf ears just like every other request that's been made.

I have a relatively large phone screen so I use Landscape Mode mode with forcing the phone to the desktop only mode. This will significantly reduce Zoom in and Zoom Out but keeps the real problem in writing and quoting, you need to read several times, adjust the text and click on Preview so it is difficult to create Long text, if you just want to browse, according to the size of your screen, the Landscape Mode mode will be appropriate.

With a different, more simple view, what will you do with it? Reading or typing your answer.

If you want to type your answer, a more simple view mode on mobile phone can not help you anything.

I don't really think there's anything wrong with the forum with this way it's now, I guess is just a matter of choice and how you want it because from my side most times I do enjoy's it viewing on a web version of it. That is to say, is already on a mobile view if you are using chrome browser but to set it on desktop view you can just tap on the 3 dot at your top right hand side depending on your version of chrome browser you are using and tap " desktop view" automatically your page will reload the screen of your phone turns as if you are viewing it with your PC. Most times I do switch it to be able to read some tiny text across the forum, I don't think any changes should be done.

Btw, I think there have been several post that relates with your topic which I think lots has been discussed concerned the view.

Not too much bad if we talk about it as sometimes I use it from my device although it's not compatible with it and you have to zoom in and out to adjust your screen but once you get used to it you find it normal.But for epochtalk new forum you can check out how much time has passed when we started discussing about it so can't say when we will see it.

have you tried landscape mode on your phone? if you don't want to download anything it is a good alternative. they usually are good when I use my phone to browse the forum and sometimes post, I rarely have to use Zoom to read or post, but I do need to zoom in when I want to go to the next page of the thread because my fingers are too fat to accurately click the page that I want.

I have used UC browser before and it would work. It has a dark mode and it will also help you to fit the posts to the screen. It deos not require anything than to download the app. But I do not know if the browser is open source or close source.

There are people on this forum from countries with poor power supply, the battery phone can offer with longer usage, laptops may not offer that. Some people can use phone successfully. But I use Duckduckgo while using phone.

Yea same experience here, but I think the view point of the webpages on Bitcointalk is designed for desktop. From the code outline, the charset and view point is coded to the desktop design [windows] you can find the code here.
