Thanks for your suggestion guys. I try chrome mobile and rotate my phone to horizontal, it has better look. It's still hard to move around forum, threads, posts and pages.

I was even having this taught About Bitcointalk forum, as in the side of (activities) one can't delete several or multiple activities at a Go! Just like that of messages you can tick up the ones you want to delete and once done you click delete all and it's gone but on the activities you can. I want this action to be included.

Have been making use of my mobile on this forum, over 3 years now i think the idea you want to pull up here is https://bitcointalk.org forum should have a mobile App whereby the view should be readable. I make use of the zoom in and zoom out always to read which is a little complicated but use to this method.

Hi all. I surf forum on my phone and it does not auto scale. It's very hard to read. Seems that forum does not have mobile version?

Better not to trust any third party apps or add-on as it would and can somehow contain a script that knows your account's username and password and even risk your privacy.. Just keep using and using your phone accessing the desktop version of the forum because soon you'll get used to it. yet as far as i know opera browser would rescale the forum to fit onto mobile device view. Check it out!

No idea, try clearing data of app, restart your net connection or smth.

Tried switching between WiFi and cellular, clearing the cache, no dice.

Works fine on Brave and Opera though.

@DroomieChikito: Kiwi has ads enabled by default so there was no ad-blocker installed.

If you are on android, use kiwi browser, it automatically scales down so you don't have to zoom in/out,
I tried to installed and look the same as others.

Not sure why, but Bitcointalk kept closing the connection whenever I attempted to access it on Kiwi...
or try to turn off the built-in ad block

It would be interesting to know how many more users there would be, or how many would stick around, with a proper mobile interface or app. It must be a sizeable number. Billions of people only have a phone for internet usage. If that was my one and only option I couldn't take being here.

Actually there's no need for an app, a responsive theme is all it takes.

Having to switch between an app and the browser is kinda bothersome IMHO. Then there are lots of phones which don't support the double-tap or gestures to seamlessly go back and forth.

There is no official mobile App, and honestly, I would not provide my account access to any of the few unofficial attempts at creating one either. The topic is raised every now and then
Yeah, I don't access bitcointalk that much on mobile anymore but I wouldn't use one of those unofficial apps/mods/whatever.  And yeah, there's been quite a bit of discussion about this topic.

And the discussion is not without merit, either.  It would be a nice, modern touch if Theymos would make the site mobile-friendly, and it's puzzling to me why he hasn't done so.  I don't mind what others say is an outdated look to the forum, but making a website that looks and functions better on smartphones seems like something that should have been done a long time ago.

See? Mobile users are very important to maintain ever since smartphones become the norm. Even Google prompts me to consider setting up AMP for them on my website because they play a huge factor in UX and website ranking.

You can say desktop reigns supreme but we can't bring them outside. And you can forget laptops and tablets because they're still cumbersome to carry around or stick into the pocket respecively.

Using a desktop is still the best option because we read, type, quite a lot. Big phones are always an advantage to use when it comes to this kind of website.
A forum is most likely is reading a lot of information we already expect that the only option is to get a bigger phone. Just my option but we might need to create a reliable mobile version to get a better experience but even if we did a small phone is still a small phone.

Sure a bigger screen does help of course, but it's not the only solution. The Reddit app I'm personally using, Relay, is GREAT in terms of UI and UX, even though I could also be viewing huge walls of text.

After agonising research in the past, the best solution i opted in mobile was UC Browser (+3 years tho?). There is a scale option whenever i zoom in or out. It may look awkward the first days but once you get used to it, things gonna be ok. I just use it for bitcointalk and it is safe.

If I had to use the full version of this forum on a phone with manual scaling I would have to end it all. Quoting is fucking unbearable. It can take nearly an age to trim a quote and I usually hit the wrong button somewhere and have to start again.


This. The worst when it comes to multi-quotes. You scroll to the OP and the pointer just zooms all the way back up.

For security reasons on the other hand, I don't like installing mobile apps. Even though I only store a small amount of Bitcoin in my mobile wallet, I keep my phone as clean as possible.
I agree with you. Phones should be kept as clean as possible. It is especially important for crypto investors. Risks and hacks are existing and can happen anytime (with banks, crypto, etc.) but with crypto investors their clean condition of their phones should be maintained. There is no one is responsible to recover our crypto back if our devices got hacked or compromised.

Before online banking, you needed to download a program on your PC to dial in to the bank. I never used those, and they were all replaced by online banking through the bank's website. But for mobile devices, many companies are moving back to having customers download and install software again. Needless to say, I don't use those either.
The COVID-19 pandemic forced some curious and likely stupid people installed some newborn softwares. They put themselves at risks by installing such apps.

Some banking apps actually incorporate the security keyboard and offer better functionalities such as paying credit cards.

But then some also ask for access to Files and Storage which makes me go WTF. Maybe for downloading statements, who knows.
