Hi all,

In the past the DMT-nexus looked already pretty good on the new smartphones. However, when you looked at a thread via the modern mobile browsers it always showed you the text of the posts while you could not see who made those posts without having to scroll to the left, not very handy to say the least.

I now made a mobile view where the userbox with the member avatar is hidden. That way you can scroll through the posts and see who made the posts at the same time.

The options for the mobile view are quite diverse. Not only can you force the forum to show you the mobile view, you can also let the forum auto-detect if you are on a mobile device and show you the best possible view. That is very handy for people who both have a normal desktop and a mobile device.


You can set the following options via edit your profile:

Autodetect Mobile View

This switches on the automatic detection of mobile devices.

It works pretty good and it should detect all modern mobile devices. If however your device is not detected as a mobile device then check this page with your MOBILE DEVICE(!) and PM me the text you see on that page. That way I can probably include your device as a mobile device to detect.


Force Mobile View

This overrides the [Autodetect Mobile View] setting and will show you the mobile view regardless if you are detected as a mobile device or not.


Use low bandwidth setting when in Mobile View

This option is meant to spare you some data traffic. The following measures are taken if you switch on this option:
* The logo banner at the top will show a special low bandwidth version (less beautiful but still functional).
* All ATTACHED images are now max 400pixels wide (normally they are 800pixels wide).


Show no Signatures when in Mobile View

When switched on, it will not show the signatures while in mobile view. This will safe bandwidth and valuable screen area.


I hope you all enjoy this new functionality. :)


Kind regards,

The Traveler
 
Very nice, I was thinking about this recently. Even a free app would be nice if we could somehow incorporate the entire website into it.

Probably not since I added another addition to the mobile settings:


Show no Signatures when in Mobile View

Wow, thank you Trav! I don't have a smart phone but maybe it'll help me browse a little better when I'm on my stupid phone. :)
 
This is so much better! I have been stuck with only web access on a crappy phone now for ages and having to scroll left and right all the time on here was getting irritating. Great work traveler!
