Boards.ie Mobile - boards.ie on your portable device

G_R

Hi,

Apologies if it has been mentioned all ready, i don't fancy reading through 400+ posts, but would it be feasible or even possible to create an Android and iPhone/Pod/Pad app for boards?

I find apps much easier and clearer to use than mobile versions of sites, and i would definitely use boards more when I'm on the go.

Thanks
Dan

Fago!

Multi quote button would be nice pleeeze.

Also, if I try quote a very long post using boards mobile, it just crashes my phone browser and my phone turns off. It's a pain in the Ed Balls because it signs me out of boards when that happens (aswell as many other sites I'm logged into on my phone)

Any way of making it so we can quote long posts on mobile?

BTW if that just happens to me and no-one else, ingore that

Not for a long time I'd say

When I reply or try to compose a thread on the mobile site whe writing is so small it's totally unreadable. I'm using an iPhone.
It's really painfully on the eyes trying to read it.

Fago!

Like mega long.

I'd say roughly this long:

or something like that. I've been using the meteor wap browser thing that came with my phone. I use Opera Mini sometimes but I never tried quoting long posts.

Id love to see two things added to PMs for Mobile;
1) Reply to All -- Handy for mods group chats.
2) BCC/CC options.

Something to consider.

Is it just me?? Or can other people read what they're typing when starting a thread?

I've been getting that one for the past week or so too. Received a invalid response (which isn't grammatically correct, but I digress)

However, it definitely seems to have gotten worse today. I know Boards was down for a bit last night for maintenance, just wondering if that has anything to do with it. Today on the mobile site, some pages are also not loading properly when they do load. Text different, no colour background etc.

I'm on an android phone on Vodafone.

Thanks

One of the guys in the office tested it here for me and got the same thing. He also explained what the story is.

Vodafone (on some plans) wrap our site to show ads on it. When you see "invalid response", that's text being served from Vodafone.

Barrington flagged this with me on Twitter, I've tested and I'm seeing the same errors - both the invalid response and plain text/white page.

I'm going to raise this to the the tech team.

Barrington / Captain - can I ask what devices and APNs you're using?

The developer who replicated in the office here was also using the Live! APN.

Sam Vimes

If you change your live settings to bypass the proxy pages should load without the ads but often they're still not processed correctly

Thanks Captain, Ross & Conor.

Seems to be the Live APN alright. I've opened a ticket with the network management team and I'll keep you updated.

If it's any help, another of the developers in here who has an Android phone and is on the Vodafone network but not on the Live APN is not seeing the problem.

A few times today there was no problem with going through a few pages on Boards, then it goes.

racso1975

Tried it 10 times this morning and only managed to load the home page twice and get past the home page once.

It's exceptionally frustrating. I'm using a nokia 6700 classic and same problem on the partners nokia C7

Live APN also broken for me on m.boards.ie

ISP works fine but costs me credit!

Getting "received a invalid response" on www.boards.ie and m.boards.ie on iPhone. 1 out of ten attempts might show me a page. Only on 3G not wifi.

Keith186

So far so good for me today on the live apn. Every page loaded fine so far in the last 15 minutes.

Haven't had a problem with it all day myself.

Is there somewhere to fit a 'mark all read' button? I find that my subbed list almost constantly shows that there are new posts in some forums, even when I'm sure I've opened all the threads on the first page.

Writing it soo small. Impossible to read when writeing new threads

Ross

Heya, if you've got a touch enabled device, you might like this.

Fago!

Can we get some way to look at/respond to visitor messages?

I uses to get that on vodafone too.
Disconnect data and reconnect it, should sort it out.
