bagsieblue Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 (edited) The "Viewing On Mobile / where are you from" etc posts. I see at the bottom of the each page on mobile view a button stating Full Version - can everybody see this? Which then opens up more information on the members posts (admitted location not always on there - but more often that not it is) Is it browser / device specific? Must admit it's something that puzzles me. Edited June 19, 2016 by bagsieblue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazed Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 (edited) Yes it's there on iPhone. Full version option works on device too but it's not very practical. Full version is what you see on a desktop. Edited June 19, 2016 by Dazed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazed Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Too much info to cram into the handheld screen size. Constantly zooming in and out. I use the mobile version mostly as I very rarely use anything other than the phone and choose full version to check member locations on ads, but that's about it. What I have found is that my browser then doesn't always allow me to revert back mobile view, so have to close the app and restart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 (edited) Basschat has not been designed using RWD techniques and as such is not optimised for mobile usage, hence the mobile version being available with a design that does fit.

Cato Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 [quote name='bagsieblue' timestamp='1466372080' post='3075404'] Why is it not practical? [/quote] I got stuck on full version after I had to reset my tablet to default settings. There's too many links too close together for a small screen, I kept accidently clicking user profiles when I was trying to look at threads.

Norris Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Like others have said, switching to full version while on a mobile phone is only done out of necessity. It's not the best "user experience" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowdown Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Full version works well on my iPad Air (Safari). But then again, the screen size is just under 10 inches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 I've never really thought about it too much - I just use the mobile version, and switch to full when I need it for other stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagsieblue Posted June 20, 2016 Author Share Posted June 20, 2016 [quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1466421792' post='3075631'] I've never really thought about it too much - I just use the mobile version, and switch to full when I need it for other stuff. [/quote] Agreed - it was just a question on if people knew it was there as an option, especially on the "where are you based?" questions on for sale ads. 9 times out of 10 this can be seen on full version - so rather than asking the question and then awaiting a response, more often than not the answer can be found straight away by flicking over to full view.

rogerstodge Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 I can't get to the mobile site from my iPod touch I just get this at the bottom of the page, anyone know why I can't?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norris Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 I guessed that was why you were asking But then it doesn't take a second to write it in the first post - and that would save any questions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norris Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 But then a question also bumps your thread I'm not sure it would bother me either way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lojo Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 I use the full version on my iPhone , it's much nicer . Switch to mobile if you have problems with messages though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
