Accessing the site on your mobile phone

[Jeff]

If you want to access the site on your mobile, I recommend you bookmark http://mobile.talkingballs.co.uk/ on your phone.

This will give you one click access to two mobile styles, and the standard version of the site.
The default mobile style linked from that page is the one that came with the forum software, and I have had problems using it.
The alternative mobile style was created by a third party and in my opinion it is better.




If you have a smartphone there are apps available that some people prefer to use.

Tapatalk and Forum runner are available for iPhone, Android and some other smartphones.

Forum Runner is $1.99, and there is a free version that allows you to read the forum but not post. Tapatalk costs $2.99.

You can find out more about these apps here: http://www.tapatalk.com/ and here: http://www.forumrunner.net/



If you have any problems using the site on your phone please post the details in this thread.

Just got a Samsung Galaxy S II and wonder if anyone else has one that can recommend which app to go for to access the site. Currently I just log in as a guest via google etc

Why (and how)do you use Google, and why do you only come on as a guest?

That phone should let you use the site the same way as you use it on a computer. The standard Android browser is pretty good and Opera and Firefox are also available.

Google comes up when I click on Internet and talkingballs is already there having been previously searched so I just click on it and the forum comes up. I have not put my username/password in yet as I have not used the phone much on the internet since last week when I got it. But this will change soon so I will be logging in more and just wondered if it would be better to get an app.

Re: Forum Upgrade Discussion

JeffWhen posting from my phone using the mobile version (the non standard one), all the text is put into one big paragraph. I haven't noticed this before but don't really post from my phone much.

Are you using line breaks?

How could I tell if I was?

Because then it wouldn't be one big paragraph :icon_wink

Tapatalk is now free if you get it from Getjar.com (normally £1.99).

Tapatalk is good and very easy to use, although if you have ignored threads it shows them on there.

I used Tapatalk briefly but find the TB mobile format better

What program are you using?

Can you see general chat, and if so, what message do you get when you try to access it?

 

[lazzer]

Sorted.

 

[Jeff]

Sorted.

How?

Thanks for the info, some decent apps on there for free that you'd have to pay for on the android market.

I removed them for mobile phones, I didn't think people would use them on mobiles as you have to scroll down past everything else to see them. I'm planning to add separate pages for the latest news, plus fixtures stats etc. It's quite complicated to set up though, and I'm still learning how to do it.

Oh, ok thanks. No problem at all...thought it was me!!!

Jeff there is a server error. I can't post a thread or reply in the techie thread.

It is when I open up a started conversation it says server error.
