A real mobile version
I enjoy this site and the forums, but they are difficult to use on my iPhone. I have been struggling along with it for a while and even tested the mobile version of the site.
Then I checked out atariage for the first time in years. Wow. Now that is what I call a "mobile version". I don't know what software they use for their forums, but it is amazing. It's like an HTML app! If I showed someone that without letting them check what app was running, they would think it was an iphone native app and not just html.
Maybe someday?

Maybe if you want to pay for someone to do the coding at say at minimum 30 dollars an hour. That's probably a good idea! Why don't you be happy for what NA provides and quit your bitching, if you haven't noticed this is FREE. If your using your phone to connect to NA man, you have too much time on your hands for realz. Why not try the following remedies:
A. Enjoy life cause its short
B. Date a chick besides your Iphone
C. See A & B
I see that the AA forums are down. I'll give an example when they come back. I haven't seen anything like it for any forums with my short experience using an iPhone. I hope in a few years this will be commonplace. The era of touch computing will make most sites, with their tiny buttons and other small elements, feel too klunky to use without a redesign.

What is this bull shit? The guy is just offering a suggestion which is what this section is for.
I have to agree with him as I travel a LOT for work, but still enjoy catching up on NES action. The site doesn't display well on my blackberry. The main concern i have is the logo on the left side takes up all the realestate. Maybe if there was a way to access without Link showing up?
Love the site and love the suggestions. After all they are only suggestions.......chill out man

Is there something you think is missing from mobile.nintendoage.com? Or too much info so its still crowded?
We can easily makes changes to the current mobile version, just offer up any ideas you have. I do understand what you're suggesting about having a dedicated mobile site (one that is properly tooled for smaller devices), but I can't really justify the time spent on it when there are other fish to fry, at least not at this moment.
Now, if anyone who is a CSS expert that wants to help out (you don't need to know ColdFusion), I'd LOVE to have some help with this. Any takers?

Clickable links are too close together for touch screens. For example, trying to click the "next page" icon requires an extreme zoom in, then careful finger touch.

Any news on this one? It's pretty common these days (digitpress, AtariAge, Neo-Geo Forums etc.). It seems that NA is one of the few gaming related sites that doesn't offer this option (is it even possible to implement this?).

Tapatalk doesn't support this forum.
I started building one, however, a few weeks ago. I'll try and finish it up soon.

That's excellent news! I (and I'm sure many others) appreciate the effort.

I am currently using the Nintendo 3DS web browser right now, which also utilizes a touch screen, and I have absolutely no problems whatsoever clicking the small links and navigation buttons with the stylus.
EDIT: However, posting messages on 3DS is a pain. If I hit "preview", I get stuck with a black page with no text and no links. Then I have no choice but to hit "back" and I lose my entire progress. Also, I hit "send" and also get served another blank page with no links back to view my post or the thread, but the message post was still successful???
As evidenced by your triple post? HAHAHAHA
Yea LOL no problems at all.
If that image doesn't work for you, it's the <> button, which lets you change the HTML source.
I'm unable to reply to private messages using my iPhone (Safari). This has been happening for several months now. I can provide device specs if needed, but until (or if) it's resolved I'll stick to using the site via PC.
I had that problem with my Android. To fix it, I had to just switch browsers to Firefox. Works like a charm now.
I wish I knew more about coding, Dain, and I would give as much time as I could to help out NA. I have run across this site a couple of times that other forums use. It's called Tapatalk and it's a plugin that is installed on the server side. I don't know if it's compatible with the software you use for the forum, but I wanted to at least get the information out. The only reason I even know about it is that I've come across some forums that use it. When I get to the forum on mobile safari, it tells me that the site uses it and I can download the app on my iphone. The link is below if you wanted to look into it (and it looks like it's free, unless there's a catch I'm missing).

I know this thread is old, but will there ever be Tapatalk support for NintendoAge?
