Default New Mobile Rant Skin              Go to Top

Can someone post a picture or take a screenshot from their mobile devices and/or iPhones and post them here?

I would really like to know how do they look on them. We have put a lot of work on this and I appreciate if someone delivers those pics.

Thanks,
Val.

These pictures were from the camera on my computer, so they are aweful, but this is how it looks on the phone:

Thanks so much man.
Can you please take pictures of Suffolk Rant in your device? We want to see how that iPhone skin looks and whether it has some issues.

Thanks,
Val.

P.S. Why are your pictures reverted? Does that have to do with your camera or maybe you read backwards ?

Didn't have the camera with me, so I used my computer's camera, which takes pictures of everything backwards.
In my opinion, I like the Suffolk mobile browser better because of my type of phone, but the icons would not appear on it.

I use a Sony W580i from AT&T, I can read posts on the mobile rant, but I am not able to reply. The phone's browser doesn't select the "reply" button.

i viewed the suffolk site earlier today. the thread view is ok...if avatars could be automatically disabled on the iphone skin it would be better. makes the text table too thin so its 2 or 3 words per line. if i flip the iphone sideways then it gets better but avatars still take up half the screen.

On the new Rant mobile skin now, and it works so much better, for those of us with touchscreens. Also, as Johnfromnowhere said before, if it is possible, and not too much trouble, is there any way to disable the Avatars from showing up on the mobile skin? Anyway, once again, thank you a ton Val!

Been there, done that.

Yep got the same problem. Just direct the browser to www.nassaufdrant.com/forum, instead of the normal homepage.

You may also click on the Rant banner on top of the page.

Also while reading a thread, click the Back button just above the Rant banner.

hey val just a quick comment here. On the new iPhone skin there is the header for the regular site at the top of the page. It is much bigger in size than the iPhone will allow so of stretches out all the text so that we have to scroll sideways to read even when viewing with the phone sideways and not upright. Is there a way to remove that banner forthe iPhone skin? Oh I also cannot zoom out at all. I am guessing that it has something to do with iPhone skins having a predesigned page width. I can snap a few photos later if you want to show you.

Thanks.

Hi John thanks for your feedback.

About the banner, I can certainly resize it and make a smaller one for the iPhone skin.

As for the width, this skin uses fluid variables, so it should stretch all across the screen, regardless of screen resolution or device used in browsing.

If you could tell me your iPhone resolution I may be able to find a workaround for this issue.

Have a good time.
Val.
