    Works fine for me, using Dolphin HD browser on my Android phone.

  • I use Safari on my iPhone 3GS and I find it really difficult to use the site - buttons are too fiddly, drop-down menus don't always work, searching is impossible - when I click on the search button, every time I enter a character the page seems to reload and jump to the top of the screen.

    I just don't use the site when I'm out and about.

    I've put my requests on the 'suggestions' thread at the top of the page.

    Mostly I find it fine to use on my android smart phone. Yes I have to scroll a bit to read things but I don't see it as being any different to most other websites I view by phone.

    One thing I do find though is that I cannot find anyway to use the forum search via phone, simply won't allow my to type in the search box or click into advanced search. Not sure if this is just my phone (or just me).

    I should probably mention what browser I use from my phone - but I don't have a clue and don't know how to find out!

    The site is almost unusable from my phone. The biggest problem being it's so hard to read. I have to zoom right in and scroll. .

    As above.

    iphone with safari for me, and very painful to use the site.

    May I ask which buttons are replaced with question marks? Thanks.

    Hi,

    I'm an iPhone user and this forum does pose some problems for me.

    There is a known issue between iOS 5 and Vbulletin which means Safari crashes if I write a long post and my typing is lost - VERY frustrating! Can you not just enable tapatalk or something to make it usable again?

    Also, every search has to be an advanced search as when I type in the normal forum search boxes they close and the iPhone zooms over to the top left and I get a big picture of martin's forehead - Nice!

    Thanks,

    Kevin

    Hi

    I have quite often clicked on Spam or Report by accident when browsing on my phone or IPAD I think these buttons should be shown from the left of the screen or even centered.
