Mobile forum view?

Postby mk4 » Fri, 23 Sep 2011 11:53:07

Any way to use the standard forum view from a mobile device? iPad, specifically?

Thx!

can you tell me your IP address or your User-Agent?

It might be hard for me to do since the iPad uses iPhone software, so if I change it in that manner, anyone with an iPhone will get the regular instead of mobile display.

Mozilla/5.0(iPad; U; CPU iPhone OS 3_2 like Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/531.21.10 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0.4 Mobile/7B314 Safari/531.21.10

The mobile skin keys on the iPhone and Mobile text strings in the user-agent string above.

Is there someplace in your iPad browser config that you can manually set the User Agent to Mozilla or something? I did that in my Droid-X.

I can see about making the skin user-selectable, but that won't happen right away.

Thanks, Rick.
Lemme poke around a bit and see what info I can find on this thing. I actually thought it was a Safari thing and so, installed an alternate browser from the iPhone/iTunes store, but same result.

you can grab a copy of iCabMobile http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/icab-mobile-web-browser/id308111628?mt=8. It's a 3rd party browser that allows you to change your user agent to many different variations. it is well worth $1.99

I use TapaTalk on my android tablet (Nook Color, CM7) for VGOF; works fine.
