Title: Visiting from Smartphones
Post by: ♥ Dutchess on May 25, 2012, 01:10:34 AM
I was just wondering if at some point there might be a possibility of getting a plug-in for mobile users, like Tap-A-Talk. So that some of us may be able to better access the forums from our smart-phones?

I think global moderator Devlyn Marie accesses Susan's Place from her phone.  I'm not sure what type she has, or apps she uses.

Aye, but it's just a plain old dumbphone, a Samsung u450 with slideout keypad for better typing. No apps. My Susans Place is 1 1/2 inches by 2 inches! Hugs, Devlyn

Awesome. I mean it works pretty well on my phone right now. Thanks for the heads up. I'm patient I swear lol.

And Dev. How do you do it on such a small screen?

Just so happens there is a mod which will do that. :)

I've used Opera (not mini) for years now to view this site, both on Android and winmo (NOT windows phone) and I haven't had a problem. I've used a few "free" versions of Tapatalk (for like XDA-Developers) and I'm not completely impressed with it. The load time seems horrible and honestly why pay for "an app" when the Opera works just fine.
