Is there a way to get a non mobile theme version on my phone / iPad?

Looks great on a PC but it's way to minamalistic otherwise.. On my phone to get back to "forum home" I used to just click forum home, now I have to open the menu and do it that way.

It's also impossible to quickly see which topics are the most recently replied to in each section from the forum home screen.

I'm sorry to hear you're unhappy with the need to click the burger menu. I too moaned a tiny bit about needing to make one extra tap each time.
There isn't a non mobile style, they simply haven't produced that.

Menu, New Posts icon is my stored homepage in Safari. Is that what you mean Colin?



The page icon on the left with the black border shows topics which have new replies inside, the little red icons show posts that you haven't read in that topic.

Here is an example of Recent Topics at the top of the forum, the list may at times be long which will mean scrolling down a fair bit to get to our first forum section General Discussion.

It could be restricted to 5 most recent, but if there are 20 recent topics you will have missed the majority of them!

James, took a screenshot of what I mean...

On the previous version, to the right hand side of clio V6 pictures for example. it would say what the last replied topic and who posted, all on the forum index page, now I have to click into each sub forum and see what's been posted.

I never ever use mobile themes for this reason, they are far too pared back to be user friendly.

Same for me.. but I think we're by far in the minority Colin.
If I come onto a forum, I want to be able to see all of it.

Tapatalk?... Do one.

:salut:


Also... Why is the 'v6Clio.net' header so blurry?

 

[Jamesv6]

I did notice only 2 people had full forum style selected in their profile. Probably why phpbb did away with the option.

 

[Jamesv6]

The blurry logo is just something I was playing about with yesterday. It's too small in that format so will need to be done by someone skilled.

Not even sure if it was needed as it clearly says where you are above it.

Does anyone use the annoying Mark forums read link?

Erghhhh... I accrued loads of PM's when I was admin.

What my events team limit please James?

 

[Jamesv6]

Any PMs held over 6 months old will be wiped automatically when the forum backup is run.
