Iphone browser accessing the forum...

[jgab 1,975]

Am I the only one having problem reading the forum on my iPhone?

There is no way to login or access some of the menus at the top.

I had this problem on my previous phone (somehow I got logged in, don't remember how)

but now just upgraded and I can't seem to figure out how to login...

 

Maybe my brain is just cooked due to the heat and I'm the only one that have the problem?

 

This is how it looks. The looking class and "page" icon gets me nowhere. iOS 15.5, iPhone 12.

I don't have the same problem on the French Domotique forum that seems to have a similar platform.

Is there some settings in the forum that is wrong so the phone gets the wrong type of page rendering? (mobile vs desktop setting?)

Can't find any relevant settings as I can't access any settings...

Would be nice if the red square asking you to please log in was linked to the login page...

Ok thanks, should have thought about that. (you are better at hacking into system then I am...  )

but the page still renders the same on your phone, i.e. no menus at top?

To login and navigate.... Select "Desktop mode " in the browser of your choice, or whatever it is called, I use "brave" on Android. Unders Settings there is an option "Desktop site". Checkmark, then it renders as expected and of course is hard to navigate, but at least it works.

Well, on iPhone safari, selecting "Request Desktop Website" doesn't make any noticable difference. It could be that it always serve me the desktop version and the big banner at top hides the buttons.

I'm a bit jealous of the Domotique Fibaro guys - they also run the Invision Community platform, but that site is actually quite usable from the iPhone.

@lazer you know if you have done something special to make it look good at mobiles?

Doh. Don't have an iPhone, but can say that it completely changes the layout on Android. After selecting desktop mode, zooming + scrolling makes everything accessible.

That is indeed the issue on Android as well imho and Desktop mode does not reduce the banner, but moves the menu to the right.

 

It is definitely a job for a web developer

It's 2022, these things should just work...

Hey, that is my quote, I say it 3 times per week, at least!

 

This it what it looks like on my phone after selecting the "Desktop" option... Still some things going on but the menus work.

Sorry I don't know, I didn't install and configure the French forum.

I only have moderator role, the administrator is Yohan, unfortunately he doesn't participate to the forum anymore.
