What app are the mobile guys using here? I use Forum Runner and Tapatalk and used to use them for this site but they stopped working for this site after the last update. Is there something I need to do on my end or is there a different app I need?
 
I thought you weren't supposed to need an app at all with the new software.
 
No app that I am aware of. I have a galaxy note 3 so using my browser works well but on my old smartphone it ducked bad using the browser and I relied on the apps you mentioned.

Im using a Galaxy SII. I can view the forum with the browser, its just a royal pain when compared to an app. Imagine everything on your computer screen except its the size of your cell phone. You have to constantly expand and contract the screen and scroll around where the apps are designed for phone size devices. No biggie. If that's the only way, Ill get used to it. I just thought maybe I was missing something.

Man that would make me avoid the forum. I despise surfing on a phone anyway, if I had to do that I wouldn't do it at all I'd just go fishing. We need to find out why that is. I'll ask Matt to take a look.

That's a large part of why I have been absent here for awhile. My apps stopped working!

The reason is, at least for me and my phone, the browser works just like a computer. That makes all the buttons really tiny on a phone screen and my phone is a touch screen as most are these days so I enlarge everything to click something then decrease it all to read it, then enlarge it all to click something else and so on.
 
I use my iPhone and it is in a mobile version. At the bottom of the page is a woodbarter button. It gives you the option of different views but I don't see this page in a full website version. Very simple using my iPhone. Only way I use this site and on here once or twice a day. Lol
 
I've asked Matt to take a look. He has been super busy with work and family but when he has time he'll probably be able to give us an answer or solution hopefully.
 
Tony brings up a good point did you try using the default style? If you click the drop-down in the lower left of the home page you'll get this pop-up. Once you select the Default style and see if that works.

This is what my iPhone looks like
 
I don't know how y'all manage it on your phones to me that sux.

Tony plug your phone in . . . .

Every now and then I get on my company laptop. I like the phone ten times better. All you do is click on new post and they are all in order.

Yes that's what I want it to look like! Ill try and see if I can get mine to do that.

Im with Kevin, I definitely prefer the computer over the phone, even with an app. If I can make it look more like the app though Ill be good to go! Checking now.

Okay it works!! So much better. I dunno of its my connection tonight or what but its really slow on my phone. Stoked Ill be able to surf WB again when away from home!! Thanks so much guys.

Sorry Kevin, I figured it was something on my end as I looked through the first several pages here and didnt see anyone else complaining.
 
I just tried the default style on my iPhone. The functionality is better because it doesn't lock the title bar. Oddly though it changed my computer style as well.
