Good news for smartphone users

[Second Summer]

My Yule present for you smartphone users is called Responsive Design, which is an add-on I installed today that will allow you to use your browser instead of Tapatalk. Previously using the browser to read and post on VV was a bit of a challenge. There was a special style (a.k.a. skin or theme) you could use, but I'm not sure how well it worked. Now you can just use the regular styles you already use on your computer. They will appear just slightly differently on a smartphone or other device with a not-so-big screen, but it will hopefully be a much nicer experience.

However, you will need a smartphone with a reasonably big screen to get the max benefit. My own HTC Wildfire is on the small side as I still have to scroll sideways a bit to read everything, but Jen just upgraded her phone to a HTC Desire which seems to work really well.

As usual let me know if there are problems.

God Jul!

I just started using it, and it is gorgeous at first look. I have a big screened android (galaxy s3 if you're keeping track of these things.)

Thanks for the upgrade! Tapatalk is handy but limited and can be tedious, even though you on Veggieviews seem to have all the good features of Tapatalk installed.

I just tried this out on my iPhone 4s, and it works fine for me! I clicked on a few topics and didn't have to scroll at all- everything was resized perfectly. It looks really great!

I do usually use Tapatalk on my phone, as I regularly read two other forums that are also Tapatalk enabled, so it's pretty handy. I will try the new browser version on my iPad later, I bet it looks gorgeous.

Thank you, IS!!

I guess I'll have to give it a whirl...I'm such a creature of habit and I am so used to Tapatalk. But it sounds pretty awesome!

It works well on my HTC Droid!

I think I like it...I need more time to adjust but so far so good... I'm so proud!

Nice! I have a smaller screen, but it's just like it automatically zooms in so the forum is useable. I do have tapatalk installed, but this is a nice alternative for those who might not want to buy tapatalk.

Looking good on Samsung Galaxy Note. Thanks IS.

Looks like it works a bit better for me on my small screen when i tip it over on the side so i get more horizontal space.

I have a blackberry curve so very small screen. It looks OK, tapatalk loads quicker though so I'll carry on using that. Although I've just uploading a photo using the new browser and it was a lot quicker and easier than tapatalk so I will use it for that

Just had a quick look. I am impressed!
