I have no issues with the site or layout, its intuitive and the use of the sub forums keeps the info much easier to find and work through, maybe one way thing you could add is a FAQ section and tag threads in there that people can get most use out of,
have not really used the mobile site, just my opinion but they tend to lose clarity and function so i use the full site on all my devices,
There is a FAQ on here and I have been meaning to update it. But, updating it is not quite that easy. Unlike doing everything here on the forum, I have to update that by accessing that page on the server, editing it, and reuploading it. Horrible design by vBulletin IMO. But I do plan on updating it.
And in your opinion, do you think it would be best to do a FAQ, or just put the stickies in the forum sections? What I"m worried about is almost no one reads the forum rules, so why woudl they read the FAQ? And you can read it
HERE. As you can see, the info in there is not that great.
I just use the full version on my I pad. Much easer to look around. On my I phone I use forumrunner. It's a little more difficult to use but manageable. What I don't like about it is the posts do not disappear after you read them. Making that a little repetitious.
They will go away if you click the new posts button again. Or, you may need to go into your settings and change some things.
I'd probably suggest that you email the people that contacted you back and ask exactly what it was they were having issues with...
Ask them what device, PC, tablet, smartphone etc ... they are using. Then what browser they are using. Whether they are viewing in the full or mobile. Then finish up with asking what specifically it is that they find hard to navigate and what other suggestions they may have.
If they have valid complaints... you'd find the answers you are looking for and if not... then you could ignore them as just being lazy etc.
Just looked, and I would if I could find the email lmao. But, I wanted everyone elses opinion on this to see who felt the same about it. and so far, no one feels that way. And I'm seeing mostly IE 9 and 10, then FF, then chrome, then Safari browsers being used on here. So as for the layout, I'm not going ot worry about it much, thankfully. It would take me a week to come up with and upload a whole new layout. Then there is the whole movign posts thing and all fo that nightmare lmao.
I've never had any problems using the site with my laptop, iPhone or iPad. I think it's a great site and you do a great job maintaining it.
Thanks MB, I'm trying to keep it going with fresh content, it's just hard with a full time job and full time family. But I'm trying.
