Issues with forums and phones

[Severely_Artistic 742 / 9,471]

So, as a large amount of you know, whenever you use a phone with these forums, you are limited with what you can do. 

 

For example, an admin, I like to use colors when I judge applications. I can't get an easy access to tools like color, text size, and other tools as I'd normally get on a computer. Of course, there's bb code, but that's a ridiculous pain considering I'm using a smart phone keyboard.

 

There's another issue, too. I can't go onto someone's forum profile to find their steam profile. 

 

There's likely others too that I have not found or said, but all in all, I want to see more functionality on smart phones for the forum usage.

 

Thanks.

 

Oh and I can't put up a poll so another issue just found haha.

@Severely_Artistic Yes you can. Before you post a topic, on top it says "Content", click that and switch to "Poll". When done, click "Poll" and switch back to content and it should be fine.

You can always request the desktop website. (Which I do most of the time)

I randomly just figured out how to make a poll, actually. You have to click the Content button above the thread title field, and then you have the option to make a poll. I have not tried it, but I wanted to let you know that it is there.

 

Have a blessed one!

There is no "easy" way to get the colors that's practical, as most methods are a big waste of time.

@Rose I'm just going to say this to ya, I'm pretty sure or at least I know I don't... have desktop view on mobile forums. 

 

@Severely_Artistic If you don't mind wasting your time and doing it the harder way, then you could just go to other sites with color generator and copy & paste into the message box.

Hello world!

You can also select the font type.

Hello world!

I know about the colorizer I use those all the time. But, I'd prefer it if it was easier to just select a color on the forum from a phone.

 

Thanks for the site, though, @Bae

But just to confirm, @Severely_Artistic do you have a desktop view on mobile? I feel like I'm the only one that doesn't.

It does nothing for me. The forums doesn't fix itself due to the screen size, I'd assume.

So, I tried using BB Code with forums on my phone, and they gave me a pretty hard time.

 

Title of list

 

• List item 1
• List item 2
• List item 3
   
• List item 4
   
• List item 5

 

 

 

Bold seems to mess up on it as well. Which means...

 

Title of list

 

• List item 1
• List item 2
• List item 3
   
• List item 4
   
• List item 5

 

 

 

(Idk why my list tag is tabbed but whatever.) Point is, it should not be this much of a pain in the ass to get shit the way I want formatted on here. I'd like for there to be an easier way to do this. (I had to move this up here cuz the code tags didn't allow me to write anything else)

 

It turned into a pain in my ass to get a list up and running, with color, and bolded. Final code:

 

[b][color=#FF0000]Title of list[/b]
	[list]

[*][b]List item 1[/b] [*][b]List item 2 [/b][*][b]List item 3[/b]

[*][b]List item 4[/b]

[*][b]List item 5[/b]
[/list]
	[/color]

It could also be a hard time for people who just don't know anything about JavaScript, html, etc.
