I've always turned my phone to landscape for browsing, so no layout issues, just scale.

I got the app to download, but it apparently doesn't recognize kevinswatch.com.

8-1/2 years here, and I would have sworn the URL was "ihungry".

"ihugny". Got it now.

Heh, you're not currently hungry by any chance are you, Cail? Big Grin

But hm, that's interesting. So, on an iPhone you all weren't able to view the forums normally, without the software mentioned earlier? Since I managed to access the forum just fine yesterday, on my Android. Or was that just part of a forum upgrade that you've done, where the iPhone now needs the app in order to get the full functionality of the forums?

Also, your avatar seems to be a bit un-Vain-like, Vain! Or don't tell me; that's how they planned on having it (him?) in the now-cancelled movie! (Alternatively, you chose that avatar because you actually liked it, not due to any kind of resemblance with Vain from TCoTC, heh)

It's not that you couldn't get to the Watch on a browser before -- it's that the app makes it a little more iPhone-friendly. Smile

An app or decent reflow-capable browser for Windows Phone wouldn't come amiss either...

Have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don't search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer.

Any progress on this? Using Chrome on an iPad, and browsing is great, but so far posting causes fatal errors.

Could well be the dreaded 406 error...some update on the hosts side has made it so that you can't post "non-standard" characters, which may or may not include Apple's "" marks...

Yeah I found and still find that. I use iPhone mostly or my Mac laptop..

I have https://pteo.paranoiaworks.mobi/diacriticsremover/

open in a page permanently now. I also found if I am in a hurry not using punctuation at all helps .. if I cant be bothered or dont have time to cut and paste.

So thats my work around fwiw 😉

I think the main problem with getting a new platform would be migrating the current boards to the updated site. I know I wouldn't want to get bogged down in migrating The Galley, but I wouldn't want to lose all of those pages, either. I couldn't imagine tackling the chrons discussions, let alone Gen Dis.

I absolutely do not want anyone to boil the ocean....was just hoping for an app or quick local setting change that might make it possible to use the iPad instead of the clunky desktop PC...

That diacritics remover should still do the job for you. Just a pain.

I'll have to give it a shot from Chrome on the iPad and see if that has the intended effect.
