New MOBILE forum styles now active

[David Baxter PhD]

New Mobile versions now active. Just like the full forum styles, there are 10 color schemes to choose from.

Selecting one other than the default is a bit more fiddly on small screens, however.

Instructions with screen shots to follow...

Open the site Psychlinks Self-Help & Mental Health Support Forum in your mobile device.



Now scroll down to the bottom of the main page.



Click on Full Style to access the style selector - it will be small print.



Scroll down to the bottom again.



You can see the very tiny style selector there. Use your thumb and finger in a reverse pinch to enlarge that area or zoom in:



Then tap on the Style selector to get the drop down menu and choose the mobile style you want:



And now you have your selected mobile style:

Is there a way to view the list of recent posts using mobile view?
I cant remember if I've asked this before or not, but I've certainly thought about it multiple times... Short of doing a manual search and changing the date to something that would be "recent" I've never found a way, so always have to change to full site to be quicker.

 

[David Baxter PhD]

There is, although it's not as straightforward as with the full style.

From the home page, click on the Menu icon:



Then click on What's New:



That will show you any New Unread Posts if there are any. Otherwise, you'll see this so click on the search here link:



Now scroll down to Additional Options and click on Any Date:



Select a date range to show posts that old or newer:



And finally click on Search Now:

Cool, thanks for all those screenshots.
I'll give it a try, but predict that I'll likely stick with the full site as it's fewer touches/"clicks".

It's actually not as complicated as it sounds...

I see your point - 4 clicks and a short scroll vs. 2 mega scrolls and 2 clicks.
