Does anyone else think it's strange...

...that there's no mobile version of this website? I'm not one to bitch, and do think its a great forum, but given that they chose to dump Tapatalk, it seems crazy that they don't find some way to make it less clunky to navigate from a smartphone. (Particularly since the whole flippin' site is about a mobile OS!) I almost never log in from my DX because the experience is subpar compared to other sites I frequent.

Just sayin'....

Tapatalk had security issues that compromised aspects of this site. The management of this site made the conscious decision to drop support of Tapatalk for this reason. They have a programmer working on a new app for use in conjunction with site. It'll likely be a while before the new app is released... but it will be released.

Till then there's little any of us can do but to be patient...

I actually do think a lot about this too...

I'm on here all the time with my X and I get around just fine.

It's not that it's unusable, it's just clunky. Always resizing pages, turning from portrait to landscape, losing site of the text I'm typing because the keyboard covers up the reply window, etc., etc. A good mobile site is either optimized for mobile browsers or uses an app like tapatalk to smooth out the experience. All I'm saying is that "it would be nice."
