Default CP Mobile Version

Is CP planning on setting up a mobile version of the site? HF has a mobile version, and it makes browsing much easier.

It could be me being fat fingers, but I find myself constantly zooming in and out to press most buttons on the “mobile” desktop version.

I’m not website designer, but I’m sure that you’d encourage a lot more traffic to your site as well.

Yes there’s Tapatalk, but it’s been having some weird bugs lately. Like loading the wrong thread for me.

Compatible with tapatalk I believe.

I personally can't stand mobile versions, always opt for the desktop version on my phone.

Totally agree. I can understand the need for mobile versions years back but not sure why it's still a thing? With the processing power on modern phones and most people having a data plan that can handle it, what's the appeal with a mobile version?

Honest question, wondering if I'm missing something.

I find the text a little too small, and advancing to the next page means zooming in so you don't accidentally hit the wrong button. The benefit is that at least you can "unthank" posts you accidentally thanked. Also if somebody posts a giant image, it gets sanitized in a mobile version to fit the screen. But basically, I just don't like the text size and tiny buttons when navigating it on the phone with the desktop view.

Tapatalk has been sucking lately.

GT threads don't load properly.

The absolute worst is sites that have a mobile version with no button to go to the normal version. Then you have no choice but to deal with some crappy looking poorly formatted nonsense that usually only has 20% of the content.
