Re: New Website and Forum
Maybe it's just me, but I can't find an option to shut off the mobile version anymore? It used to be at the bottom of the page. I'm just asking because with the IPad I can only get the mobile version now and while it is probably great on a phone, it's not so great on the iPads larger screen.
Racing... because golf only requires one ball.

Re: New Website and Forum
That's only on the website, not the forum. For the forum, you should be able to go into your control panel and select the "FAST" theme instead of the "FAST Mobile" theme. I've been doing the opposite for testing on my notebook, anyway.BigBlue wrote:Maybe it's just me, but I can't find an option to shut off the mobile version anymore?

I'll see if I can exclude iPad from being considered a "mobile" device.
BTW, I made major strides in improving the mobile forum format today. It should now display at full screen width instead of half width. Working on the post editor screen now.

Okay, dropping iPhone from the list of major "mobile" devices was easy. Let me know if that worked.

Forum now displays wider than full screen on safari for iphone ( can pinch it down to full sceen after its loaded though) but looks right in opera for iphone. Before it appeared sort of half the screen and could not be pulled to full width. Dont know how to screen grab in iphone or i would take a pic.

Thanks for the update, John. A screen shot would help. I have some ideas about what might be happening, but I'm not 100% sure what you're seeing.garage west wrote:Forum now displays wider than full screen on safari for iphone ( can pinch it down to full sceen after its loaded though) but looks right in opera for iphone.

Re: New Website and Forum
Finally got fed up with the video gallery not showing videos in the order that I wanted and took the time to fix it. It's not the ideal fix, but it works.
The gallery was initially set up to be "automatic" on my end, requiring nothing more than for y'all to tag your videos with "drivefastvids" and the website did the rest. Now, to get control of the display order, I've had to put all of those videos into a playlist. Unfortunately, videos have to be manually added to the playlist. I'll try to remember to do this a couple days after each event, but if anyone notices their videos not showing up in the gallery (and new videos should now appear at the top of the gallery), let me know.

For a screenshot on an iPhone, press the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons together. The screen will flash and the camera sound will play. The pic will be in your camera film roll.
