TERB smartphone app

[Hue]

Curious as to why there isn't s TERB smartphone app or mobile site...I assume a lot of guys are using the terb site while on the go so it beats me why this hasn't happened yet.

Bottom left hand corner where it says vb4 Default style, scroll to mobile style.

Wow ...and now I feel stupid ...I guess better late than never figuring that one out.

Terb used to use an app called Forum Runner which would allow for easier viewing. But after the change from .ca to .cc it stopped working. It cost like $2 but it was a good app.

Forum Runner was great. Tapatalk works for another board.

Holy shit, when did that feature appear? Mind blown. Too bad that the site doesn't automatically change to the mobile style when viewed on a mobile device! Maybe in 2050 we can get this feature?

I have found default mobile style is broken these days. Try editing a post, it will actually DELETE it. At least on Android, for me.

On my phone I make a lot of typos and edit my posts to fix them up. So I just use it in regular mode.

Would be nice if it worked again.

It's easy enough to switch between the normal & mobile modes. Just use the mobile mode for reading and switch to the normal mode when you need to edit something. Or use a different browser if that's an option for you. It's not perfect, but I doubt that any fixes are coming. There's a 2 y/o thread asking for Forum Runner/Tapatalk, so that gives you an idea of the likelihood of any changes.

is an app needed to get TERB on an android and what is the advantage?

I get TERB on mine without an app although I cannot sign in

Not on mine. Maybe its the browser you are using. I have note 4 and using the dolphin browser. My only issue is the spell checker sucks.

BTW....just tested it on this post and edits OK.

Whenever I read a post and then go 'back' with my Android phone, I always go back to the beginning of all topics. Is there a way to get it to go back to the post or topic you selected?

Can't edit using Chrome. Firefox is fine. Still would like to have an app. Makes for much easier navigation (no zooming needed).

Try it with the default Android browser. What happens is it comes up with "delete post" selected and clicking anywhere in the text box submits the page, deleting the post you were editing.

Yeah, there you go. Its a browser thing. I stay far away from the default Android browser as its very slow and outdated. Give Dolphin browser a try. It loads very quick and you have the option to quickly switch from desktop to mobile and be private mode where nothing is saved. There are also a ton of other adjustments with it I like such as disable auto zooming. I also like that it renders pages and fonts nicely compared to the other browsers.

Yeah, I would stay away from the stock app. I tried terb and other similar sites with Mozilla and Chrome and IMO Dolphin works best.

The Dolphin browser is amazing, I agree.
