Title: next page button
Post by: BlackWidowMan777 on Mon, 02 December 2013, 02:42:58
It would make it much easier especially when browsing from an iPad to have 'next page' and 'previous page' instead of having to aim precisely at the actual page number you want to navigate to.

This would be great thanks!  :D

Or something a bit bigger - easier to hit on a small screen.

Or ... use Tapatalk?

Thanks bueller and rowdy for alerting me to tapatalk. I hadn't heard of it and it makes reading geekhack on the couch much, much easier. Not sure if you can post on the forums yet but I'll check into it later today.

I do 95% of my geekhacking on Tapatalk. I just posted this from it right now!

basically make it like the ones at DT but at both the top and bottom of the entire page and it would be perfect

Yes, you can.

From what I've heard, attachments functionality is a bit limited but.

If you want to post a lot of pictures over time you gotta spend $0.99 and upgrade. The free version will only host a certain amount of pictures. At least that's what I had to do when I started with it about a year and 4 months ago. Things may have changed I do t know.

This is why I started this thread: http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=51654.msg1137891#msg1137891

I am still willing to do it, but I have been using tapatalk recently.  Tapatalk is good, but you do not get full coverage of features...

What my mobile theme would do would basically:
- enlarge the page numbers so they are clickable on a phone.
- enlarge the go up/go down buttons.
- make the top 3 links (spy, unread, new replies) slightly easier to click.
- very small enlargement of the main menu (it has not been as big of an issue for me.  Maybe just increase its vertical height.
- larger font size for topic titles (and page numbers) in lists...

I think those changes on mobile devices would make a huge difference.
