Our forum is pretty clearly-labeled on my iPhone. I don't now what you're using, but clearly something is wrong with what you are seeing, since the labeling and the thread descriptions, such as The UFO Forum, are clearly expressed.

What don't you understand about the words "The Paracast"? How does that imply rugby?

Peace,
Gene

You're missing the point Gene. Dartho is being generous in not saying something along the line of "If you can do better, do it."

Nothing worse than someone be so critical of something someone is providing for free.

So even though it's highly flawed I should say it's not flawed. I am not a programmer. I come to this place to get add-ons for our forums so I don't have to learn PHP and MySQL, or pay someone the big bucks to do it for me. And most work just fine, thank you.

This one doesn't work so fine, and the accompanying style is clunky and poorly executed. I explained why I didn't like them in the hope that maybe the author would consider the suggestions and find a way to improve the product — and maybe generate some PayPal donations as the result.

Instead, I get silly challenges that I should do it myself and claims that a forum that is clearly about paranormal subjects, since that's what all the descriptive text says, is somehow about rugby.

Maybe I'm just in an alternate universe when I visit this thread. :)

Peace,
Gene

Gene, my addons are not the least bit flawed - they do exactly what they were designed to do, help make my site work the way I want it to.

I didn't suggest that your forum was about rugby - I suggested that it was highly flawed because it was not. When I viewed your forum, I wanted it to be about rugby and instead it was about some radio show I've never even heard of. I did not mean to challenge you, I was merely suggesting a way to improve your site, and maybe generate paypal donations.

This however was not released for paypal donations, it was release for the pleasure of reading posts such as yours.

Peace

OK, so this particular plugin does what you want, but it can't automatically recognize the user agent and deliver the style that is suitable for the user.

If you want to help us improve the site, help us get a mobile theme that looks good and a mod that will deliver the style best suited to a particular device's browser.

I don't think I'm asking for too much here.

Peace,
Gene

It's not really my concern and I'm just responding because you are asking too much. Dartho was generous enough provide this for free, if you don't like it so don't use it.

I'm sure you can find many people will to make exactly what you want and would be happy for the paid work. Hire someone and you can complain, someone doing something for free should be thanked not criticized.

Can you understand that?

Gene Steinberg 03-01-2010 09:54 PM

What I understand is that all software is a work in progress. There are always things that can be done better or differently. But when someone makes honest criticism and receives nothing but sarcastic responses about rugby, or is told to buzz off, that doesn't make me feel warm and friendly to the coder.

Or maybe that coder feels that perfection has been achieved and that there's nothing left to do.

Peace,
Gene

Thank you very much for sharing you mod... i love it, but I do however have one problem still:

I have the 4.0.1 VB 4 and i came back to get the update and I'm still having trouble getting it to display "post Via Mobile Device". Any suggestions to what i'm doing wrong?

i uninstalled the last release, and then i installed the latest one with the fix.

dartho 03-03-2010 06:04 AM

What is your site, and also could you point me to a post or two which were posted when using the mobile style...

Thanks
