better mobile site access. Touchscreens. Started by: Lylithe on Feb 26, '12 16:30

ok, this isn't knocking what I can't do, but more along the line of improving the site for the future... I'm on a tablet and playing this game isn't any fun on here, the menus across the top don't work because their drop down, I can't edit my profile or check the crew listings, doing crimes threw the "mobile" mafia are a pain because I have to go back to the main page over and over again to a plain, white page with maybe a dozen links, out of what, 50, maybe 60 Options the menu denies?

 

 Simple fix, set it up so when you hit the link link on a menu it brings up a list of all the links, or a glossary, so touchscreen users have the option to actually play... Thanks for reading, Lylithe.

 

ps, with the tablets you gave out for vday, you just added another half dozen touchscreen users to the site.. So I know I'm not the only one out there growling about this.

Not sure if this will be any help to you or not.. but we have a Samasung Galaxy SII and the Samsung Galaxy Tab.. one being a phone, the other a tablet.

With the menus across the top... if you hold down on the selection until it pops up asking if you want to open in another window etc, you can hit backspace that menu will disappear and the options in the drop down will be there.

Or for links you access frequently, just have somebody post you the link.. and bookmark it.

I'm not sure what the issues with pages not showing up or not being able to post or edit your profile.. I've never had any of those issues using my phone or tablet, only issue is it being a PITA typing :p

May or may not work for you.. but if it does, it will require some effort on your part.. but it'll be better than nothing for now.

Get the Dolphin browser and change it to desktop viewing. Then press on the link for like 5 seconds or so and release and the links will be viewable. If you see the option to go to another tab you held on too long. After a bit of experimentation you will get used to holding it down long enough but not too long and it makes using a touchscreen so much easier to play MR.

lol, neither work, I'm on a webOS, soon as I hit the link, it starts sending me, and I've seen no good browsers for my touchpad. And, though I  could have all the links book marked, I'd rather not have a thousand bookmarks.

 

I know there are ways around the drop down menus, but wouldn't you just rather hit one button and have the whole menu displayed? It should be an easy fix, the links are there already.

I have to say I use an iphone 4 and it works fine, the drop downs work the timers work. Everything does that I've tried. Racing for an IA is a no no when on 3g, but when hooked up through wifi it's as fast as the pc.

Oh and that's just using the standard Safari browser that come with it.

cab, no, that link hasn't worked for a long time, I used to use that exclusively, comes up 404 now though.

 

Dante, I'm on a webOS, that an HP touchpad I seem to be seeing allot of others posting that there fine, so maybe it's just the palm tech that has trouble. :s
