that worked for me

Had that too, twice (different PCs). Reload fixed it though.

After flushing cache, the differences are minimal! :D

Suggestion: Could you work on making the site mobile-friendly next, AF?

EDIT: a quick google brings up http://phpbb-mobile.com/forums/

if i remember right, AF stated that that was his plan from the beginning.

It's already significantly more mobile friendly than previously, and easier to maintain, the main page relays itself out all the way down to iPhone portrait.

There are some changes that would be needed for the forums, mainly adding the viewport tag.

Otherwise this version of the site is just the old site with partially refreshed markup/css.



Next iteration I'll be removing the roflcopter credit and replacing it to a link into the wiki if nobody objects. He's not the only person who's worked on this site, myself Fnordia jk Tobi etc

New pull request:

https://github.com/spring/spring-website/pull/9

• iPhone/iPad viewport tags added to the forums
• stylesheets can now be referred to via stylesv<insertnumberhere>.css so that browser caches can be sidestepped when changes are made

This should fix the browser cache issues people have had with needing to force refresh cache

Nice, merged & deployed.

Smexy.

Still needs some polish, though.

Posting from my phone.

Indeed the forum is still too wide but not by much, and the columns are too squashed in portrait, but its better than previously.

The wiki also needs the iPhone viewport tags

I liked the forum before for iphone. Now it is terribly zoomed in so I have to zoom out each time.

anyone?

Seriously, I pretty much browse on my phone these days, the new phone theme is a royal pain in the ass to use. The over specialized landscape profile is turrible!

The only, and I mean only change that affects the forums is the iPhone viewport tag ( which only changes the width). The header is the only thing affected by the media queries. So no overspecialising has occurred, if anything all the forum affecting changes can be attributed to this tag:



The mark up and styling of the PHPBB forum itself has not changed, what you are seeing is the existing layout being squashed into the real iPhone screen width.

Now I'm aware that this isn't ideal when looking at the forum index. So you have two choices:

• Wait until I start making changes to streamline the forums (e.g. smaller icons, less padding in some places to save horizontal width etc)
• Fork the springsite repo on github, change 5 or 6 characters so the iPhone viewport tag is say... 600px on the forums, rather than device screen width, then commit and issue a pull request ( all doable from the github web frontend, no push/pull/desktop client required. )

My time at work is booked at the moment and I've had freelance work of an evening for the last few days so I've not had a chance to work further on these things, else I would have made progress.

The width at which the forum no longer shrinks and requires panning or zooming is ~552px on a desktop for most pages. On an iPhone, the forum retains this width and panning to the right is needed, or zooming out ( which gives what we had to begin with but with more legible text than before my changes were made ).

Changes I plan to make to the forum:

• Add classes and IDs to various elements
• Hide the upload attachment part when on an iPhone
• <600px Remove the unread and read icons on the forums and replace them with highlighting ( subject to testing, it may turn out to be better than sliced bread, or it may be so garish I claw my eyes out )
• <600px Reduce widths on author columns
• <600px Linearize the top menus
• Make the preview post table the same width as what gets actually posted ( it doesnt account for the author column )

can you remove the viewport tag for the time being until you fix this?

we should get rid of those missleading Banners



:) random unrelated thread in screen is unrelated

Pull request on github removes the iPhone viewport and adds a pretty error message when the DB connection fails instead of 50 lines of warnings

Merged / deployed, thanks!

line breaking does not seem to always work, eg see this thread
viewtopic.php?f=20&t=27245

Fixed that thread, it happens when people post stuff that cannot be broken over multiple lines (e.g., the list supported Assimp model formats in the infolog).
