Marshalus Veteran Posted October 2, 2008 Veteran Share Posted October 2, 2008 Awesome! Now, we just need that Neowin.net iPhone app. ;) One thing at a time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Elі Subscriber² Posted October 2, 2008 Subscriber² Share Posted October 2, 2008 I would like to make a suggestion: on the forum on the top left where it says Neowin.NET it would be nice if that link pointed back to the mobile homepage instead of the forum index page, there's another link that points to the index already.

mikesingh Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Looks great here on both Opera 9.5 Mobile and IE Mobile on my Sprint Diamond. Keep up the great work!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
instant.human Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 note: on the iphone, in portrait-view, you can still scroll to the right although there is no content. you know what i mean? it then looks like this: could be just me though. if not, this is wasted space, would be nicer if the theme would really "fit" the 320 pixels there. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timan Veteran Posted October 2, 2008 Veteran Share Posted October 2, 2008 Yes, the iPhone is actually scaling the site 1.4x, thats what causes images to be a tad pixelated and the horizontal scrollbar. This was done as a temp fix, without it the page would be unreadable since windows mobile uses a very small font size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
instant.human Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 alright, i see. thanks for the info. i will use that and wait for the iphone-specific version. =) however, as i said before, awesome work! posting from my phone right now. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomwarren Veteran Posted October 2, 2008 Veteran Share Posted October 2, 2008 *tries this out*Excellent work fellas! Guys can you make a little favicon for the iphone? if we want to add the site to our home screen we don't get a pretty neowin icon. also you guys might want to fix the buttons: Tim has added the favicon :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PyX Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Hey not bad here! I wonder if the InvisionBoard team will build this feature into their next version, because with all the mobile browsing increasing, it became a need, and I don't see every single developer to this! All I would do to fix it a little : - Add some padding on the right Edit : Wait... this is not the problem. The page is in fact too large for the iPhone, maybe I just chose a wrong page with a character string like loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool, which made the page look larger, I'm not sure. - Make the text field bigger : I would set its width to 100%, the left and right padding will do the rest of the job to make it look nice. - Maybe add a Remember Me button when we log in, I'm not sure if it does it by default really... if it does, we don't need it. All I want is not to enter my password 50 times a year just to see Neowin's forums - Change the colour of the text on the buttons maybe? - Apply the same method to every single page of Neowin :p It's really great... I'm thinking about what they did with Facebook and a few other sites, it's awesome, I'm sure you guys can do something nice too ! On another note... I prefer by far the preview of the iPhone and its interface, compared to that Windows thing. Also, is it the native resolution of this Windows Mobile? I heard a few phones had crazy resolutions like the double of the iPhone. I'd be curious to see the quality of that :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiagosilva29 Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 nice, but i dont surf with my mobile, hoped for skin to be global :/, no matter. :), great for people who actually do Which device do you use?We can look into supporting a range of devices if people require this? I think he's talking about using the skin in non-mobile browsers. For that he would have to change its useragent string. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redeemed Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Posting from my Jasjam (WM 6.1), and I must say, excellent job Timan and all the devs and testers (?), and everyone who made this possible. 5/5 :cool: I used to browse the lofi forums and while that did the job, I couldn't search/reply/do anything like the full forum. Plus each page is only max 10KB, which is a great bandwidth saver. Thanks Neowin :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeR Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 (edited) Awesome the iPhone version is great...however one thing I did notice is that the main forum page does not fit 100% some of the text is too long and makes the page scroll to the right. edit: are you guys using mod_rewrite to hide the url path? I want to try it on my PC. Edited October 2, 2008 by KeR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to try it on my PC. The useragent string for PIE on Windows mobile is Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows CE; IEMobile m.n) copy and paste that wherever needed. :) And tbh, I think it does look better than the lofi version of the forums.

zape Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 I expect demand a Symbian S60 3rd version made; Please remember that the iPhone is a little bit over a year old and Symbian has been here for a VERY long time; Again a Symbian version should be made before the iPhone version; Symbian has alot more marketshare than iPhone. Thanks and great addition to the site :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xerxes Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Awesome, I'll have to try this out on my Touch :) it's a shame there don't seem to be many free (if any?) wireless hot spots in Melbourne, the only place I can use the wireless is at home and work (but the internet is blocked at work, but I only use it for my internal mail).

sharp65 Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 not sure if this has been reported yet, but when you click on a thread in the iPhone skin it puts you at the bottom of the thread instead of the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
