Title: Any plans to update the forum interface?
Post by Mindhead1 on 10/31/25 at 15:18:28

Checking to see if there are any plans to update the forum interface?

The experience using this forum is very poor on mobile devices and not the best on a PC either. Forum engagement would likely increase with a better interface.

Really liking my Declare Rachael would enjoy interacting with other Decware fans on this forum more frequently.

What browser do you use? For me it is perfectly usable with Chrome on a PC. One my phone it is a little more limited but still works reliably. I'm admittedly an old guy, but I appreciate the simplicity of plain text.

Steve is the site admin, and while I can't speak for him I suspect messing with the forum is well down his to-do list.

It's usable on my PC, but not so much on mobile devices like phones and tablets. The text rendering on mobile devices is static and forces a lot of zooming in/out in order to read which results in a poor user experience.

I for sure get that Steve is busy and this is probably not a priority, but thought I would provide the feedback.

Here is an example of a forum I participate in that works well on PC and mobile devices. https://www.needlesandgrooves.com

I’ve used iPads exclusively on the forums for many years and have never had any issues excepting my own stupidity.

My cell phone is likely again sitting in my pickup dead. Yup, old school type who does not live with screens attached to the hands, thumbs and face. I check in here once in a while on this old desktop. My family and friends sure do get irritated at me though when I don't answer my phone...I need to go get it (find it) and plug it in more often for sure. I guess I understand that. This forum is simple.... and simple works fine for me. ;) ~Kathy sure does get mad at me if I forget that phone running around in the woods etc on my own. I tell her that where we live, lots of areas where there is no signal anyway. Health thing. I will NOT say that again to her! Yikes!
All the best everyone Mike

Doug.. you made me laugh... I can relate. [smiley=icqlite20.png]
