Re: Want to help beta test the new MOBI interface by Jeff Carpenter on Aug 4, 2008 at 3:25:39 pm
First off, this is really great! I hadn't done much COW-surfing on my iPhone, but I suspect this will change from now on.
My only suggestion is to bump the font size of the forum text up one notch. Right now I can see (on average) two posts on a vertical iPhone screen. I'd rather have slightly larger text and just scroll a little more often. I think you'd still tend to see almost a whole post at a time even with a slightly larger font.
But that's just from an iPhone perspective. If what you have now is perfect for Blackberries or something, it's not worth changing. It's certainly fine the way it is, that's just the only suggestion I can think of. Everything else works great.

Very nice job. I'm posting this from an iPhone. Well actually the iPhone simulator, but same basic thing. If I had to suggest anything for version 2, it would be to add Favorites support for the forums. It takes a while to find a forum on the phone.

Well I started to post something about how awesome it is (with one suggestion for version 2: Favorites support in the list of Forums). I was posting from my iPhone. But after I pressed "Post Direct," I saw this:

I really like the it. One thing I would like to see really has nothing to do with the mobile site, but I would love to have a added link in the emails that are sent out notifying of a response to a thread you have posted on, it would be nice if there was a link to the mobile version of the site in the email also.

[Ron Lindeboom]"There is a way, just change the word forums.creativecow.net in the address to mobi.creativecow.net and hit return. "
Yes but on the iPhone when you tap on the link in the email it automatically launches safari and begins loading the page. To change it you ether have to wait for the page to load or stop it loading before changing the address.
There is already two links in the email that is sent out, I dont think a 3rd would be any more confusing.
