Not sure if this is the right board for this but is there a better option for use of RL fans on mobile (iPhone) than safari?
There are countless adverts interfering with the screen and it’s quite buggy.
I recall an iPhone app once? That’s gone I presume?
Is there a decent mobile version of the site which I’m maybe not aware of which is more basic but cleaner?
TIA.

Firstly, I wasn’t complaining. I was wondering if I was using the wrong URL or if there was an app.
Secondly, I don’t mind adverts. I understand the need for them. I Just don’t want them Covering the majority of the bloody screen or popping back up within 3 seconds of clicking the ‘X’ to get rid. |

The user experience of this forum is absolutely appalling. It’s so so bad to use.

I have an ad blocker installed on my phone. I don't see any ads on this site at all.
It doesn't stop all the other glitches though, such as pages not loading and issues with posting replies.

You can't really say that on here because Ads help towards this forum financially. |

The site kinda seems like aids on mobile. If ever I browse here on my iPhone for more than say, 10 mins, my phone starts heating up and the battery starts draining faster than usual until I close the site. Not sure what that problem could be, but it's probably the ads and videos that are all constantly seemingly being loaded

Yeah, that’s a good way of describing it.
This site is aids for your phone. |

Yeah. I can imagine that would happen on a 20 year old Nokia. Get a decent phone. I have a decent phone and have literally never experienced anything like you have just posted.
A website making a smartphone heat up? Yeah ok. |

Literally says "iPhone" in the post you quoted... And just for reference it's happened on my last 2! Started on my 11 Pro Max and I figured it was just the phone and maybe because I'd had it 18 months, but then I upgraded to a 13 Pro Max and it still happens.... |

The web experience isnt much better. The adverts i can cope with but you cant mark all forums read (gives a maintenance message and then does the exact opposite) and i oftenget errors when trying to quote
I helped to run a few music related forums many moons ago (in the age of cgi-perl) and something is definately broken

iPhone 12 iOS 17.3, and this website gives it aids. The framework of this website hasn’t been updated in over decade. There’s your problem. |

Maybe we should all put in a fiver a year for each username we have on here. That should cover costs.

Ok, I will answer questions about the framework of the site, but not the adverts as I don't look after that side of things.
The site is built on the same product we started the site on almost 25 years ago, so it is wholly out of date and vast in its size, it was an off the shelf product and we have got a bit stuck with it over the years. I have, as best as possible, massaged the site to keep it alive throughout that period and added custom written functionality, like the like system, the right column of tables and the customised profiles, themes for clubs etc......
I have rewritten the site almost entirely into a more lean and customisable version already, it is about 70% done. As you can imagine writing things like this takes a lot of time, and I work full time as well and am the only tech person on the site who can do any code whatsever.
I am hoping that in the new year we migrate to the new setup, it will look almost exactly like the current one to begin with, then I can mold it into the things we need and hopefully leave the bugs behind or fix them quickly.
But all this takes time and I am pretty short of that.
If the site earned enough money to employ me I would do it all now, but it doesn't come anywhere near and it is a labour of love.
I am always keen to know peoples experiences on the site and its usability, so please send them into me paul@rlfans.com or paul.coward@rlfans.com and we will do our best to fulfill them in the new site version or fix them here. |
