Don't worry...
The buttons in the post above are safe to click.
I'm not THAT evil. 
On the contrary, I can't recall if I've hit the 
button… ever. Maybe once, now that I think of it.
Depending upon your point of view, @racoon city is either more evil or far nicer than claimed as I hit one of his "Mark Read" buttons and it marked the entire Internet as read.
On the one hand this is a great relief, as I was previously planning for this to take 53 billion years and counting.
On the other hand, now I have nothing to do. I burned all my books for heat long ago and don't play "free" mobile games.
Well, back to drinking, I guess.
Drinking’s what got me here in the first place!
If only I had some ink ribbons…
See what happened to the once popular XDA–developers Forum. Not mobile friendly, ad–overloaded and slow.
The discussions take now place in Telegram: Fast, direct, mobile friendly, no ads.
The traffic on my dating website is meanwhile 3/4 mobile. Lightning fast, both mobile and desktop, decent amount of ads and an excellent Google web.dev score. AMP pages are also available.
That keeps the visitors coming.
Web development is an never ending marathon. If you fall behind you’ll never catch up.
Once popular XDA Developers forum? XDA still exists, and for what it's worth, it is doing nice. I am also nearly always on mobile and don't complain, but of course I must admit I am a completely unorthodox mobile user.
@#$%, after scrolling down and selecting a style chooser on the bottom left drop down… Wow, what a mess as it engages in loading all the forums in a single uncategorized page! In practice, though, it is pretty fine imho. The front page loads quickly and then you use the search function to go where you want.
I must admit, though, that I respectfully despise all what is coming to the market concerning smartphones nowadays: disproportionately oblong screens covering the full front area with stupid aspect ratios which don't work well neither in landscape (too little height) nor in portrait (too narrow), retardedly big devices… and crap. Hope all of that dies sometime.
I think this site is fine… thank you to whoever made it.
I wouldn’t mind having the Author and Replies columns (which are narrow) moved to the left side on the Home page, and the Title column, which is wide, moved to the middle.
Just to make it a bit easier to notice when there are new replies to a thread I’m interested in looking at.
+1. If any attempt to actually hold the phone causes touch controls to activate, you’ve invented a device that will one day be marveled at in museums dedicated to stupid product design. I’d like to complain some more, but this is the wrong thread for it and my overcharged battery is dying prematurely and requires a brain surgeon to replace 
.
“That’s no phone… it’s a space station.”
What’s the best method to access the site via a mobile device?
Just any old mobile browser will do. It’s probably a bit better in landscape mode, and it might require panning the page a bit to make the main post section fill the screen a bit better, but once you’re there the experience isn’t terrible.
It looks pretty good on my Android and my iPad, I just use Firefox mobile or Safari.
It works on a mobile but oe needs to do a lot of finger squeeze expanding and moving to be able to read easily. i find it better on my 8” tablet than the 6” galaxy s9+. True mobile would be nice but I imagine would need a total redo of the site software.
True mobile would be nice? Surely not for me. For many years I've had a personal endeavour to avoid mobile sites and mobile crap as much as possible, using mobile. Custom ROMs, browsers with desktop user agents, reduced screen dpi to set as much content as possible and for sites to think my display is a good deal bigger, landscape mode, etc.
I love to finger squeeze, and to use my device in landscape. Comparatively, there are a few forums out there which in my opinion are really terrible to use with a mobile device in desktop mode, one of them the very own G00gl€ forums, and another one is the Opera forums… :facepalm:
Long live this forum, and if it has to change someday hope a really good software is chosen again.
As said before, modern smartphones have been designed by brain-deads.
Since I no longer have a computer at home, I’ve been using my iPhone X to access BLF for the past 3 years. The screen is relatively small for today’s standards, but I find it working flawlessly and actually it now feels weird when I access from a desktop browser.
It loads the desktop version by default and it can auto zoom in to the content section to the right. The only thing that bothers me sometime is when people nest quote.
I find myself in a similar situation. I have a W10 laptop which I very sparsely use, and mostly access the forum from my smartphone.
I find it just right too. Unlike certain people, I do not want @#$% internet sites figuring out what my device is and sending me whatever they think its best. I spend great effort configuring my device to my liking, using any and all possible means to handle the internet content I want in it, which is full desktop sites nearly all of the time. In fact I find annoying how certain “modern” desktop sites are implemented, with stupidly big content or @#$% useless onscreen bars. :facepalm:
The quote nesting thing is a problem sometimes, with selfish or careless people often involved even if naively. It is simply wrong and I'd happily edit and chop any badly nested quotes on sight. I'm not a forum moderator, though.
I too dislike mobile versions. I don’t often use a phone, but I find a site that tries to “customize” my “experience”
Always fails and pisses me off when I use it.
All the Best,
Jeff
I started to type out a snarky reply to FaithTerry, but they're a spambot, so I'd just be talking to myself. 
Yep, and they made the exact same comment sometime in the last week, only to later add a spam link to their comment, and then eventually their comment disappeared.
