Suggestions to improve the site
Hi all,
I thought I would just open a topic for suggestions on potential improvements / additions that could be made to the site over the next little while.
The topic will be open for about a week and then I will consider the suggestions and try to add the ones which I can reasonably do over the next little while.
Thanks,
Dhruv

Re: Suggestions to improve the site
Is there anything we can do to publicize the site a bit more (I know, not a site design thing, but just asking). We have never done any publicity work, but some minimal work would be useful. Could we add a whatsapp/twitter/facebook sharing faciilty for posts here, for instance? Just the icons appearing beliow the posts (The poster being able to select if forwarding/sharing should be allowed, would be even better). Just wondering. I have no idea how easy it is, or if it possible. I assume the forum software probably does not allow it?

Re: Suggestions to improve the site
Yes, somehow I cannot log on from mobile these days, only I can read the forum.
Also look into why some of the forum threads do not show up after clicking " Active topics " like for example this topic or golf thread etc.

Done. You share posts on a bunch of different places now. I can make it topics or posts.jayakris wrote: ↑Sun Mar 03, 2019 2:07 am Is there anything we can do to publicize the site a bit more (I know, not a site design thing, but just asking).

Re: Suggestions to improve the site
What do you mean by more mobile friendly? It should show fine on mobiles ?
I haven't logged in and tried to enter and yes tapatalk doesn't work but specifically what would you like to see to make it more mobile friendly.
Maybe the recent changes help as well?

Re: Suggestions to improve the site
Wow, and done so fast! ... Thanks, Dhruv. By the way, I haven't had trouble viewing the forum with a browser, or posting, on my andorid mobile phone. Not particularly mobile friendly, I guess, but it works for me like a regular web page. I am old fashioned and often prefer regular web pages (if I can have that) to the mobile versions of web sites, though. Jay

Re: Suggestions to improve the site
Dhruv, thanks again for all your work. We don’t recognize your efforts enough here. Some may not even know you are the key force behind this forum. I’ve never been able to attach a table or picture easily. If there is an existing way, could you or someone please share a tutorial? In spirit of improvement, could this be improved?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Tables will add that in custom code. Will take me 60 minutes or so and then likely have to post instructions on use. Maybe an easier way but let me check.
Added a chat box and chat as well.

Finally, for those talking about mobile friendly, do you find https://meta.discourse.org more or less mobile friendly.
Thanks,

Re: Suggestions to improve the site
Dhruv,
Thanks a lot for silently supporting the passion of so many here. With you appearing once a year or less frequently here, most people don't even know that you are the one providing this platform. As Atithee rightly said, we don't recognize you enough! Can't believe it's more than a decade and half since SI became an integral part of life. Thanks a bunch again for doing it!

Re: Suggestions to improve the site
Same issue for me in that I can't log on from an Android device. Using the same username/password logs me on from a laptop. I don't get an error message. It just reverts back to a blank log-in box.
It's Android 7.1.1
