A way to use the message board on a smart phone?

[VirtualAdept0]

i'm not always able to be at a computer, but I want to keep my posts up to date. I always have my android on me, so any chance this can/could be accomplished?

I use it on my iPhone daily. What's the issue you're seeing?

unless the made it mobile web friendly, it was kinda annoying to use the message board from my phone. i know there are forum apps for smart phones, but i dont know if any are compatible with paizo's message board

I also post from my iPhone all the time using the normal web based forums and don't experience any problems. My apologies, but I'm not sure I quite understand what you are asking ...

Im not having any trouble posting, its just clunky to do so.

I also frequently use my iPhone to read the forums without a problem.

Making posts is a bit more difficult, due to the large text entry width compared to what is visible on the screen. (If I can easily read the text, I can't see more than about 40% of the line.)

same here, there are forum apps for smart phones, but I don't know if any work with this forum in particular

There is not a web-friendly version of the site. I believe it's been mentioned somewhere that it's on the tech team's to-do list, but pretty low on the priority. Expected, seeing as they have all that Gamespace stuff to get done and running.

There is a Wayfinder app on Android for play-by-posts on the Paizo site, but nothing more than that.

EDIT: Here be thy link. Seeing that you've been in no online campaigns, it will likely be of no use to you, but it does exist and I like promoting it.

If you find posting on the forums inconvenient due to the formatting tags required, then a simple text snippet tool can be setup to ease the pain. The one I use on Android is called Clipper+. In it, I have setup tags for bold, italics, d20 rolls, spoilers, quotes, and even special characters.

We don't have a mobile-optimized version of the site right now, and our messageboards aren't compatible with any of the 3rd party forum applications. We do roll out improvements to the site reasonably regularly and in particular messageboard display on iPhones got a bit better this summer.

For what it's worth, don't bother using Firefox for Android to browse the forums.

Depends on how good you are at Speech to Text.

I post from my Nokia Lumia 920 (Windows Phone 8) more often than from my PC.

Including this very post, in fact!
