ASC mobile?
 
It's been mentioned that there is a mobile version of the site for iPhones etc. Anyone know how to enable this?

Cheers

Mitchell12 November 6th, 2009 13:18

It's one of the styles isn't it?

Ronan November 6th, 2009 13:23

It works fine on my iTouch the way it is. What issues are you having?

Frozen Tex November 6th, 2009 13:27

I use it on my BB Storm; occasionally a page loads only the first post, and actually posting is slow, but otherwise it's fine.

Ronan November 6th, 2009 14:04

Hmnn on the iTouch/iPhone i found it easy to browse.

What kind of browser comes with BB? Do they have options? I recall last phone having options to make it easier to browse since it didn't use a 'full' browser.

Got to your browser settings and change it to column view. Makes EVERYTHING on my BB Bold easier to read at a distance.

surebet November 6th, 2009 14:30

I used to use it with my Curve, but since I lost images (and the all important AV tag) I switched back to the regular version with tables off.

With my Tour I just use the regular version

CDN_Stalker November 6th, 2009 14:40

I have it on my BB, I just initially accessed it via Google then bookmarked it. Bit of a pain to get around here, but am able to if need be.

Kokanee November 6th, 2009 14:44

Oh I'm viewing it just fine on my iPhone but am interested if there is an optimized version is all. Actually typing this post on my phone right now.

CDN_Stalker November 6th, 2009 14:58

Ah, ok. My biggest peeve is having to scroll down through all the menus above just to get to the forums, or the threads, etc. Is why I try to avoid looking stuff up on my BB, I just use my work PC or personal laptop(s).

Dart November 6th, 2009 15:05

has anyone found a way to stop doing the ASC warp? My samsung omnia loves to warp me up to the top left corner or randomly down to someones name. I think its trying to *find the last post* but fuck its annoying.

coach November 6th, 2009 15:06

the bottom bar of any page will have a style menu. select mobile for a text only version.

I use it on my HTC to conserve bandwidth. I sometimes use it on my iTouch as it loads much faster

use this link: http://www.airsoftcanada.com/showthread.php?t=93157&styleid=17

if you click that link by accident on a PC, just log out and it will clear the style ID and revert to normal/default

Tex November 6th, 2009 15:37

you can change to the mobile version anytime from the style menu at the very bottom of any page.

s'ok. it's all good if mobile users can benefit from our information.

I hate waiting for the full ASC page to load on my smartphone or iTouch plus navigating is a pain with everything so small.

I do wish there was a feature to create a page that only loads frequently viewed forums or preferred forums rather than all of them for when I'm browsing on my phone.

mcguyver May 13th, 2011 18:35

Sorry to necro this, but is there anyway to disable this piece of shit fucking mobile bullshit? It sucks on an iPad, and until today I was able to get the full version, not this mobile useless horseshit.

Sorry for the bad language, it's frustrating as hell.

pewpew May 13th, 2011 18:38

Same here, i accidentally clicked on the pop up and I dont see any links to change it.
Thanks

Tex May 13th, 2011 19:01

I didn't click any pop up and still have this ugly crap. Changing styleid does nothing and no options anywhere to go back.

VooDooPeteK May 13th, 2011 19:05

ASC is a part of the tapatalk network so just download the app (its free). The app makes everything so much better and will also sort things out for you.

Not only that but you can access many forums through this app so it multi functions for you if needs be

coach May 13th, 2011 19:11

The tapatalk app is great. Keeps my data usage down and loads extremely fast compared to using safari or opera.

One thing though, the tapatalk plugin needs to be updated.

Those who clicked the mobile ....check that. Just realized ASC is defaulting to the mobile screen automatically. You use to be able to log out, clear your history and load the full page.

Must have been part of a recent upgrade.

Cue admins with network access....

Tex May 13th, 2011 19:13

I personally don't like tapatalk never have so that's a no go. All I want is the full site as it is no apps no textonly junk. Cleared cache/cookies, logged out, changed styleid notta so I'll wait an see if it's just a glitch with updates or maintenance they are doing.

Viking May 13th, 2011 19:19

This sucks.

mcguyver May 13th, 2011 19:20

WTF are you supposed to do with this tapatalk crap? I downloaded an app, so now what?

I have an even better idea, how about kill this ASC Mobile abortion. I don't want it, don't need it and my life would be better without it.

sundae_1021 May 13th, 2011 19:31

It works fine with my android. captivate. (at first)
Now, I can't see all the threads. Only what is new. Shitty tapatalk..

Which version? Free or paid? The free version won't let you post, I believe, and only allows you to read all content your user access permits.

Run the app and find the search tab then search for Airsoft Canada. Once you open ASC, simply log on and browse the forums.

The first page that opens is the current unread 'new posts' that you haven't viewed yet. At the bottom you can change to the forums tab to go directly to the sub forum you want.

PM tab is for your PM's. Note, it auto saves outgoing messages so if you max out your inbox, check you saved folder.

In the 'More' tab, you can customize the bottom bar to show your preferred tabs. In it you can also do site wide searching and a bunch of other stuff.

If you log out of ASC, there's a settings tab which you can customize the way tapatalk is viewed. ie, 20 posts per page, different page view styles, view avatars and pictures etc...

Viking May 13th, 2011 20:57

I want my old ASC back.

MASAKO May 13th, 2011 21:08

I also want the old version back.

thank you whoever did the update. the popup notice that it need to be updated was starting to get annoying.

Silverthorn May 13th, 2011 21:46

i am also stuck with the mobile version of ASC on my iad. I don't see any options in user CP or elsewhere to change back...help?

I have a feeling it's an automated feature that ASC is detecting that you are on a mobile device and is forcing the mobile layout as default. The only way to disable it before was to log out but that doesn't work now.

It's being looked at.

DEATH2000 May 13th, 2011 23:01

With the number of people with Blackberry's we should start an ASC BBM group!

KEVORKIAN May 13th, 2011 23:17

I refuse to surf ASC on my iPhone or iPad...this tapatalk is nothing but BULL$#IT !

S.N.A.F.U May 13th, 2011 23:33

@ bottom via style menu, where its default boring blue, im on asc mobile right now... its just a less detailed version of asc thats quicker and easier to load...

been suggested by a noob. some tried and it died.

I'm not sure everyone with a BBM wants to be involved or get bombarded with messages from people on ASC outside of ASC. I don't really see any point. It's posted here. You can read and reply to it here. It would duplicate messages and topics.

voorhees -FWA- May 14th, 2011 01:09

On my Torch... I just tried to use the mobile feature. It wouldn't let me go back to the regular version (no option) so I logged out, it cleared the cookies, and I went to a different site, back to ASC and logged back in with the regular site. Maybe this helps?

Watdapakman May 14th, 2011 01:33

I want my ASC back this mobile version sucks

TaroBear May 14th, 2011 02:01

I don't understand what people are complaining about? Runs great on the iPhone. It ran fine (slowly), on my shitty old LG phone, too. Are there sizing issues?

Tex May 14th, 2011 02:36

The problem is
A: there is no choice anymore it's forcing the mobile version
B: the mobile version is text only and lacks well everything and the full site ran just fine on iOS devices before.
C: mobile version is just ugly.

I have no need to save bandwidth if I did I may choose to use this text only thing but I don't so I like to see full websites.

MultipleParadox May 14th, 2011 06:38

Been using Tapatalk from day one, works pretry well. On iphone.

You guys should give it a try, or a second one :P

SuperCriollo May 14th, 2011 08:40

WTF. My IPad is doing the same shit. Please ASC staff ,fix it !! I hate this Mobile POS version.

$£B May 14th, 2011 12:43

i agree, i'm an ipad user and I hate asc mobile. For those who don't understand, put asc mobile on your computer and you'll see why. If it can be fixed, I think all ipad users will be happy with it.

Cobrajr122 May 14th, 2011 12:51

This mobile layout is horrendous on my phone - its not a 'smart phone'... it cant handle it!

venture May 14th, 2011 12:56

I was certainly happier with the "boring blue" on my phone.

Eien May 14th, 2011 16:39

Hm I was wondering why it reverted to a mobile version.. me don't like, my blackberry doesn't like either.

surebet May 14th, 2011 16:45

I set my blackberry browser to appear as a a desktop browser, I bypass all mobiles site.

dutch13 May 14th, 2011 17:39

How in god's name do I turn it off...I can't access the classifieds, and have to go through way too many links to get to pm's.

Really?
Scroll down and click on the classifieds forum you want.
For pm's click UserCP at the top of any page and click private messaging.
How's that too many links?

Fair enough. Im just trying to meet and talk to more people on a regular basis who share an interest in airsoft.

If anyone does want to add me feel free. My pin is 216D81BA

w1lp33 May 14th, 2011 18:29

mobile layout is garbage, especially if you just want to glance at the newest topics in each board. Should give people the option of mobile or full layout... ASC always worked flawlessly on my iPhone 4...

Viking May 14th, 2011 18:29

My pain is exclusively with the iPad. Hands down, it sucks.

Odd. I can see and access everything in safari and opera mini on my 3GS.

Coresair May 14th, 2011 21:00

everything's fine on my 3 yo Curve 8330! sometimes a bit long to load but nothing too excessive.

really? i have a mobile version with three links, forum, new posts and user cp. I miss the full version... took like fifteen seconds to load before.... mobile takes just as long and i cant access a thread through the forums by browsing, i have to specifically search for it... is this because of the vbulletin update? or is it something temporary that they are fixing...

Kelly_mccasin May 15th, 2011 00:20

Bring back the Full Layout!

Szevin May 15th, 2011 00:43

Is there anyway to bring back the normal site on my mobile? I not a fan of this.

Rugger_can May 15th, 2011 01:13

The staff have indicated they are looking into it.

HauntedTank May 15th, 2011 08:17

Yes this mobile view with no option to access full site is not good.
I don't like it.

My blackberry brings up all the links on the homepage in one solid line across the screen. If i could take a photo I would. Just a page of blue letters.

cetane May 15th, 2011 12:55

I do 99% of my browsing on my iphone. Not liking mobile version at all. I want it turned off

BrokenBird May 15th, 2011 15:51

I started a new thread, didn't see this one, also pissed as hell, I want my old ASC back, not this piece of crap, and I HATE talkapat, bought the pro version last night and still hate it. When opening email notifications it won't open in talkapat but in the web browser, back in that piece of crap mobile mode.

These mobile sites were fine in the early 2000 when phones were just phones with little web features, but now phones are full computer more than able to support a full site.

Swattiger May 15th, 2011 18:38

Also support the classic view rather than the mobile version.

The ASC moderator should have seen this already. Please take action to offer us a choice !

Shirley May 15th, 2011 18:47

Anyway of having the inbox messages sent to your email and replying off there?

SuperCriollo May 15th, 2011 19:08

Worst case scenario you can buy Skyfire. It has the option to view any page as a desktop as well as pretty cool Flash video feture.

cetane May 15th, 2011 20:38

Huh. Just noticed this mobile view has no ads on it from the asc paying venders. I bet they'll not like that.

Yannos May 15th, 2011 20:45

I just went in my phone options and disable the automatic mobile version for websites.
Now everything is fine. Im on my phone right now. Everything is like the good'ol ASC.

Mantelope May 16th, 2011 11:21

Well, I'm an asshole for installing this. Mobile version remains available with the dropdown at the bottom left (or via http://www.airsoftcanada.com/?styleid=18) but I've removed automatic redirect. If your phone is stuck in the mobile theme, go to http://www.airsoftcanada.com/?styleid=1

If you prefer, we also have Tapatalk support.
