@InsaneCaterpilla @Indigo I just altered the mobile theme to make it faster and more reliable. Please let me know if it works!
We now have a hard-coded mobile theme instead of an adaptive theme that has a mobile mode.
I'm not fond of the look, or how little it has per page, but it seems a lot snappier
Yeah it's better
Great!
I'm going to try and make it look nicer, but It's gonna be fiddly. I've either got to pay a hilarious amount of money, or make my own theme. 😛
It's better to trim down on the options on the bottom sticky
Studies have shown that the more the options, people will be more hesitant to share.
Paradox of Options
Keep it limited to three or four
The bottom sticky?
Do you mean the social bar?
Yeah
It's for sharing, so it has to have several options
I'm not really sure if it's wise to remove any in this particular case.
In the redesign, it would be better to remove the some
Overall, a sticky is a bad UX practice
But I understand the need for it.
I meant that
Less choice= more action
I understand. I'll think about it.
And about homepage
The /amp page and another homepage **could** be bad for seo
I may be wrong though
@Men Are Human don't waste time editing a faulty theme.
@Indigo I'm not too sure if it would be since it's supposed to be something you can do SEO with
Have you checked any free bulletin software
I mean, mybb, discourse etc
Can try them on a local server
I'm personally leaning towards xenforo because free forum software is extremely insecure. From experience, you get walls of spam and the Devs often don't care.
There isn't much difference afaik when in comes to top free ones like mybb
Or you could try discourse
It has a better more modern ui
And needs very less customization to get to working state
@Indigo I really like the look of mybb
Discourse not so much. It requires you to basically stream it from a core site. If they decide to take it down, you are done.
Does discourse has self hosting option?
Then again, you'd need to be pretty competent to hack Discourse because it's compiled software.
You basically create a clone of it on a cloud server
You could self host discourse even on a local computer
