Mobile Geeking and other updates - 09-08-08, 03:32 PM

Been busy adding a few updates to the site and fixing a few issues...

First off, I have added mobile services which is essentially a stripped down version of the site designed to be viewed on mobile devices. Though the mobile version lacks in a lot of the bells and whistles, it does allow you to browse the forums from a mobile device much faster and easier than before. The mobile version kicks in when you browse to the site on your mobile device (note that not all mobile devices are supported).
  • After a short hiatus, the weekly newsletters are going out again.
  • I added Ajax registration features that should speed up new user registration.
  • I tweak the shout box so it didn't look so goofy
  • Chat rooms are up again
  • Search issue should be sorted now
  • I also fixed various other bugs on the site

Thank you Sam for your constant management and support to the site. I would be lost without this place .

I have noticed an improvement in the 5 second delay although I had got so used to it that it didn't bother me anymore, lol. Awww gee, I'm gonna miss it .

Thank you.

Sam,

Thank you for your time & effort in doing all this stuff to the site.

I'm not even sure if I even benefit from most of it, but I don't care, you're just a star for taking the time to ensure all us geeks are happy bunnies.

Thanks again xxxx

Can't wait for that 5 sec timer to be gone, then I will be on the site more often. That will mean no more housework, cooking, and washing, oh well listening to all the geeks is more fun.

Nice work Sam

Do you write your own custom PHP for any of the site, or is it mainly a question of integrating various open source modules? I'm intrigued as I am a Java geek myself...

I prefer the web version of geek which i cant access anymore even with my mobile's web browser... Boo hoo!! The mobile version automatically kicks in. Is it only forums that can be accessed via mobile or have a missed something? I cant seem to able to go anywhere else on geek

Ruth - Most items scripts I use are a mix of vanilla and customised commercial scripts. I also write a good chunk myself. I don't do java, but some javascript (they share nothing in common except for the name )

Nailique... what mobile device were you using? I have a pretty decent screen, but it still is a pain to surf the site normally with. Ill look for an option to swap over to a non-mobile version of the site if you want. Just give me some time

Chat room is up.
Search issue should be sorted.
