I'm barely even a lurker (on any site). I signed up to ask some questions but don't get to interact much since the site isn't responsive (ie unusable on mobile).

As has been said already, Facebook info is not retrievable so the social media way isn't very helpful either. When it comes to asking questions, I prefer the stackoverflow style and so I use askamiga.com (disclaimer, I was part of the effort to get that online).

EDIT: I've just found the mobile skin in my profile. That may help :)

Yes, like I say - it works great when you change skin/theme to mobile. I just wasn't aware of that option. Might be worth making it more discoverable.

It takes a little getting used to, but it loads really fast which is great. It should help not just on the mobile but on IBrowse too :)

How'd you find it?  Been using this site for something like 15 years and never knew about it, LOL. http://www.amiga.org/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Wink" smilieid="4" class="inlineimg" />



I typically browse this site from my Amiga using the a.org proxy (which renders the site different for compatibility).




I found it in the user control panel, there was an option buried at the bottom ( I think) of one of the pages. It works relatively well and although I haven't browsed from my Amiga yet, doing the same on EAB has sped up browsing a lot.

I'm following the latest WRP updates though which will enhance browsing a lot on Amiga by delivering https pages rendered as gifs with clickable URLs and text entry :) http://askamiga.com/questions/question/how-can-i-view-https-sites-with-ibrowse
