Mobile SCF?

As I sit in the waiting room of a hospital waiting for my wife to get out of surgery, I decided to get on SCF on my smart phone. I wonder - is there a mobl version of this site? What would it take to create one? Thanks!

I get on SCF all the time on my I-Phone.

Think along the same lines of "full screen" movies - "This movie has been modified to fit your tv screen ...".

Many websites are reformatted to accomodate small phone screens and reduced data content in consideration of service speed and/or data plans. The site worked on my Samsung w/ Android OS, but was too clumsy & slow for me to stay on for any length of time.

I was just curious what it would take to make an scf.mobl site - both time and cost.

Brian, its something that I play around with for a few days every now and then. It's not an easy task. I also have to think about keeping the revenue streams at least somewhat comparable on a mobile site. I'm not saying it will never happen, but not a priority right now either.

I just turn my phone sideways. Seems to work pretty good. Input fields are still kinda small, by my GSIII expands them when I click to enter data.

There are a couple of things that would make it resize correctly on a phone.

1. The layout is currently based on tables. If it was changed to floating div's, it would be fluid
2. Any fixed-width element has troubles resizing. e.g. The ads/images. On mobile, these would have to be replaced with mobile-ads instead of standard ads. (adsense has a few mobile sizes)


You can see the effect on a PC by re sizing the width of your windo smaller and smaller until the text starts cutting off.

You obviously didn't look very close at the code or you wouldn't have said it like it was easy to do.

I believe table was singular in the code, for this page. But if I recall correctly, it has only to do with object organization.
I wouldn't want to have to write the code that moves the cells around. By the time I got done the whole thing would look like spaghetti!

Thanks for the work you guys do already!!

As it is, my phone's screen gets overcrowded to the point that it's not very usable.

Barring a mobile friendly HTML version, Tapatalk compatibility would be GREAT. There are NO other philately sites listed in Tapatalk's directory.
