How do you view Thinkpad Forums on your mobile/tablet device
Hello all. I was just curious if I should buy and try out Tapatalk, I have yet to do so because of its exceptions it asks for. I've been using chrome for the past two months to lurk these forums on my cell phone (Samsung Galaxy S4) and well I'm slowly being irritated from zooming in and out to read posts.
It seems that Tapatalk is the only forum reader from the Google Play store. I have done some searching but not found much, other then knowing there is different iterations of Tapatalk.

Re: How do you view Thinkpad Forums on your mobile/tablet device
When I got my first Galaxy SII, I did quite a bit of web surfing as the phone is new and was a novelty. But it was only a novelty. As I'm on the road a lot, my preference for web surfing, email and some Office work is my laptop and/or 10" tablet. The phone is useful for phone calls, SMS, reading and quick responses to emails and tethering for my other devices.

I have a Galaxy Note 10.1 and I just view the forums using the browser.
I do have tapatalk, but it displays the forums in what I can only describe as a weird way of sorting. Over the years I have grown accustomed to how the forums look via browser. I know where everything is and I can navigate it pretty much blind. But in tapatalk, it's a pain in my backside. I did really try to use it solidly for a few weeks but I just couldn't handle it.
That being said since my tablet is a 10" device, the forums play nicely in the browser window.

Re: How do you view Thinkpad Forums on your mobile/tablet device
My mobile device is a cell phone (not a smart phone) with 3" display, so I view the forum in a browser and zoom in until I can read the fonts, then scroll all over the place to read...very cumbersome, but my only option for now.
Collection = T500 - R400 - X300 - X200 - T61 (14" WXGA+) - T61 (14.1" SXGA+) - T60 (15" SXGA+) - X40 - T43p - T43 - T42p - A30P - 600E

Re: How do you view Thinkpad Forums on your mobile/tablet device
BlackBerry's browser works fine for me. Always has - for this forum - while NBR and Lenovo Forums are an absolutely horrendous PITA to view...

Re: How do you view Thinkpad Forums on your mobile/tablet device
Thank you for your replies everyone.
I think I might find a plugin for mobile version of chrome or try a different browser that supports a Stylish-like extension.
I'll deal with the zoom problems for now.
