So what's the deal with no mobile app for Barf? I think I'm on here about twice as much on my phone and it sucks trying to navigate with it.:thumbdown Anyone know if there's something in the works?

The browser in my ipod touch works well enough.
The mobile apps I've tried which support sites like photobucket and you-tube are so limited that I don't even bother with them.

(do you really have to be connected all the time?)
 
Who needs an app - my Blackberry navigates this site just fine :thumbup :teeth
 
There is a more mobile friendly version but still runs on Mobile web. Forgot to search for it in the geek speak thread, but I believe the link is stickied there.
 
Not planned for any time soon.

And before all the complaints and discussions start here is the reason. BARF is free for you to use. It is run by volunteers. Mobile crap would be just one more thing for them to deal with.

Also, just like to say I'd say 75% of my use of BARF is on my iPhone.

no experience with tapatalk, but i have no problem between the standard and versions either (also on android); mostly i use the mobile, and switch to standard if i want to see pictures or be able to quote.

on the standard page, there's also a drop down at the bottom of the page to switch to mobile, and if you're on mobile, it's a link to switch back to standard.
 
Ahhh, WTF! I clicked that link on my computer to see what it would look like (crappy, duh), closed the window, but now all the pages are still loading in the mobile form! Go away, crappity mobile site!
 
Per jack the tripper we don't make a run at your pockets and that means we don't do some of the coolest shit. However our community is cooler than shit and that makes up for a few things you might find from the bigger more advertising invasive sites.

I can live with that. Hope you can too. One extra click ya know?

There should be a link at the bottom that says regular site or somethin to that affect. :thumbup
 
I use mini BARF on my $15 fon and normal BARF on my $15 computer.
 
The new "Light Mobile Style" in version 4 looks great and no tapatalk bs.
 
Now I feel Dumb. I had no idea there was this little mobile link thing at the bottom. Works great just toggle back and forth. With my newly discovered powers surfing this site on my iPhone is a breeze. Just switching back and forth between mobile and standard.
Good thing I made this thread probably wouldn't have noticed that like link for a year lol.
