What is on Your Mind?

Welcome

If you take a look at this picture of my monitor:

https://www.unix.com/members/1-album...icture765.html

... you will see how great it is....

On the left side is the vBulletin template editor (the works space) and on the right are two mobile forum windows using ?styleid=137 like this for example:

Code:

https://www.unix.com/online.php?styleid=137

So, on the right is the "who is online" page auto-refreshing every 30 seconds and also the "new posts" page with the same refresh rate. That way, i can work on the code base (HTML or PHP) and keep an eye on the forums and bring up any page in mobile view as I build it without having to refresh my mobile phone.

In addition, I use the same config to keep an eye on the forums even when not developing because I can see "who is online" and what has been just posted so easily while working on non forum projects.

In a nutshell, I find the mobile views very good on the desktop as well.

Yes, the mobile editor does not have the code tag, or other editor buttons (yet) but I can do basic replies and if need be, switch to the desktop version.

I'm loving this mobile view, and plan more features step-by-step.

Note, to go back to desktop view, just do:

Code:

https://www.unix.com/online.php?styleid=38

and then back to mobile view on the desktop:

Code:

https://www.unix.com/online.php?styleid=137

This monitor that you have looks just great. Could be just what I need. I need to watch a number Expert Advisors (robots) on market charts (eg, FTSE100, SPX500, Cable Forex, etc) along with the MQL4/5 code I've written them in, so like you, I'm looking for multiple real-time monitoring. I can buy one of those here in the UK and get small change from GBP1K.

One good recommendation is worth 50 sales pitches!!! Thanks again.

Well, for me I could not be maintaining (even close) this level and speed of development without this amazing monitor.

No headaches. No eye strain.

Developing code is fun again!

Have started work on a new "Javascript Search Panel" for mobile, so there is a new icon that looks like a magnifying glass in the top mobile navbar.

Currently, clicking on that icon will open a future search panel, and if you click on the other icon on the right (the side menu panel) it will close the TBD search panel and open the side nav panel...

I plan a new search panel for (1) the forums and (2) another one for all the man page sets. The strawman is working and I just need to create the search forms for the panels.

Also, I still plan to get the mobile left and right swiping working for all mobile pagination; hopefully will figure that out sooner than later.

Have been thinking about this:

Considering to change the default mobile view to "Today's Tech Talk" which shows all the discussions in the past 24 hours versus showing the boring forum index page. Also, I am thinking to add small user avatar images for "who is online" to show rows of small 16x16 avatars when users are logging in.

Today, I increased the font size and uses some replacement text magic to shorten the forum names in forum view (on the home page); but the problem with this page is that is is most static all the time.

For the time being I put a "Today's Tech Talk" menu item at the top of the home page.

I need to make a lot more changes, as the more I view this the more changes I want to make.

.. and still need to get the mobile swiper code working as well ....

OBTW: I changed the size of the forums embedded YouTube videos (bbcode attributes for youtube videos) to

Code:

 width="320" height="180"

from

Code:

 width="640" height="360"

The reason for this is that the big size will not fit into the mobile view.

In the future I will try to find some responsive CSS code so the desktop site will show the larger video sizes and the mobile site with automagically show the smaller sizes.

On the other hand, for the time being, the smaller size embedded YT videos are fine, and we can easily select "full screen" to make it bigger, etc.

Thanks to MadeInGermany for his suggestion to add the original thread starter to each post, which I have added in the main forums and also in mobile and also to mobile:
