Its difficult to read post on this forum using Chrome on my mobile since my Samsung J1 has a low resolution. To read any post i either need to rotate the screen or zoom in then scroll from left to right and back constantly. Iphones and other top range phones have high resolutions, so no zooming is necessary. Its been annoying me for a while, since visiting poiscenter on a PC can be uncomfortable (having to constantly look over my shoulder that nobody sees me visiting websites that discuss orgasming). Sameer has a very valid need for a more mobile friendly site since, like me, we'd like to keep our browsing of poiscenter private.

However, I have some experience with smf so I know there arent really many mobile friendly or responsive themes out there. One option is to install the Tapatalk package on the forum. Though i've never used it myself I know it presents the forum in a mobile friendly format. Another option is to install the "somewhat" responsive Curve theme modification, but I havent used that myself either. Since Sameer brought up the problem though, I guess I'll play around with one of my old smf forum and see what could work for poiscenter.

I believe that since POIS is so unknown, every effort should be made to make information re it more easily accessible, but personally I just want the forum to be more active and fun to use for those with pois.

I have other complaints about the layout of the forum, but I'm content with just lurking for now. I'm really glad this forum exists, and appreciate the effort that has gone into making the forum what it is today, so i don't wanna come across as ungrateful. I just want to help.

Anyway, guys be strong. I know how unbearable it is being in pois, and how many of you still havent found any treatment that works, but don't give up. Even if nobody around you understands you, we do, so guys don't be scarce, be more active on the forum. Everytime i view the unread posts when I visit and see a new post i feel less miserable knowing that others are talking about it. I know i'm just a lurker, but seeing activity on poiscenter gives me hope, it makes the battle feel less lonely.

Edit: Seriously, your anti spam measures are making it difficult for users to join and post. Your verification question regarding b/f wasnt so bad (still difficult imo) but the one regarding admin i couldnt get right, its evidently not daveman nor demografx. Just a thought.

Hi MiY4Gi,

I never use my cellphone to browse on the forum, so I was not aware these issues.  You bring to light an important point: when you do not have a computer at home, you don't want others to look over your shoulders and see that you are on a site containing "Post Orgasmic Illness Syndrome" in its title, and often refer to orgasm and ejaculation.

The first thing I would suggest you is to try browsing the forum with another browser than Chrome.  For example, there are 6 alternate browser for Android listed here: http://www.howtogeek.com/110243/6-great-alternative-browsers-for-your-android-device/ 


I would go for sure for Firefox ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozilla.firefox ), first because it is the browser I have been using on all my computers and devices for years, and is safe, and confidential, and have tons of parameters you can configure to your liking.   And you also have, for the mobile version,  thousands of useful add-ons made by smart users. And If Firefox alone do not ease the browsing of the forum, you can try one of the many add-ons that can help you a lot :  https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/android/

Maybe you will find the Firefox Mobile zoom more friendly than the Chrome zoom:

If not, the following add-on seems very useful:  https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/zoom-page/

Let me know if any of this has been useful.

Thanks, will give firefox a go, though I'll probably have to uninstall Chrome since browsers take a lot of space and my phone's memory is limited. Actually, I don't think I've tried Opera Mini yet, so I'll probably give that a go first. Will report back.

Also, can someone please PM me the answer to the question "Which user is Admin" since I have to keep refreshing the page (i.e. clicking Post/Save many times) for the question to change to the b/f one.

Edit: I think I got it.

Edit2: Alright I now know WHICH administrator the question refers to. Pity I had to figure that out through trial and error.
