Is there any chance the mobile version of AVSIM forums could have a couple of additional navigation buttons added? At the moment we can page forward or page back in a topic but there's no way to go to the first page or last page directly. In very long threads this means you have to repeatedly touch page forward or back, and have no indication of what page of the thread you are on. If page loading is slow this can be a long and frustrating process. So a first page and last page button would be very welcome.

+1000 I usually just skip those posts because of it.

This is an automatic message.

 

This topic has been moved from "Letters to the Editorial Staff of AVSIM" to "Help Using the AVSIM Forums". This move has been done for a number of possible reasons.

• The most likely reason is that the post was off topic.
• The topic could also have contained images or a video that were not appropriate to the original forum it was posted in.
• The images might not have been "illustrative" or "explanatory" in nature.
• The topic could have been moved because we deemed it to be more appropriately placed elsewhere.

Please ensure that your posts are "on topic" and contain illustrative images or videos as appropriate. Do not post videos or images just for entertainment purposes anywhere but in the screen shot or video forums. See our image posting rules here.

 

Members who continue to post off topic posts can be denied entry to specific forums in order to reduce and remove the practice. Your cooperation is appreciated.

I'm not asking for help using AVSIM forums, nor am I a new member. So I don't know why it's been moved here. I'm asking AVSIM to enhance the mobile forum if possible now Tapatalk has gone again. That's why I felt "Letters to the Editor" was the most appropriate forum. Still, if I actually get an answer from AVSIM staff here then it doesn't matter where it the thread is.

I see the AVSIM website announced a new mobile AVSIM theme back in April but I haven't noticed any real difference in functionality, compared to before. It's certainly not as user friendly as Tapatalk was. Tapatalk includes first page and last page buttons, for example.

 

Another navigation feature which would be extremely useful is a forum jump selection. At the moment changing forums is a slow and painful process of going up or down one level at a time. If we could select the new forum from a menu tree it would be a single jump process. This applies equally to the full forum theme of course. On a large forum like AVSIM with multiple forums and sub forums, a forum jump menu is essential.

Actually the Hangar Chat forum would be a better place to post your issue. There are a lot of comments like this in the Hangar Chat Forum. You are asking a question about accessing AVSIM Forums with your mobile device. This forum is appropriate too. Letters to the Editor is definitely the wrong forum. Please do not be critical of our volunteers.

 

Tom is doing a lot of work behind the scenes to enhance mobile access. We appreciate the suggestion and hopefully it can be incorporated in future system updates.
