Title: A suggestion for the forum.
Post by: paranoia on February 13, 2013, 08:22:26 PM
Not sure this was discussed before so yeah, I know this is possible so I am going to say it. There should be a mobile version of the website for easier access. This will be extremely beneficial to forum moderators as well. Not that hard to integrate on the website. So yeah...

I was actually having the same thought a couple days ago. I was also thinking of a ZG app but didn't really bother to post it.

Wanted by many players but the truth is Zylon gaming doesn't really have the time to learn the coding for mobile devices and then code it all. It would have to be a player done thing.

Still believe it would be easy to implicate fairly easy. I don't mean a app by the way, Just a mobile version like facebook and google has.

Would still be very difficult. The site uses Php and mobile devices (mobile sites) if I remeber correctly do use PhP. Even if they do they would still have to redesign everything. Don't get me wrong I would love a mobile version of the site, but most likely wont happen at the moment

Look at dudamobile.com
Been trying to click the button for 5 mins and it does nothing. You have to press enter, how confusing. I haven't seen what it does but why haven't you done it yet? Why does it have to be the staff?

They have to place the html code on the website in order for it to work.

All i'm saying is that this could've been done by yourself, the staff doesn't need to do it. If you don't want to do it I gladly do it myself. :D

Post by: paranoia on February 13, 2013, 09:37:54 PM
What I am trying to say is the html code is so that when you type in boutcheetah.zylongaming.com it will automatic direct you to the mobile website instead of typing it seperately.  Feel free to do it your way.  ;D

It does, but the only problem with it for me at least is the scroll. You can't scroll to see peoples names or you have to go side to side to see it all. Idk about  the Iphone 5 but for my ipod its really hard to post.

He's not talking about just looking it up on a browser and having it look like a normal computer website.
He means like in the form of an app.

All Apple products are easy to scroll and everything.

Yeah, but it would be more convenient to have a app.
Also more professional and advertisement.

You can make the site seem just like an app just by adding it to home screen... and it costs $50-100 to make an app (just to put it in the app store) but I understand what you are saying.
Also more professional and advertisement.

maybe he doesnt mean the mere "scrolling on the phone" but scrolling the site and actually being comfortable with it. when i have to post with my ipod it isnt that easy as it seems and often you cant see enough info at the same time.

An Ios/android app would be cool.
Though i don't think ZG understands the Ios coding.

used to forum on my ipod, its a bitch. pretty sure i saw this idea like 6 months ago and was ignored, but a mobile version would be great (not app tho, too much work)

mobile version of the site would be nice, its pretty hard to navigate normally

Post by: -PeaceLover- on February 15, 2013, 01:05:23 AM
This would be nice, like others said.
I wonder why people would disagree though it wouldn't hurt at all to make a app.
It would also help staff productivity even though you can just go on in safari/browser wouldn't it be easier just to click on a app. Like facebook on mobile is way different in the website and safari. Lets make it like that so you could go around easier.

A mobile site is almost complete (not an app, mainly because it cost money). If you would like to see a sneak peek go to my thread on Mobile Site. http://boutcheetah.zylongaming.com/index.php?topic=38608.msg358615#new (http://boutcheetah.zylongaming.com/index.php?topic=38608.msg358615#new)
