This isn't going to lead onto anything like our own forum apps or anything like that. I am just curious on how many users actually visit the forum via a portable device and if they do, which option do they use to browser and use the forum on such devices.



Mobile Phones / Smart Phones
Tablets


If you could vote in the poll so I can see the amount of people who just use the site itself via one of the skins or use one of the applications available on many devices.

Poll Options Explained:


Full Site Skin - This basically means one of the normal skins you would normally use if you were on your computer.

Mobile Skin - The mobile skin that is avaiable to you which is made by vBulletin

Tapatalk - Phone/Tablet App

Forum Runner - Phone/Tablet App

None of them - You don't visit the forum via a portable device.

Oh I just voted for mobile skin but I sometimes use Forum Runner, it depended which phone I was using, and the fact I didn't know that when it said there were apps available for Habbox Forum (Tapatalk/Forum Runner) we didn't actually have to download one lmao :P.

Oh I have a smartphone I just don't use it for Habbox I don't see the point when the only time I want to use the forum is when I actually have time to sit down and get into it :P

I guess its mainly for the addicts with no lives who have nothing better to do than browse the forum during their lunch break at work etc :'(

Blame vBulletin for not making suitable mobile skins.

Crappy mobile skin on my phone even though I loved the old one, my phone can't handle loading the full site

The thing is this is actually true, to even use Habboxforum on a mobile device is ridiculous.

well that's a bit harsh, what about when you're not on your laptop because it's broken or it's overheated or you bought a tablet so you don't always have to lug your laptop around everywhere or the internet is down and you have 3G.... there's so many reasons other than being addicted, which I guess is what a lot of people do do, but it's not ridiculous when there's tons of genuine reasons.

make an appppppppppp or something because the mobile skin is pretty hard to use because its long and stuff and you cant even rep

GoldenMerc
17-01-2013, 02:15 PM
Don't think you can rep, you def cant view or reply to vms on tapatalk which is a shame. Its so much work for a app, altho i'd pay a couple of quid for a app, So if 100x done that, thats £200. Could get a nice looking app for that ;) sort of an investment.

Never tried to rep via a mobile device so I wouldn't know. An app made by Habbox wouldn't be ideal as we would want one that is cross-platform.

I use the full skin (Dojo :P) when on my iPad, and if on my iPhone I'll use the mobile skin - but rarely use the mobile skin, only if I reallyy can't get on my iPad and need to get on the forum asap :P.

I didn't know putting a skin back on the forum that is broken is classed as me being grumpy but fair enough.

judging by your poll results you probably should make it a priority

The poll doesn't mean anything, I did state that in the first post. Just because a lot of people use the full skin on their mobile phone doesn't mean they are demanding for the very old and broken skin to be brought back. Faster internet and more capable smart phones with decent browsers such as Google Chrome make it able to be able to use full website versions of forums and so on without having to use a "Mobile Style".

Other parts of Habbox are more priority. It isn't like Habbox is without any mobile phone options, there is a skin that you don't like and there is apps available to make it easy for users to browse and use a phone across various of devices.
