SermonIndex Mobile site (beta)

sermonindex May 19, 2016

Dear saints,

A brother has been helping to get the SermonIndex site mobile friendly. So on an ipad and iphone and mobile phones the site should be showing more clearly an easier to read. This is part of also getting the site ranked back onto google and other search engines for mobile device searches. They will only rank sites that are "mobile friendly".

Please share any issues or how it looks for you. I am especially interested how it looks on ipad or other tablets.

even putting a link to a screenshot could be helpful.

Hey Greg,
Yes, it looks typically "Mobile" on an IOS device. It was done well. Hey, I may be the 1 in 100 guy exception, but I actually don't like/prefer "Mobile Format". When I normally go to other sites & it forces me into "Mobile Mode", I instantly look for the "Full Site" tab at the bottom to navigate the full site normally. I don't see that option anywhere? How can I get back to the standard "Full Site" mode on my IPhone so I can use my Safari browser just as if I was on my MacBook/Laptop?
Thanks,
Jeff

brother,

almost everything is the same except the left hand column is taken out of the mobile site and the top right links in the header of the site. Other then that everything is still there. If there are any critiques of how to make it better please let me know.

We still have to test this on an ipad, it would be wonderful to see a few screenshots of the site in mobile mode on the ipad.

"I instantly look for the "Full Site" tab at the bottom to navigate the full site normally. I don't see that option anywhere?"

We will look into if this is possible.

Greg like the new format since I use a mobile device. But after one post. How do you get back to the board. I wind up having to close out the app. And then come back on again. Is there a way to get back to the front discussion page?

It seems like after I post. I have to close out the app. And then come back into SI to get back to the board.

brother,

Are you able to take a screenshot of what happens after you post? It worked well for my wife just like on the desktop? Are you using a special internet browser?

Bro. Greg check your gmail. I sent you an iPad screenshot.

Greg don't know how to do a screenshot on an Android. I am using Chrome as my internet browser. Blaine

I can post all right. And I can get to the discussion page. But it's after I post I cannot get back to the homepage. What I have to do is leave the website and reenter again to get back to the home page after I post.

Hope this makes sense.

Brother Blaine,

Not sure if this will work for you but after posting, the way I go back to the home page is by clicking on the SermonIndex logo/banner at the top.

Blessings!

Sister I will try it the next time I post. Thank you very much.

sermonindex May 19, 2016

Brandi I just did it and it got me back to the homepage. Thank you very much sister.

For those of you who post. And want to get back to the sermon index homepage. Do as our sister Brandy suggested to me. After you post. Click on the sermon index Banner. It takes you back to the homepage in the board.

Worked fine for me

No super big deal (& not trying to be critical) - FYI.

Just personal preference. 😊

God Bless!

Saints,

Please report any issues with the mobile site view. Some things shared so far:

- Some discussion forums show stretched (I believe when there is a high reply value)
- speakers such as George Verwer, Leonard Ravenhill show streched because of many pages of sermons, (need to change menu).
- By Topics, need to be added as a link to the mobile version.

Sister the the only issue I've encountered so far is the expanded borders on an initial threat I started.
