I'm on Chrome for Android and it's acting totally responsively  :lol:

Good to know that's not everyone's experience.

My bad, my own was set to request desktop site, much better now!

Works OK on my Nexus, but only just. I have to keep the screen vertical, or I have to scroll all the way right to read posts.

"Request desktop site" isn't selected in settings for you Nigel? I am poking at things to see why it might not be responding.

Why would I request desktop site on my phone and tablet?

I was just checking it on various devices to see how it does. It's fine on my desktop (Mac) running Chrome and on my iPhone using Safari, kinda shitty on my 7" Nexus running Chrome.

Some sites serve restricted content in their mobile version, or so dramatically change the interface that it's preferable to ask their desktop site to just scale to your phone rather than use their special mobile one.

Still can't see what I am typing in reply.

In the default it is covered by the edit options.
In chrome there are no such options but the url box covers it, landscape is a bit worse.

I will keep fiddling.

Yeah, I think android landscape replies are generally terrible in the browser. There's just no room for so large a keyboard. Do you find android landscape works elsewhere better?

It's a bit concerning that it's not all fitting into the portrait view, though. Is the site adjusting itself wrong or is there just not much space between the keyboard the address bar?

Salty

Chrome portrait.

I will try it with my bluetooth keyboard.

Ah, okay, so it's ignoring where the address bar is for some reason and aligning with the top of the page. Will keep looking.

Also, Twitter and Github logins should be live now.

How easy was it to implement the social media logins, it's something I've been mulling over for here for a while.

For this application, it was a matter of generating the API keys with the respective services and telling the service what the callback URL was for my site.

In general, it's a pretty smooth process for most systems. There should be info out there about how to do the main logins with SMF?
