Re: smartphone app??
Thanks, Ed. Yes, with so many people on smart phones these days, It's definitely good to re-visit this topic.
PR, if you can create a functional app for Runboard, that would be great. I don't know if it's possible without root access to Runboard, but if it isn't, at least you will have gained a better understanding of how apps work.
In the meantime, it has probably been two or three years since I last tried to 'break' and rearrange tables with pure CSS. Many browsers were able to do it back then, so I'll try again, now that browsers are more advanced.

Re: smartphone app??
Ed - My starting point will be an attempt to create a straight app for Android devices. If the straight app doesn't work it just might open up another idea that I wrote down as "a windowed app."
LG - As you say, even if I fail I still win since I will have learned something I don't already know and that is always a good thing in my mind.
Oh, I saw this over on "Stack Overflow" that looks related to the code you posted earlier:
@media only screen and (min-resolution: 117dpi) and (max-resolution: 119dpi),
only screen and (min-resolution: 131dpi) and (max-resolution: 133dpi),
only screen and (min-resolution: 145dpi) and (max-resolution: 154dpi),
only screen and (min-resolution: 162dpi) and (max-resolution: 164dpi),
only screen and (min-resolution: 169dpi) {
#touch_logo {
display: inherit;
}
#mouse_logo {
display: none;
}
/* Your touch-specific css goes here */
}
@media only screen and (min-resolution: 165dpi) and (max-resolution: 168dpi),
only screen and (min-resolution: 155dpi) and (max-resolution: 160dpi),
only screen and (min-resolution: 134dpi) and (max-resolution: 144dpi),
only screen and (min-resolution: 120dpi) and (max-resolution: 130dpi),
only screen and (max-resolution: 116dpi) {
#touch_logo {
display: none;
}
#mouse_logo {
display: inherit;
}
/* Your click-specific css goes here */
}
@media (min-width: 541px){
/* Big view stuff goes here. */
}
@media (max-width: 540px) and (min-width: 400px){
/* Smaller view stuff goes here. */
}
@media (max-width: 399px){
/* Stuff for really small views goes here. */
}[/i

Re: smartphone app??
I don't know why anyone would need to check for so many different resolutions, but checking for higher resolutions could be handy for substituting low-res graphics with higher-res graphics. I think I would rather use SVG whenever possible, though, because it scales to any resolution.

Re: smartphone app??
I just bookmarked my profile page on the Runboard.....com system...on my smart phone, even put an icon on my phone. And go there, then Misc. and pick which board I want to visit from my bookmarked ones...I do have to sign in every time...depending on if I have already visited with my PC or just my phone.

Re: smartphone app??
Unfortunately, the boards themselves are hard to read in phones unless you zoom in, but then you have to go back and forth. This board isn't quite as bad as others, because two or three years ago, I added CSS that's similar to what I posted in this thread.

Re: smartphone app??
I am thinking of trying the CSS minifying code approach as a separate project while working on the app idea. That gives me something positive to do when I get frustrated (and I know I will) on the app coding...

I agree, this is not bad at all! I even see the smilies..
FB is harder by a long shot!

Re: smartphone app??
FB is confusing because there is no easy index to even know where you have posted!
But that is a whole different topic.

Re: smartphone app??
I am thinking of hiding the "topics" and "posts" columns in my "board minifyed CSS" project.
I am also looking for some way to have a "recent posts" graphic to show when a forum has posts that are less than 8 days old in it (no clue how to do that yet but I put it on my list of things to see about doing).

Re: smartphone app??
Actually, there is a place on FB where you can see your recent activity there. Click on the little down arrow at the top of the page, all the way to the right, then click on 'Activity Log'.
One thing that really annoys me about FB is how it will notify you that a friend made a comment, and it will give you a link to the topic, but it won't take you directly to their comment. I don't know why they set it up this way. I am able to link to a specific comment, so why can't FB's developers?
Another thing that annoys me is that they have an app for the public stuff, another app for their instant messenger, and another app for page admins to see and respond to private messages that are sent to the page. Recently, I was checking FB on my iPad while on break at work, and saw that someone had sent a message to the official Runboard page, but when I tried to read it, I got a popup that said I needed to download an app that was ranked two out of five stars. Good thing I could still look and respond in Safari.
