Making forum skin mobile-friendly

This one I'm aware of. It's probably a weird bug in the SMF CSS, couldn't find a fix for it. :/

But yeah the bugs aren't exactly top priority so I didn't make any time to look at them yet.

(I'm aware of one or two others as well that I'm too lazy to fix).

You can try opacity: .999; it's been known to work as an alternative to z-index.

Oh I'll keep that in mind thanks.

Ah I didn't know about that opacity trick. I wasn't sure if the bug could be fixed via z-index so I was gonna suggest that, but if it can't be fixed that way, then disregard that, I guess.

I tried z-index but iirc it either didnt work or broke something else (it already uses z-index btw).

Yeah there are like 10 layers around that part of the page. I had serious issues myself with the navigation. It's because the navigation isn't intended to be placed there. Using a completely custom PHP template would fix it, but might cause issues when upgrading and might be too much effort for a forum skin that's not going to be SMF 2.1 compatible, let alone with 3.0.

If I can figure it out I'll fix it, otherwise it's not very important.

Indeed. By the way, have you gotten any luck with the member list?

novenary · June 05, 2015, 07:38:45 AM

Haven't tried.

Update: I just made the navbar a lot more usable for mobile users.

If you don't get the changes right away, try reloading the page a few times.

It's indeed way better

Thanks, Street

Hehe, wasn't hard. I just disabled links and changed the z-index of the dropdown.

CKH4 · August 22, 2015, 10:42:19 AM

That is indeed much better, if you could make the link work the second time you click it that would be awesome.

I'd use JS to add onclick="return false" unless hover because I think that disables the redirect.

Disabling the links broke my habit but it's better than the original behaviour. Thanks.

It's actually doable in pure CSS, let me try.
Meh, doesn't work.
