Forum Website on Mobile (Nion Rants)

Listen Up!
Let's talk about the forum website
Now, this is probably the only time where I say, "The bigger, the better" (kind of).

You see, the forum page is obviously known for the website to improve your player in the SSL. People posting Articles, Graphics, Player transactions, and so on. 

Now, there was a moment when the forum and the index got hacked for some reason along with tons of other accounts as well, and then the forum and the index got temporarily shut down mid S20 until the second last week of S20 (at least that's what I think).

But that's not the problem I have right now

It surprises absolutely no one that there are in fact websites where it'll show the website the same as your PC/Laptop on your phone.
Because of course the websites are coded on PC/Laptop. What other device is there that's reliable enough for people to code from?

You see, the people that are responsible for creating this website use a software called 'MyBB', and if you don't believe me (in which 95% of users should before reading the next part), just be aware that the software name is on the bottom of this forum right now as you are reading.
This software was used on other Sim Leagues as well.

On PC/Laptop, it looks finished, and, on mobile, it's almost the same besides the screen size.

But here's the problem:
THE ARTICLE MAKER HAS SOME MAJOR GLITCHES, MATE!


1. When I go to my draft and try to write an article, I can't move the screen just by dragging it. I have to go to the white box, type in a character, and the screen will move by itself to the right until it shows the whole white box. Even so, afterwards, I can't move my screen to the left at all, so I can't have access to 'smilies' NSU or the post thread button. 

2. When I go to the top of the white box and I press a format button (for example: Bold), it will not let me press anymore buttons until after a while. I had to copy the whole drafted article, back out of the draft, paste it back in, and if I wasn't done with the formatting, I have to go back to copying the dang article again.

Outcome: Frustration

At the end of the day, this problem can change. It sounds like a devs of MyBB's problem. (No blame goes to the BoD)

How to improve:
On the devs of the software side, I feel like these need a bit more polishing to it, so that I can write articles with my Phone properly without any frustration.

In the meantime, just ask the mobile browser for the desktop version of the site and you're good.
