I guess if its not clear that most people don't want it, and those amenable to change only seem to want a mobile style...
It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes.
Schlang, when qbix ignores a thread do you still need an answer? 😉
And again, why open your forum to security problems of third party software if you can just do a mobile style? Search for tapatalk security to learn more and then when you are informed, do you still think that's a good idea.
well, then please gimme that mobile version style and I promise to be happy 😁

I don't mind the idea of coding a mobile version of VOGONS at all. In fact, I would quite like it, since it can be a little bit bothersome to browse the site on my phone's tiny 320x480 screen. It's just tapatalk I'm not a big fan of.
It's not fun with 720x1280 either, the small display size and the tiny buttons/icons are the problem.
A mobile theme would be great.
I've been using ordinary mobile android browsers (usually Opera Mobile) to view Vogons on my smartphones, and don't face any problems....

No problems here either - iPad, or even iPhone when I get desperate. Vogons is a lot more responsive and easy to navigate than most of the websites I frequent on those devices.
Life? Don't talk to me about life.
my only problem is with the very small orange button that you need to press to get to the latest unread post in a thread
of course it's manageable, but all the zooming and moving is quite annoying

Thankfully I have no clue what tapatalk is, but I'd absolutely welcome an NNTP interface.
Am I the only oldschool here, kids?
While I understand the concerns mentioned here, I personally would find Tapatalk support very useful. All of the other forums I frequent support it. It's far more responsive than my mobile browser (Opera mobile), supports notifications and is actually useable in low bandwidth/marginal signal conditions. The app itself has a well-designed UI, is free of ads (like this forum) and is free to use for both the forum and end users.
so what about a mobile theme?

Vogons should only be accessed with a CRT and mechanical keyboard. LCD is forgivable while you use that to find a CRT.
^^ this
A VOGONS Usenet channel is also a higher priority IMHO
Account retired. Now posting as Errius.
I'd like to see YouTube embedding 😀

If only I had room on my desk for a CRT... 😵

VOGONS is not simply about ancient hardware nuts. Event the name is Very Old Games On New Systems. It was founded to get old games to run on *modern* hardware. Marvin was an afterthought.
Would like a mobile version, it is a bit annoying to click the small icons to get the latest posts and also zoom in and out all the time. I don't care if it's native or tapatalk tbh.
