I can use a browser but it's a bit cumbersome.

It used to be possible to use the Tapatalk app to browse the board; however due to security concerns over the server side of the software it was later removed.

Thanks mate. It's only because all of the text fields don't seem to automatically resize themselves to the screen. First world problems & all that.

It seems odd that the site doesn't display properly. I've got a 5 year old Android phone and I use it to access BCB with the Firefox browser. It gives a nicely adapted view of the site for mobile use.
Have you tried installing a different browser?

It sort of displays okay, I mean, it looks exactly as it does when I look on a desktop machine, just that the fields you type in & the line lengths generally are not fitted to the screen so I have to pinch to zoom out a bit (at which point it usually snaps to the view I want) or drag it around to read along the lines.
But no, everything I use is in Safari & I'm quite happy keeping it that way for the foreseeable.

Ah. Firefox on Android adapts for my phone so I don't need to pinch and zoom or slide shit around just to see it. It just works.
