Question Has anybody try to use kunena forum from the smartphone?

It is not a reason to have software that is not working in some cases, because of THINKING these cases are not used...

We have around 15 websites with about 250,000 posts at all in kunena... At least 30% of our users use forums on smartphones and tablets.

And we have apps, showing our websites, that are very often used by many people. And this is always used on smartphones. And it is bad, if the the forums is not working..

It is ok for many people, clubs and companies to say: This is not working, or this is not working with firefox, please use internet explorer, this is not working in mobile view, etc. etc.. But it is not ok for us.

But it is ok, we bought professional kunena template. Now it is all working correct.

I agree.

We havent updated yet our forum to K 5 due to this problems. But what freaks me out it is that I can't use this official forum from my smartphone because main menu stays fixed on the top and with the keyboard the main content vanishes bellow
I am waiting to update :whistle:

I guess it is a good idea to wait..

For my forums, 70% comes from mobile.
So design and usability should follow the mobile first principle.
I find Kunena 5.x following that guideline (Except for some css glitches) like shown in this post: www.kunena.org/forum/general-user-contri...he-smartphone#183214

Now for the kunena implementation on kunena.org that is a whole different story: the template used on this website is having major usability issues. Main issues are that on mobile the top menu takes half the screen size overwriting everything below it and rendering the Kunena forum useless on mobile.

BUT this being a bad representation of what Kunena has to offer is NOT due to the Kunena component itself but to the used Joomla template (the way Gantry Helium is implemented).

So my advise to the users would be:
1. look at other Kunena 5 implementations for 'inspiration' of what Kunena 5 looks like and what it can do for your community;
2. don't let the Joomla template implementation of the official Kunena forum hold you back

And my advise to the Kunena team would be:
-> Address these usability issues on this forum! this forum should be a showcase for new users and an example for other Kunena implementations

If I can help in any way, please let me know

Funny that this post should be here, I've come here for a very similar reason. For quite a few years now I've had the Tapatalk plug-in installed which enables users who have this application on the smart phone to use my forum from the Tapatalk application. I disabled the plug-in a few weeks ago because somebody told me it can effect AdSense earnings. However, I didn't see any evidence of this so I put it back in place after updating kunena up to 5 so I enabled the Tapatalk plug-in again. One of my regular users then told me that he was getting an error when he's tried to use Tapatalk on the forum. I've checked and I can't find anything wrong. Apart from disabling, and then enabling, I've made no other changes to the plug-in.

I’m using the Blue Eagle template and Kunena 5 on two forums and another in development. It works great on my iPhone 5 + 6

A couple of screenshots below:






The top menus would be more elegant if it were more condensed, but it works great.
