It seems that in trying to work on a better mobile site and limited but Xenforo mobile compatibility - viewing a site in landscape Mode brings up full details - where as Portrait Mode Hides them.

EG
Landscape

Portrait

Please could any Mobile users (Android, Apple) confirm this?

Many Thanks

Mine shows the same in both landscape and portrait, with details hidden. I'm using a fairly old Android phone.
Work really nicely though, I have no problems navigating the site the way it's setup.

Mine looks the same (limited details) in both landscape and portrait view. Android and Chrome browser, sadly I don't know the specs of my phone.
 
Thank you all for the information - if you feel there is anything I can do to make any area clearer, then please let me know.
 
Seems OK to me on the phone.

You can see it happening on a desktop browser by resizing the window (or using device/responsive view in the browser's dev tools). It seems 610 width is the breakpoint causing this behavior. Devices that have a higher width resolution won't hide the details.

This is sort of a template issue, however more a Xenforo limitation as they don't fully support a mobile format.

However the I have toyed with older style boards in the past, coding them to , hmm how do i put this lol, have two parts, the standard and a class for mobile only, but it becomes complicated. I did think about it, but trust me, one coding error and i have turned the board yellow, made words the size of a giant, simply by missing out a " / ". (Bad GA, BAD BAD GA)

I think the answer is to buy a new phone and use it in landscape mode.

Because the Description section of the Temple only seems to cover basic HTML and CSS formatting, I even toyed with fitting in seperate text activated by 320px


Examples:
<div class="mobileShow">
TEXT OR IMAGE FOR MOBILE HERE
</div>

<style type="text/css">
.mobileShow { display: none;}

/* Smartphone Portrait and Landscape */
@media only screen
and (min-device-width : 320px)
and (max-device-width : 480px){
.mobileShow {display: inline;}
}
</style>

Funny enough the description area didn't like this at all, maybe I coded it slightly wrong, I am a dinosaur and forgotton so much.
