It's often reported that the Default font size makes for hard reading on mobile devices when set at 'size 2' (font size 10).

Size 2 displays best on desktop PC's and laptops but is too small when viewed n phone browsers.

Removing the font size and setting it to 'none(blank)' in admin_config_colors.asp allows the user's browser to set the font size according to it's default setting which makes for better reading on mobile devices however sets the font size too large on desktop PC's and laptops

Is it possible to add some code that sets the font size according to what the user is viewing the forum with?

Ie code detects desktop PC/laptop and displays fonts size as 'size 2'
Code detects a mobile browser so sets font size as 'none (blank)' ?

And if so could someone show me how/

Thanks

Yes it should be possible, but not that simple. It is not something I have done before so will see if I can come up with anything for you.

I've got it working as such using Regex...

Placed in inc_header.asp

after ...
if Application(strCookieURL & "down") then
   if not Instr(strScriptName,"admin_") > 0 then
      Response.redirect("down.asp")
   end if
end if


insert:
Set Regex = New RegExp
With Regex
   .Pattern = "(Android|Avantgo|Bada|BlackBerry|Blazer|Compal|Dolfin|Dolphin|Elaine|en-ph|Fennec|Hiptop|(hpw|web)OS|iP(hone|od|ad)|Iris|Kindle|LGE|Maemo|midp|Minimo|mmp|Mobile|NetFront|Opera M(obi|ini)|Palm|pda|Plucker|Pocket|PSP|Samsung|Silk-Accelerated|Skyfire|smartphone|symbian|Treo|up.browser|up.link|Vodafone|wap|windows ce|XDA|Xiino|Zune)"
   .IgnoreCase = True
   .Global = True
End With
If Regex.Test(Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_USER_AGENT")) Then
   strDefaultFontSize = "6"
End If
If Regex.Test(Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_USER_AGENT")) Then
   strFooterFontSize = "5"
End If


This increases the size of the text at the top of the forum (menu), the date info on posts, and also the titles and post content

It's still in the testing stages though so any feedback would be appreciated

That should do it Webbo, I used similar code here to redirect mobile users to the mvc version

dim u,b,v
set u=Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_USER_AGENT")
set b=new RegExp
set v=new RegExp

It did work of sorts but then caused issues with some browsers not recognising the font sizes and defaulting to large, also it tended to cram everything over the left side of the browser window for some reason

More work required as and when I get the time
