Good morning, Whoops,

I hope you are off to a great start this Sunday, and you have asked a great question, too.

We are posting content in what is called a Responsive Theme. A Response Theme senses both the device and in most instances the orientation of the screen of the device to auto-size and auto-scale the content to the boundaries we set for each window. This approach, which is more common than fixed or static windows, places more burden on the Forum Member to orient a screen first and then access our Forum.

On my iPhone, here is how your post looks when I turn it “sidewise” (landscape):



As you can tell, there is a much greater use of the screen real estate to review a post, although it is slightly more awkward to type while holding a phone in a landscape orientation. This is ultimately where the Super Nerds who run things on the Internet have landed.

Any other approach we employ will stop the auto-scaling and auto-sizing, which may create an annoying step of Zooming In, Sliding Left, Sliding Right, Zooming out to read and post text.

It is my hope that we can live with the Landscape Orientation for reviewing posts on a phone. I welcome your thoughts.

On occasions, phones can be stubborn and refuse to reorient when it flipped. To force that to happen on an iPhone, please see helpdesk response from Apple:

I hope a hardcore Android user could post a similar link for that kind of phone.

When we have the data ported over in May, I plan to create documentation for how to work in this Forum as well as hold Zoom training sessions to assist Members with annoying stuff that makes their experience less than what I want it to be. More to follow there.
