Display and typing problems in Android

Click For Summary
The discussion highlights display and typing issues experienced on Android devices when accessing a forum through Google Chrome. Users report that important content, such as images and forum details, is not fully visible in portrait mode, while landscape mode offers better visibility but has incomplete features. Additionally, the auto-correct function is not operational in the typing box, which is attributed to device settings rather than the website itself. Suggestions include enabling the "Request Desktop Site" option for a better experience, and a design audit is planned to address mobile issues by the end of the year. The community aims to enhance the user experience to establish itself as a leading physics forum.

In android the site doesn't show all content like image related to thread,in forums page the details (no.of views,replies etc), alerts and inbox switch at corner and a lot of things in the portait mode(less convenient than landscape) but shows almost everything in landscape mode and in landscape mode the MYPF expansion is not complete.
Another major problem is in typing that the auto correct feature doesn't work while typing in this box . Please fix these guys.
I want to see this community as the best physics community in the world.

Can you provide some context? Are you talking about PF as shown on an Android app like tapatalk? or in a mobile browser?

I am talking about Google chrome browser on android device sir.
 
Okay so you're getting the mobile version of PF which is a stripped down version to conserve bandwidth and respect what most mobile devices can display.

@Greg Bernhardt could answer this better.

These things are not supported in the mobile view. Since I use PF on Chrome android, I know this. Simply enable "Request Desktop Site" option from the three dots in the top right corner of the page, and you're good to go!

End of the year we're going to do a full design audit. Many mobile issues will be fixed.

This is a feature of your device, not the website. The website doesn't have any auto correction, your operating system should provide that.
