We NEED a Mobile version of TGTT.

Im absolutely gutted to say that as a massive (mental) supporter of TGTT i no longer find the site very useful.

firing up a desktop to ask a question is no longer how its done.


I only voice these concerns as i really believe without a mobile site we stand no chance whatsoever of ever coming back to the fore.

Whilst we NEED a mobile site im not saying we must get one, i don't know the difficulties or costs involved.

but what i am suggesting is that it may even be too late, people will visit this site once and never return so we may have already lost 50-99% of our return traffic.

a mobile version would definitely help us ramp things up even a touch, with all the current members finding the site easy to access/use and retain some of the passing traffic

maybe we could even start hitting 10/20 posts a day? (that's only one average thread in the old days ie a 5minute chat)

I know that there will be folks who say this place will never die, etc and they may well be right in the most technical sense.

but based on what we are currently witnessing (with difficultly and much fiddling on my phone) is that the place is virtually dead already.


So to the people in the know regarding costs or difficulties... make a move.

Long live TGTT.

Where the flip is dylan.

We could do a case study on Jays garage -

sometimes things need refreshed and upgraded to allow them to continue in the upward trend they deserve

PS Karl Scullion has already offered to help with the technical stuff for free so money cant really be an issue there and Karl is local and well known so we are not putting the site in the hands of some total stranger.

I'm up for this. A couple of evenings work and it should be updated and there shouldn't be any need for any down time either.

I browse this site once every few weeks purely because it's a nightmare to browse any more frequently where as I'm on other forums 10/15 times a day because it's handy.

I've made Dylan aware of this thread and he's going to look into it next week. I know this has been bugging Philbert for quite a while now.

Looking forward to any improvements the team can provide.

Is the problem not with your phone Phil ?



I think the problem is that there is no mobile version of the site but I appreciate that obviously you guys aren't dealing with this mess lol my iPhone is failing me lol

Though It sounds like other people have phones that work better with the current desktop format.
