jess Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 What am I doing wrong plse folks? When I look at fields & results on my mobile - I can't seem to get the website format on my phone that I can access on my desktop. The desktop will tell me the breeding of each runner - my phone doesn't (even when I try to select the desktop format on my phone). Any ideas? Cheers, J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freda Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Not from me....my phone wont even acknowledge the race raceinfo tab, it just sits on ' meetings ' and refuses to bring up individual horses, pedigrees or race performances. I thought it was me but maybe not ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jess Posted October 4, 2019 Author Share Posted October 4, 2019 Thanks Freda. I can get fields up but can't click on a horse and get further info - only trainer, jockey and horse name shows on the screen. Not loving this part of racing .....

jess Posted October 4, 2019 Author Share Posted October 4, 2019 Hi Huey - I have indeed! And it loads something that looks like that initially - but again - once a field is up - I'm back to the very limited info as above. It's as if it sends me round in a circle and I end up back in the same dysfunctional place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandpiper Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 You could try using in landscape orientation & desktop format. Otherwise a different browser might be the best next step. (Try Brave or Firefox imo). Good luck. The website detects your screen size / phone and chooses the 'best' layout to render so ones options are unfortunately limited.

Your phone is defaulting to the mobile version Jess, best answer is to delete the mobile version from your phone and you wont have any issues going forward. I routinely have the same problem.

You should try my website. clipform.net I go by the "if its not broke don't fix it:. Have done nothing to make it mobile friendly. Was told it works perfectly on mobile. Overall the same format for last 20 years. As I said if its not broke....... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I was having a similar problem until I zoomed out. It turned out I was just in too close to see the pop up. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's even 10 times better than the NZ TAB website and app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look what even clipform has for NZ its nowhere near. Its not a question of finding winners its in assimilating the form in the most efficient manner.

Chief Stipe Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 From a punting perspective why would you even bother with NZ Trial Form? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jess Posted October 10, 2019 Author Share Posted October 10, 2019 Punting is only part of it for me - I look at form and breeding. I just want to get the nzracing site on my mobile that I see on my desktop. No drama - I can live without it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will have to expand your view. Bad implementation on their part. The rule on the internet is that no matter what device you are viewing from you see the SAME information.

With a large screen far more information can be fitted on it in one go. Why should PC users be restricted simply because the developer wants the same format on mobile phone. With clipform.net I've tried to keep the information on screen whilst switching to a new page of information. That way the viewer doesn't lose his train of thought. Just because google were finding it harder indexing frames they deprecated frames in html5. Iframes are not as versatile whilst surplanting a previous page with a new page is far slower than using frames. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
