IP address menu from phone?

[becca2000]

Often when we get new members I check if they're already on our site by clicking on the IP and choosing posts or members. At the moment I only have access to a phone and iPad and so when I tap on IP there's no menu, it just brings up the IP address. Is there any way to see this menu or find this info from a mobile device? Thanks.

Hi,

Unfortunately that wouldn't be possible on the mobile view, have you tried using desktop mode?

I am in Desktop mode. There is no way to hit the right arrow to trigger the menu on a touchscreen without hitting IP Address which brings up the box with the IP address.

Hi,

Unfortunately that wouldn't be possible on a mobile device it seems, sorry!

Thanks. I'd like to suggest this gets changed at some point... many people these days only use mobile devices and there shouldn't be menus they can't reach.

Can you achieve what you want if you long press (hold down) with your finger?

I never tried this on ProBoards, but it works for me on other sites with similar menus.

I tried that, yes. No luck.

Hi,

I'll mark this as a feature request (though it's more of a bug fix) but it is extremely unlikely this will get attention anytime in the near or even distant future.

Not trying to shut you down, just wanting to keep expectations realistic.

OK, tried a different mobile browser and was able to make the long press work with just the right "press, hold, glide" motion. Not great, but works ok for the moment.

Thanks for the tip. I've been having the same issue.

Awesome. I'm glad my tip helped a bit. If I find anything better, I'll definitely let you know.
