iPhone access only...

Currently I don't have access to internet at my house so I can only access this site via my iPhone. I'm just wondering if this is even possible to do so. I just joined today and saw the tools for character creation sheet and that is a pain to deal with on my phone. Does anyone else only use their smart phone?

there are a couple people who use their phones a LOT, but I am not sure about exclusively.

I use mine to check things, and make an occasional, simple OOC post, but I could not imagine making a full game post with it, let alone across 8 games. Ugh... the code writing alone would drive me crazy, and I am not even sure my phone has brackets, for example...

Doing a PC sheet? No idea how you would do that on a phone.

Maybe you can get to a library with some public access at times? You can do the hard stuff there, and keep up with the phone between?

Well, I should have full internet access in about two months (hopefully) so this will just have to make do until then. Plus, I don't plan on joining a game until after my solo game. Which will give me an idea how difficult it would be to only use my phone. I was playing around with the character creator tool and surprisingly it allowed me to write out the stats. Usually iPhones limit you with that kind of stuff.

There are users who post exclusively from mobile devices. I know of at least one. As an occasional mobile user myself, some tips:
  • If you have a favorite mobile text editing program that saves to internal memory or the cloud, compose large posts in that, then paste over, if possible. That'll save you a lot of grief from your web browser.
  • Bluetooth keyboards are beautiful and often inexpensive things.
  • Sheets work decently in most mobile browsers - I used to use RPGX sheets in an in-person game from my tablet. Just remember to save often.
  • Pick a forum skin with minimal fluff and no built-in images, if you can't use the mobile skin (which I think is CS only).

Thanks! And the Bluetooth keyboard is a pretty good idea!

I'm mobile only (but I'm on a tablet and if I really needed to I could get on my computer) and if you have the keyboard it's not to much of a problem, other than the colors which are in a drop down list.

You can always type out the color, either as a color name (DarkRed) or as a hexadecimal string (#663311) if the dropdowns give you trouble. Just pick any color and overwrite the color parameter.

I know I personally rarely use the buttons no matter what platform I'm on... [color=YourColor]Colored Text[/color] is not that terrible to type on most physical keyboards and even on some on-screen keyboards.

The only problem is that I have yet to find a list of the colors, otherwise I would do that.

That's true. Color names are a little tricky to remember.

But hexadecimal color codes are universal - all you have to do is learn the system. Never memorize an esoteric color name again!

Like this is 32FFFF, and this is 000000 (black), and this is FF1199. Or what about F0F0F0?
What can't I get FFFFFF or anything beginning with F for each color to work?

You got #F0F0F0 to work. The thing is, those are all going to be very close to white.

[EDIT]: Note that in some forum skins the default text color is not black.

I don't seem to have a problem with the colors while using the drop down box.

Do you use a kindle? Because the box appears for about half a second, and then disappears before you can tap anything (but the auto color black works so you can change it to other colors like purple).
