CityCyclingEdinburgh was launched on the 27th of October 2009 as "an experiment".
IT’S TRUE!
CCE is 15years old!
Well done to ALL posters
It soon became useful and entertaining. There are regular posters, people who add useful info occasionally and plenty more who drop by to watch. That's fine. If you want to add news/comments it's easy to register and become a member.
RULES No personal insults. No swearing.
resolvedThe problem is that this specific theme wasn't written with mobile compatibility in mind, so mobile browsers have to render it 'like desktop', which means unpredictable and often undesirable results. Fixed width columns and small text aren't bueno.
A day or two of work from a CSS wizard would likely be enough to fix it up to a 'modern' standard without changing the appearance much.
CCG is actually using nodebb rather than discourse. It certainly renders very nicely on all the devices we've tested it again although, as chdot rightly points out, content and active users beats swish software!
CCE on android is bearable. Double-tap to centre on text normally does most of the legwork. Tend not to reply much when away from the desktop, mind.
"It certainly renders very nicely on all the devices we've tested it again"
Indeed -
I don't have any grumbles with the way CCE works (especially given that it is run and hosted at zero cost to its members), but CCG certainly looks smashing on my Nexus 5X (android).
That being said, we didn't try and migrate any content from old CCG (we just parked it in /archive), which we could get away with given the small size of the forum.
CCE is miles more mature, so can't just pick the glossiest-looking software in the same way...
"CCE is miles more mature"
Some of its members too (perhaps).
Old, possibly. Mature? Not necessarily.
