Adam,

what has happened to the Bootstrap Bazaar plugin that was promised in January at the London UG meeting?

We are and probably others as well are strongly interested to have such a plugin upon that we can build further  and not to have to reinvent the wheel individually.

As you may know, Google is down-ranking websites that are not mobile friendly because in 10 countries, there are now more search queries from mobile devices than from desktop computers (see http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/Google-Mehr-mobile-als-Desktop-Suchabfragen-2635987.html) . They offer also a test tool: https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/mobile-friendly/

Best regards,

Martin

It states that the characters are very small for a mobile phone.

Mobile usability in EPrints has more to do with the template EPrints
is embedded in that EPrints per se.  I've had a look at your site and
it seems fairly responsive (layout changes as the window gets
smaller).  With such a vague message, it's hard to know what to do
with it.

Hi All..

A few days ago I receive messages from google like this:
"We’ve found critical mobile usability issues in pages on
http://idr.iain-antasari.ac.id/. Mobile usability errors can severely
affect the user experience of your site. Pages with mobile usability
issues may be ranked lower in Google search results on mobile
devices. We recommend following Google’s Mobile Usability guidelines
to avoid negatively affecting your site ranking on Google Search".


Please help to resolve the issue. Thanks..
