We have added the mobile style sheet to the forum. If you hit the forum from a mobile device, the experience should now be quite a bit different. Let me know if you see issues.

Brad!

You guys yelled and screamed for years for a mobile style to this site. It is there now and nobody has comments? Really?

You guys are awfully quiet.....

Brad!

No offense, but that's the problem. It took years to get done. Halfway through 2015 we're adding technology that went mainstream in 2008.

It was more like 2009 that mobilized sites went mainstream....
I hear you.


It would still be interesting to hear any feedback.

I've just tried it with my Samsung (Android)...
During some minutes I tried to find out the "New posts" item. I failed ...
Then I tried to get back to the "classic" style. It was also hard enough: I had to scroll to the bottom, then click somewhere on the screen to let the small ads disappear. Only after these manipulations I made the forum interface more or less usable!
Unfortunately these "usable interface" and a "mobile" style appeared to be incompatible for me.

One of the issues I've just asked to have fixed is that it isn't clear how to login to the mobile interface. I've asked that a link be added to the text box that is displayed to get to the login screen. This will then make it easier to find the new post button.

Hopefully this fix happens today.

Brad!

Please add a link in mobile to 'settings'. Frequently I like to view the posts that I've responded to and mobile doesn't have a link to settings (well, maybe it's there but I couldn't find it).

Look ma..no keyboard.

EDIT From my pc: I didn't have a problem logging in with my S5... I saw a button that had a series of dots that looked like a Plus sign-> +

Next to it is another button that when pressed brings up a vBulletin Menu where I found the "what's new link."

All was well for me.

If 'what's new' is equivalent to the full site's "New Posts" link, I'm looking for a way to access posts I've responded to that have been updated. I currently access this list by clicking on 'settings'. Those shows me the update posts I've responded to, but not all new posts.

Just an excerpt from Wikipedia's History_of_the_Internet.

The cross-over occurred in 2008, when more Internet access devices were mobile phones than personal computers. In many parts of the developing world, the ratio is as much as 10 mobile phone users to one PC user.

It would still be interesting to hear any feedback.

As for feedback.

• I'm confused byt the old light's out game style + and - buttons at the top. They visually don't make me understand what their purpose is.
• A way to get to my subscriptions? Not seeing it. Maybe I'm just blind.
• What does the 3x3 block icon next to the yellow start button do? I see it change thread icons to check boxes. Anything else?
• Any close button for the ads on the bottom coming?

Have you tried this from a mobile phone? If you can access the settings menu from a mobile phone, please share how.
