New Mobile Style

[timg]

I spent the past week or so tweaking and customizing a new mobile style for the forums that makes it a lot more pleasant to use on phones (at least I think so!). Please let me know what you guys think. I have phones automatically going to the new style right now.

If you don't like the mobile style on your phone, there is a "Switch to Desktop View" right in the menu under the search box.

Doesn't look to bad Tim. Thanks for working on it.

Looks good on my iPad :thmbup:

Weird, my android tablet shows the desktop site. I think ipads should as well... I'll have to fix the detection.

Signatures are disabled on mobile, some people had some without spaces causing posts to be cut off. I think I can turn on horizontal scrolling if you guys would prefer that?

 

[Miamisms]

Dang! Yes! So much less cluttered! My iPad loves you

It would be nice to still see sigs in some fashion.

Thought it was decent till I accessed a fsot thread and the images were cropped with no way to zoom out. I hate having zoom and scroll locked down. It should be easier to switch back to desktop view. At least you still have the desktop view as an option, I hate being forced to use mobile sites when my phone has a higher res screen than my tv or laptop

Can you link the thread you're talking about Ender?

I can try turning on the scrolling but I know of at least one user that has "xx/xx/xx/xx" type of sig that stretches the page and messes with the layout.

I added a "Switch to Desktop View" link at the bottom of the page for people on phones, etc. that would rather see the Desktop version of the forum.

If you guys have any other feedback please let me know.

This is awesome!

 

[brentjacobs]

Sigs look good, thanks Tim!

I haven't done anything with the sigs yet. Still trying to figure out how to handle that, I'm still tweaking this to see how it goes.

Moved the "Switch to Desktop View" up to the top menu.

 

[brentjacobs]

Hmm, they're showing up on my iPad with the new format.

 

[timg]

That's weird, I actually took the part that shows the signatures out of the posts. Can you do a screenshot?

 

[brentjacobs]

Nope, it just kicked me back to the desktop version when I reloaded the page.

 

[timg]

I turned off the style for iPads... unless you preferred it? I feel like on a tablet the desktop style is better.

Just enabled zooming and horizontal scrolling. I can turn the sigs back on but on occasion they may mess up the page layout.

I like it.
