We just pushed out an update that should solve a couple issues:
- The mobile nav should be much easier to scroll now.
- Fonts should be back to their appropriate size.
- The member details dropdown on mobile should no longer cover any post content.
Once again, thanks to everyone for being patient with us. We're still looking through feedback and working on bug fixes and feature improvements.
Using Android Lollipop (unhappily, but using it nonetheless):
Making a non-scalable version of a site and calling it "mobile" does not make it user friendly. Responsive web design is a wonderful thing; in general making multiple, distinct versions of a site is not user friendly. Users expect all of the functionality of the desktop site even on a mobile device.
Disclaimer: I say this as the administrator of a website that is decidedly not mobile friendly and who struggles with this issue himself (link in sig).
SamsungS4 Lolipop same issues. Nonscaleable makes no sense.
Is there a way to revert back to the old format? This new format hurts my eyes and makes it extremely difficult to read and differetiate between posts.

Be a lemming hunter. Don't be a lemming. Really, all you had to do was explain to him the popularity metric, not give him the lemming hunter manifesto...
I unfortunately have no idea how to take a picture on my phone or I would, but I have an iPhone 5c and when I'm attempting to view threads there are times when posts don't show up at all, or it seems that half the post is missing. Other times I can see the whole of a person's post on a thread perfectly. It seems to be random. This only started happening just as you guys made the forum change yesterday. Just thought I'd mention it. If I can figure out how to take a photo on my phone or remember my password to log in onto the forums on my phone I'll take a picture and post it here.
After the site update yesterday, my phone view automatically defaults to a Mobile View setting. I prefer the desktop view, so I figured I would just switch to that. But here is the problem. The menu flashes in briefly from the right side of the screen, but only for a split second. Then it's gone. I cannot bring it up at all. And the phone view settles into some weird, almost Mobile View, but without the ability to adjust the size. Is there something I am missing? I view this site primarily on my phone, and this is quite awkward.
I am using an Android. Also, there is no revert to Mobile view option at the bottom of this page. And no matter what page of a thread I click on, it forces me to the first post of the first page to start with.

Seems like I was late to the party on the member details covering posts. I just checked the site on my phone again and it seems to be working perfectly now. I tested several different forums and about a half dozen threads. Thanks for all the hard work!
The fix to the member details bar is nice, but the menu drop down still does not work. The first few options appear, but scrolling still does not work. That means I still cannot switch back to desktop view.
Android user here. The new layout does not show me what time the most recent post was made. It also only takes me to the first post in a thread and not the most recent.
The layout is also not so friendly, with user names on top and huge buttons for quoting/responding. I am absolutely not a fan of this change. The old layout was fine for me on mobile, this one is much less navigable.
Can't switch back to mobile version. I generally hate mobile versions of websites as a lot of info gets lost that I use, but that's besides the point. I want to get back into mobile mode because I can't zoom in. I double tap things to zoom in, or I try to get a closer view of a card and absolutely nothing happens but zooming out until you can't zoom out any further. That's all that I've noticed or care for for the time being.
Side note: you guys should have these updates -not- during spoiler season.
Not bad. Couple of questions/requests (kinda like hjerk):
1. If possible would like to be able to get to the last page of a forum from the main forum page without having to go into the forum page and then scroll through.
2. Don't know if I missed it, but how do you know if a forum has been updated since the last time you viewed it?
The button for going back into mobile mode is all the way at the bottom of the page, below the Curse banner.
My biggest gripes right now with the mobile site are (using Firefox on Android):
Forum pages should be set up to show thread names, last poster, and jump to latest post. Preferably also links to "page 1, 2, 3...###" like on desktop site. But number of pages and posts is not needed info.
When viewing desktop mode the page has no way to zoom in/out and the page displays bigger than my screen, forcing unnecessary sidescrolling.
I still don't have all my notifications (but this was already brought up in the Staff feedback so I know you're aware of it)
As a side note, on the login screen you are prompted to login with your email, but the actual boxes where you type your info in are labeled 'username' and 'password'.
Everything in this thread is being read, discussed, looked into, etc.
Those who can't zoom in/out in desktop mode:
Clear your cookies.
This should make the site default back into Mobile Mode.
From there, select desktop mode again.
Let me know if this fixes it for you.
If it doesn't, when you load a page, does it look like it switches between mobile/desktop as it loads up?
(Also note, if you're just having trouble getting back to mobile mode: Clear your cookies. This defaults you back into mobile mode)
Mine went back to the unzoomed mode in desktop again. Cleared cookies, worked, then went back to being unable to zoom in/out.
Also the mobile button isn't there for me.
Edit: Also when clicking a page number for a thread it automatically goes to the first page everytime. Also there's a delay with the site loading and registering what link you click. For instance I may hit forums on the top navigational toolbar, but then the site finishes 'loading', everything shifts, then it goes to spoilers liked I clicked it instead. Very annoying.

Look at the very bottom of the page for the Mobile View button.

When I cleared cookies, it let me sign in and switch from mobile view to desktop. There was also a mobile view button at the bottom. I came back a couple of hours later, and it had reverted to its earlier unzoomable state with all of those problems as before, including the missing mobile view button at the bottom.

Same. This is getting really annoying. I'm not going to clear my history and cache everytime I want to come here.
The biggest confusion so far is Zooming in Desktop Mode. If your desktop mode does not have a mobile view button at the bottom or allow you to zoom in - and basically does not work like it used to before this update - you are in a bugged mode. It is kind of halfway between Mobile and Desktop as far as how it interacts, and this is not intentional at all. It's a bug. A fix for this is in active development, and I would expect it to be fixed very soon.
Until that bug gets fixed, there is unfortunately nothing to be done except to clear cookies and stick with mobile or try hitting desktop again.
We apologize greatly for this error.
It was fixed on the development side a good while back, but somehow reverted when the update went live.

I can switch between views but can't zoom. I assume I'm affected by the bug as well? (On the plus side your banner no longer looks messed up)
Hey, first off, thank you to all of the tech staff, I know we all appreciate that you keep the site running and keep trying to make it the best it can be.
I am running into a few issues on mobile though. I am using an iPhone 6 plus running iOS 8.3. I predominantly use the desktop mode out of personal preference of look and being able to see more (on the big screen, you don't really need the mobile site) and have run into three issues.
1) The links to take you to the most recent post of a thread or to take you to your first unseen post only take me to the very first page of a thread now.
2) I can not zoom at all on it. When a page first loads, it is zoomed in about a third but will not allow manual zooming. When I double tap to center the screen with the auto zoom feature, it zooms completely out and then will not allow any form of zooming.
3) The card links and other 'mouse hover' type things like the notifications button no longer work how they used to. They used to work on my phone as the first tap being like hovering the mouse over it, the card image would pop up or the notification drop down menu would open. Now, the notification button immediately links you to the notification page and card links open a new tab with the card detail page.
Again, thanks for everything you all do, its great to have a clean nice looking forum to use and it is one of the big reasons I use this forum over others.
