Edit: Can We Please Get The Mobile Version Of The Forums Back?

Heromofo

Edit: Dont know how long this problem will persist but you can get around it. To do this just skip to general discussion or other sub forum. If you dont you may get stuck on this screen seems to be a problem with the forums atm.

Will update if this changes

I have tried everything
From resetting my phone
Uninstalled my browser and back
Multiple different ways to get into it
It does seem to work in the full site but mobile does not
Let you do anything and all you have is this

Works perfectly for me. I only use "Recent". That works flawlessly. Made a shortcut on home screen. Using chrome mobile though. Try another browser maybe?

Firefox also works fine. For me at least on S5 with CyanogenMod 12

Shunravi

Yes.

I use the 'request desktop site' option on my mobile browser. The mobile version is bad.

xMovingTarget

Never mind. Just went to "Home". I think its a forum problem.

On my tablet, I do that too. But on my phone its too small..

I am too lazy to zoom around and mobile version works fine too. Just no sigs.

Certain device uses have been griping about this for a while. I uses and Amazon phone and forums look terrible on it, but it is just an android os.

We have disabled the forum's mobile theme, so now all devices use the desktop version. This should resolve the issues that cropped up this morning, and actually provides better navigation and feature support.

If anyone continues to have problems, please let us know, and also include the device you are using.

The text on the desktop is too small and the format too wide for a phone held vertically. Why I was still using the moble version with the recent discussions bookmarked. Also liked how it still mark posts you've viewed when there were new posts.

Not to sound rude, but OP, did you go into "Full Site?" Because that changes it to the "normal" formatting, etc.

Not rude at all bud but you see the mobile forum has suffered problems atm seems to of started today.
So what they have now done is taken mobile version offline until it can be fixed lol.
Unfortunately it seems to be because the main screen version reverts back to what it is ib my pic.
The problem is nothing can be clicked on lol soooo just waiting on them to fix it.

WTF!? That is a complete lie. the desktop version of the site on a mobile device does not provide better navigation in any way shape or form. The text is minuscully small and forces you to constantly resize screen elements just to be able to read and reply to posts.

The main page for mobile has been broken for about half a year, anyone at ZOS would have known about this if they took out their phone for 2 minutes to go on the forums, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised it took this long. That said the moble site itself still functions, we get around it by bookmarking the forum pages. Forcing us to use the full site on our phones and calling it not only a resolution to the problem but an improvement as well is asinine beyond belief.

There's a reason websites have mobile versions: so people can navigate them with ease on mobile devices.

I also like the mobile one better on my phone. I hate aide scrolling. But now I have too. The fonts are too small with the desktop version on phone. With this its too much zoom in and zoom out.
I hope you going to fix the mobile version.

Never liked the mobile version, always used the full site. Very happy about not having to manually switch to full site in the future

ZOS? Come on. Enable mobile. This is HORRIBLE. This site is basically unusable now from my phone-when an hour ago it was perfectly FINE.

We don't have an update at this time, but we do appreciate the feedback, and we're keeping an eye on this thread.
