Did they break the mobile forums?

RylukShouja · May 2014

The new layout seems to be broken. When I go to the home screen there are no options other than to click "English" at the bottom of the screen, which takes me to the same page.

Anyone else having this issue? Note this is the mobile version only, the full version is fine for me.

EDIT: if anyone has a workaround/fix that would be appreciated; I find it easier to navigate the mobile forums than the full version.

Yes, it just changed for me a little while ago, too. Happened on another occasion -- maybe 1 - 2 weeks ago, but they quickly changed it back. The new format seems 'prettier', but less functional. Hope they fix it again...

I was wondering if something was wrong as well. I can no longer view the developer tracker on the mobile version.

Hey there, everyone. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We're currently investigating the problem.

Also the recent discussions list doesn't show the time of the most recent comment anymore...way lame.

ZOS_JasonI · May 2014

Thanks for the update, guys. Earlier today, we implemented a new mobile theme for our forums. To help identify the problems you're encountering, can you let us know what type of mobile device you're using?

I'm not having problems, it just isn't as functional and seems to run a little laggy. I use an htc one (the m7 from last year). Thanks.

Always hated the mobile version, never lets me post. I click or spam "Post" but nothing ever happens. I choose the Full Site option from my mobile and everything is back to normal.

Always had this problem on iPhone 4s...I always had to click Full Site at the bottom to be able to post. If I clicked post on mobile version it would only save it as a draft.

It's broken on my mobile

Their brand template is removed too. Most of the time I see the plain blue and white vanillaforum ui.

It is a complete pain to use. Instead of just clicking a couple of links to get where I need to be I have to use a search system that only brings up most recent posts and is giving me threads that have nothing to do with what I am looking for. My phone is a Motorola electrify II.

Seriously though aren't there bigger problems you could be working on fixing? Such the horrible billing problem your having?(which should be your first concern and out is a massive issue for many people myself included) or maybe the horrible lag or bots and broken quests and unanswered or ignored customer service requests. Surely these things should take priority over making a mobile forum prettier or more functional.....

P.S. I know the standard rig amoral that this is just how your billing system works and that prepaid time cards are available and it has been heavily implied that it is MY fault I can't play right now just because you billed me 29.98 for a one month subscription that should only have been 14.99. In fact just today I walked into McDonalds and bought a big Mac for 30.00 because hey why not pay more or twice as much for something that has an advertised price. In a few weeks when my $$$ gets released I'll by a game time card and that won't be an issue anymore.

In the meantime work on real issues not minor issues such as mobile forums. Your customers would probably be a lot happier with you for the effort.

Thank you and have a wonderful day.

I am on an iPhone 5. I never have had issues until today, but with the new forum layout I could not navigate away from the "home" page. I have never had posting issues.

Yakidafi · May 2014

Using lg optimus g

Currentlyviewing in "normal" mode because mobile version not work. Have similar problems as them above

Enkil · May 2014

Are you guys still working on this? I use iPhone 5 and mobile forum is now just blank with language options. I have to click full site to post.

AreoHotah · May 2014

Im on a crappy LG and everything works fine.

Mango995 · May 2014

I have the samsung galaxy s2 i am using the normal browser can not go to main site

Khenarthi · May 2014

I'm on a Samsung Galaxy Note II. I can post and navigate but clicking on Home does not allow me to choose forum section anymore - just to select a language or go to the main site.

Edited to add: selecting a language will change the language of the menus on the blue navigation bar (top of screen), but that's it. To go from Customer Support to New Player Questions I have to go to the main site, or navigate from my own comments in those sections...

Motorola Droid 4, Android version 4.1.2

Giraffon · May 2014

Windows phone - no visible search function in the mobile version. Other stuff seems to work.

pinkempyreal · May 2014

Same for me on Motorola Maxx. I bypass by clicking Best of... then randomly picking a post and using the link at the top of the post to get me to the sub forum that post was posted under. Not completely functional but I hate using full site on my phone and having to adjust display size all the time.

Hi all,

Tonight I tried to access the mobile version of the forum and couldn't locate the forum index page. There was only a message about the patch for tomorrow.

This was on a Samsung mobile.
