The new mobile look

[Bubbleawsome]

It seems to work pretty well. The only technical issues I can see are that the numbers for pages in subscribed threads in UserCP seem to overlap their borders a little bit. Nothing big. The user control panel also seems to not have much functionality, only PMs and subscribed threads, but all mobile versions of vbul seem to have that.

Only other issue I have with it is changing back to the desktop site. I can't seem to find a button or setting for that? The only thing I see is the "default style" button, and that does nothing.

Also, may I ask why the DrPizza notice was signed by jpishgar? Did we not give him the abilities to make notices? Poor guy.

It looks like reddit, which is to say it looks awful, but I think that's what they were going for. The youth like the 'incomprehensible wall of colored text' look, it's sexy.

This looks like ass. Sorry, but it's Horrid.

Is there any way to force the desktop style? Requesting the desktop site doesn't last.

Yea gotta say I don't like it. It feels like a mobile site from the BlackBerry era. While the desktop page was not exactly user-friendly on a mobile device, it was way better than this.

Yeah, I'm not a fan. Prefer the full site.

same it looks like @ss. I thought there was something going on with the site. Things not loading all the way etc..

I use an addon for Firefox that always requests desktop sites. Changing your user agent should work also.

Dr Pizza was quoting the letter signed by the forum's owner's MFIC. Purch bought the Forum, and Joe Pishgar is the Senior Community Manager, i.e., the Boss.

I don't mind the look. (I'd prefer a dark theme)
Touch targets need to be bigger for a mobile friendly site.

I thought we're back in 2005 with the layout but I'm actually loving it. It's not pretty but it's definitely functional.

That looks awful. It seems that I am not your fan!
