      Re: Mobile Skin for AL - Working on a new one, tell me what you think so far

      It seems to be working fine for me at the moment but I'm using wifi so I can't comment on speed.

      Chat only seems to force load on the index page.

      Edit

      Although it might benefit from having most of the top options removed or made simple as apart from a few things it is very much like the desktop site.

      The smallness of each of the pages was enough to give me a migraine, so... bleh. Also, will the other skins be made mobile so I don't have to select Dusty Momentum [no chat] when I go to every page? =o

      And also, everything is too spread out and my phone wants to display it all, so everything is tiny
      i have zoom in on each page. Perhaps reducing the page width by making the logo and table widths smaller would help. And less width also means less to display, increases speed on less powerful devices.

      Enxactly this, it is like the web page, so everything is really small and i have to zoom in on each page. But blu AL skin is the default one when i'm on my phone so i do not have any problems with chat and stuff. i have an iphone, if it's relevant...

      Re: Mobile Skin for AL - Working on a new one, tell me what you think so far

      Everything is super tiny on my phone and I have to zoom in on every page and turn my phone horizontally just to read posts and I still have to scroll across to read them. Personally I preferred the old version as it allowed me to skip to the desktop if I needed to see who was online and whilst I appreciate that this version lets me do more, it's a pain having to increase the size of the site just to read things.

      It works but I hate it I actually liked the old one, it was simple and did what I needed it to - show me threads

      The avatars and other stuff take for ever to load and use up more of my internet allowance to load. Issues with size as I have to zoom in every time I change page. Also the blue background is all fuzzy on my phone as my phone doesn't like to handle large graphics.

      Like everyone else is saying: page size is small and since there's more to load it's a lot slower. Other than that, it's working.

      Re: Mobile Skin for AL - Working on a new one, tell me what you think so far

      Also, when I was checking my messages this morning, the whole shrinking thing was way more noticeable. With all the sidebar things taking up space when I tried to view the message, a three-sentence PM turned into something that required a bunch of scrolling and loading and scrolling before I could see what was going on.
      I loved you. You made me Hate me. You gave me hate, see? It saved me, and these tears are deadly. You feel that? I rip back, every time you tried to steal that. You feel bad? You feel sad? "I'm sorry"? Hell no, fuck that! It was my heart, it was my life, it was my start, it was your knife. This strife, it dies. This life and these lies. And these lungs, have sung, this song, for too long, and it`s true, I hurt too - Remember? I loved you. I've lost it all, fell today, it's all the same. I'm sorry - oh. I'm sorry, no. I've been abused, I feel so used, because of you. I'm sorry - oh. I'm sorry, no. I wish I could have quit you, I wish I never missed you, and told you that I loved you, every time I fucked you. The future that we both drew, and all the shit we've been through...Obsessed with the thought of you, the pain just grew and grew. How could you do this to me? Look at what I made for you. It never was enough, and the world is what I gave to you. I used to be love struck, now I'm just fucked up, pull up my sleeves and see the pattern of my cuts. Seems like all we had is over now, you left to rest...And your tears are dried up now, you just lay without a sound. Seems like all we had is over now, you left to rest...and my fears are over now, I can leave with my head down.

      Re: Mobile Skin for AL - Working on a new one, tell me what you think so far

      Is there anyway to do what other mobile sites do and have a feature where it defaults to the mobile version and then at the bottom of the page it has a link to go to the desktop site. There did used to be one before on the mobile site but it never worked.
      I personally don't like having to zoom in all the time to read stuff, and it doesn't fit neatly in the screen of the window like it did before. So to read a post I have to keep moving the screen from left to right to see who's posted and what they've put.
      Having said that though, sometimes I do need to access the desktop site to do things the mobile site can't handle. So personally I'd vote for having the option of both the old mobile version and this new version. Unless you can figure out a way to streamline the new look.

      Re: Mobile Skin for AL - Working on a new one, tell me what you think so far

      That seems fair, because the old mobile version worked really well on my BB Bold, and loaded like a dream. I mean, I can understand having a mobile version with more stuff on it for people with wifi Ipads or whatever (jealous of yoooou), but my phone just hates the mobile version we have now.

      Re: Mobile Skin for AL - Working on a new one, tell me what you think so far

      Okay, due to feedback received we've decided to suspend work on the current mobile skin and get it working better before releasing it.

      We're also looking into other options too. Hopefully next release will be better.

      I'm always up for offering user-reviews on releases, just give me a heads up, and I'll do my best to break whatever you've made, as all good testers do. :3

      Re: Mobile Skin for AL - Working on a new one, tell me what you think so far

      To be honest, I still stand by what I said AGES ago. Keep the old AL mobile skin as it was simple and easy/quick to load but add a link simplified version of the main desktop site (like the one now testing) so people have a choice depending on their device.
