content: works good on all my tested devices (xoom, sony xperia u, htc one x, htc one, droid 4) but not on my nokia n900, probably just a useragent issue on that though.

content: At the bottom of the Mobile page, there is a nice big button "Go to the full site". That is great.However, it took me some time to get back to the mobile site again on my mobile phone. I was stuck with the full site forum. I finally found that by clicking on the very tiny word "mobile" at the very bottom of the page, you could get back to the mobile web pages. I do not know any other way.Perhaps a big button "Go to mobile site" on the full site page could be added to make it more obvious?I was going to complain that the "Unread Posts" was going to the first page of the thread instead of the last when you click on the thread name, but then I realized that when you click on the arrow after the thread name, you go to the recent post. So I am happy with that.Overall, it looks very good.

content: I like the look of the new theme, makes it way easier to read the forums without flipping my phone on it's side. One thing I dislike, though, is the browsing experience. You absolutely must use the top webpage back button to go back, because if you don't, when the thing opens the next topic, it spins a little delay icon and kicks you back to your previous page. Very irritating.

content: Quote from: amspire on April 20, 2013, 02:11:49 pmSorry to necropost but this suggestion needs consideration or at least make the text at the bottom of the page against the background actually readable.I changed to desktop view on one of my tablets and have spent the last two days trying different search terms to work out how to change back to the mobile version. Thank God I came across this thread or I would have never seen the reference to mobile at the bottom of the page.

content: Very nice - I like it.You can get toUnread Posts, PM's, Updated Topics, Recent Postsand others by using the navigation button at the top right.I can't find any option to use the newThanksfunction though (you do haveReply, Report to moderator, Quote).You also can't see country of poster -not important, I just find it interesting to see the different flags (increasing my flag knowledge) and how widespread this forum is used around the world!
