After some long work by the development staff, we are pleased to announce we have a new mobile look.

Special thanks to Alex (he's posted every now and then) for his help with getting this implemented.  

We are excited to hear your thoughts and feedback.

We will be adding a few more things/tweaks as we move forward but we wanted to get this out there today for your enjoyment.

Thanks,

--The staff

 
Like it at first look. Really like the notifications being in he upper right corner.

Looks solid.

 
BACK TO FORUM button at the top of the pages/threads would be beneficial. Not a gripe, just something I've noticed early on.

 
Also, what about some tools for things like posting Twitter links and other URL codes? Bold/Italics/Underline function would be beneficial as well.

Ideas from someone that uses mobile site far more often than the desktop site. Remember that Apple mobile devices are not Flash enabled.

We already decided to add some basic tools for posting. You will be noticing such changes in upcoming days.

As someone who uses the mobile site 100 percent of the time, I just hope that the feature that allows me too pick up a thread where I left off is still live. Going through a 5 page game thread would be horrible if it reverts to the start every time.

That was my thought also.
 
The other thing I see is that previously out would show who made the last post in a thread. I found that quite helpful. I mean if someone like street or joeywa was the last to post I probably wouldn't bother going to read it. :-)

I agree. That is one of my favorite features, where I can click on a thread and it automatically goes to my first unread post. Very very convenient.
Other than that, looks great!!

I agree with this post.

Additionally, I was stuck on the "my profile" page earlier; a "Back to forum" button would be useful there as well

Overall, I am digging the new look. Good Job Fellas

That feature is implemented in Mobile version. You may see it working from now.

Topics listed inside forums are showing Avatar and Name of Last poster.

Also, if the Topic Title is in Bold format, it means new reply has been posted in that particular topic.

I agree with this post.

You may notice a floating (left angle) icon on the left side of page. Yep that faded one with light gray background and white color. We can use this to Quickly Jump to several areas. For eg. Home, Forums, The Wire, News Archive
