Same with me, I'd hate browsing this way on my PC. This was designed specifically for screen sizes like 360px wide.

So what phone has 360px width? I know my 5s has 640, and the 6 has 750. I think the Galaxy S5 has 1080. Maybe that's why it looks so L A R G E. It is very hard to make mobile friendly websites, I'm fully aware as we have the same challenge at work.

The Samsung S4 is 360x640, to name one.

Didn't work for me. I went onto my desktop and thought I accidentally zoomed in or turned on the old man settings. So, no, it fuckin doesn't. Not gonna use it, no biggie, but thanks for being oversensitive to criticism and calling me a moron over it, it's cool.

edit: i guess i should read the op before posting!!!


edit 2: honestly i feel like the mobile design is dated. i get that trying to shoehorn the SA forums in a modern mobile UI would probably cause the universe to collapse but it feels like one of those low bandwidth mobile version you'd get in the early 2000's when your flip phone got on the world wide web. an example i found of a better interface i've found would be at the mobile joomla forum:

http://www.mobilejoomla.com/forums.html

compare this on desktop vs mobile. it's a far better mobile experience

edit 3: more constructively, the bits i like are:

the entire subject line area should be a button and responsive. the site acts like a mobile app (i.e. using a visual loading indicator rather than going to a blank white screen and then slowing loading) rather than a very tiny desktop version. and pages? it's 2014. infinite scrolling + jump-to-post is where it's at.

Please add this to the OP:


:siren: Trigger Warning: Experimental/Beta Testing Chat :siren:

This thread is a discussion for a future that is still incomplete as well as a discussion of the font called "Novo Sans."

If you have never heard of debugging, do not believe that the process of debugging exists, or are pants-shittingly afraid or triggered at the term "opt-in," please leave now.

Christ, fine, not even going to argue further over semantics, I think I meant that the word can be interpreted in different contexts anyway. I done hosed up there, I'll admit it.

But you still kinda flipped out over an as-yet unavailable feature that, up until that point, you haven't even mentioned, and act like we should all know about it right off the bat. So how's about going over this stuff in the op because I can't believe you wouldn't anticipate questions like that; maybe have a coming soon! section or something so there wouldn't be an onslaught of criticism, instead of expecting us to know everything about the project and getting upset over people voicing legit concerns.

Again, I'm honestly just trying to be constructive at this point, I don't feel like having a slap fight. Can we be cool now?

Go into your user control panel, scroll to the bottom, check "Enable experimental features," and feel the loving warmth and care that only Noto Sans can bring to your heart. You'll find yourself enjoying life much more when you experience all the joys this typeface has to offer both you and humanity in general.
