The new app both works and looks great on my Nokia N9. However, the old, secondapps, version got a nice-looking logo when added to the start menu whereas the new one didn't. Old app on the left, new one on the right:

[ckohler]

You should get the new icon now. Try it again. Same goes for other users (Android?) who might also not have gotten the icon.

[Doopliss]

The problem is with Opera. If you go to MSNBC.com, you'll get the same thing. They too use Google Mobile AdChoices. I just tested Opera Mobile on my iPhone and while most of the web app works, it has a few crappy inadequacies all of which are the fault of the browser. For one, it doesn't support the line-height CSS property which means a bunch of the buttons aren't the right size. Second, doing anything that is dynamic and normally instantaneous on a webkit browser, like clicking to show/hide the quick menu, takes like five seconds and performs a full page load while other Javascript events like clicking the blue bar to scroll down to the bottom (window.scrollTo) doesn't work at all. You guys will find a much better experience on a more robust Webkit browser like Safari or the default Android browser.

That's Opera Mini. Opera Mobile is a pretty solid browser, one of the best available on Gingerbread phones both in terms of performance and page rendering (although obviously not in this instance).

Ahh. I stand corrected. I didn't realize there were two versions.

Has there been any mention yet of putting page numbers back next to the threads? That was a really easy way to jump to the end of a thread from the main subforums.

Huh? You can go to the end of a thread by pressing the > arrow on a thread, unless you've got that set to First Unread in your preferences. Or am I misunderstanding you?

[Mechazawa]

Oh, I didn't know that did anything. Thanks. I guess my only other peeve is that I don't see any way to go back to the main menu of Gaf in one click in a thread, but that's relatively minor.

[scorpscarx]

I'm liking it a lot.

Is there a dark theme for normal Neogaf?

[JoshuaJSlone]

Kindle devices should now be able to browse Mobile. I have no way to know how well it will work, though.

Nice. Seems to be working decently so far.

It works now, and the new icon is even nicer than the old one. Thanks!

Finally trying it out on my iPod touch, running iOS 5.1. Smooth as butter :D. Great job ckohler!

[Enkidu]

It's a pretty long thread so I don't know if this has been brought up before, but is it just me or does the URL not update when you go to different pages? It seems any time I refresh the page I end up at the main menu instead of the page I was on.

Works fine for me on mobile Safari.

[Enkidu]

Works fine for me on mobile Safari.

Huh, I just went into the browser settings and changed it to identify as mobile safari and now it works fine. I also cannot replicate the error again by changing the settings so I guess it was a bug on my end.

[Gianni Merryman]

Mobile GAF works pretty well on my Nintendo Wii, but I'm to report that there's an issue with the search function in the main page that was maybe overlooked during the testing stage: since there is not a "search" clickable button, once I write something in the text field I am stuck there, so instead I always have to go for advanced search.

It's not a big deal yet since everything is so smooth and cool this could be easily fixed I suppose.

[Mike Works]

Apologies if this has been addressed, but the Go To First Unread Post arrow for each thread in my Subscriptions list no longer does this; it takes me to the last page of the thread now (like it used to). For the record, I'm using iCab browser (iPad). Any idea why this isn't working?

Re-set your preference. It was changed to last page is the default setting.

The GAF globe takes you one step up in the hierarchy eg. thread > forum section > main list. Or just use the menu at the top right to go to your preferred section directly.

[Ashes1396]

The folders in in your subscriptions get merged. :/

Is there somewhere to have the folders separate like on desktop?

[Like the hat?]

Sorry if this has already been asked, but does anyone else sometimes get huge blank black spaces about a third of the way down a page on ios safari? Happens randomly.

[RubxQub]

Yeah, I've seen that before. Only happened to me once that I can remember, but I've seen it.

[ckohler]

I've seen it also. I don't think it's an HTML error because I was able to rotate my phone and when it resized the page the space was gone. I think it's a graphical bug of some kind.

[mattiewheels]

I noticed on the Vita browser that the goto last unread doesn't work the first time you click, it just puts you on the last page. But when you hit back then click again, it does. Weird.

[RubxQub]

Urg! I'm sure the answer is no, but is there anyway to stop the site from constantly trying to lock you on a specific post while the page is loading various images and whatnot?

I don't mind things moving around in general, but you pretty much can't read the thread at all unless you stop things from loading all-together.

I love "go to last unread", but sometimes it's crazy rough in pic heavy threads. I know I could turn off image loading automatically as a workaround...hoping there might be a way to have the browser jump you to a post once and stop trying after that instead of constantly relocking.

[DeathNote]

I just had safari crash twice on my 4s mostly browsing neogaf mobile.

I have to multitask open another app to get to the home screen and then multitask close safari.

Anyone else?

[ckohler]

No, I have not had Safari crash in a very long time. Like months. Maybe you need to restart your phone.

This might be possible using javascript but there's a catch. Once the page scrolls down to the desired post, more images above it will continue to load in and the first unread post will be shoved off the bottom screen of the screen and continue to be shoved off until all the big photos are loaded.

I think you guys are realizing now why I held off on adding that feature for so long. :p

[Siaynoqq]

I'm sure this has been asked in the thread somewhere, but is there a way to make an app of this, similar to the secondapp version we had before?

This might be a common Q, so might be good to put the answer into the OP.

[macfoshizzle]

Sweetness!!!!

Though one thing, can you add reply button with the top menu? Having to scroll all the way down tires my thumb :-P

I like the feature, and images tend to load fairly fast for me. I pretty much only use this on Wi-Fi with a 40Mbps connection though.

[woahitsreeo]

Click the arrow on the blue title bar or the title bar itself for a quick jump to the bottom and likewise to jump to the top.

Question: Is there any reason why the redirect is being done through javascript and not through rewrite rules on the webserver?

[Copernicus]

Evilore: this isn't really related to mobile gaf, more to prime gaf.

On mobile gaf if your settings are set to not show pictures, you can still do "click to show". Is it possible to add this to gaf prime? Right now it's just links, which open up in new windows.

[charlequin]

Question: Is there any reason why the redirect is being done through javascript and not through rewrite rules on the webserver?

Good question.

[ckohler]

Good question.

It was because this version of vBullitin's templates can't include PHP, apparently. I don't think doing the redirects at the Apache level would work either since we need to check for a cookie and act accordingly.

[Quadrophenic]

Ever since the mobile site launched, I reset my password (I didn't remember it) and now I'm always logged out after some time of inactivity. :/ It's like I'll browse some other sites for a pretty short time (5-10 minutes), come back to NeoGAF, refresh the topics and notice I've been logged out by the system. I've got "Remember me" checked when I login, so I'm not sure what's causing this. This is all on the main site btw, didn't notice it on the mobile version.

I've had the exact thing happen to me. It doesn't affect any other websites (so its unlikely a browser/cookie problem), and only started to happen once I reset my pasword and logged in to the mobile site. The mobile site does keep my "stay logged in"/"Remember me" settings however.

[EviLore]

Clear your cookies on your desktop browser.

[charlequin]

It turns out Apache (and, more relevantly for us, Nginx) let you implement rewrite rules that check for the existence of a cookie, though. (I knew this about Apache, but I didn't realize Nginx had the same capability when everything actually got set up.) So it might be worthwhile for us to try to move the redirect to rewrite rules to speed things up in the future.

[Quadrophenic]

Thanks, that fixed it, Evilore!

That sounds like an excellent idea. Then, we only need to change the javascript part to display a link to remove the cookie when it's present (which is very simple).

[Zeppu]

I mentioned it because sometimes on slow connections having to wait for a page to load up fully, only to have it redirect on pageload can be annoying. Actually from the looks of it the script doesn't even need to be at the bottom, it can be moved to the HEAD for a quicker redirect. Rewrite rules would be a cleaner option though.

There basically need to be the following rewrite rules:

IF (desktop useragent) AND (domain = m.neogaf.com) rewrite to www.neogaf.com
IF (mobile useragent) AND (domain = www.neogaf.com) AND (forceDesktop not set) rewrite to m.neogaf.com

// redirect to desktop if on m.neogaf.com on desktop
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} [desktop-user-agent-regex-you-can-find-online]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^m\.neogaf\.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.neogaf.com/$1 [R=permanent,QSA,L]

// redirect to mobile if on www.neogaf.com and on mobile user agent and forceDesktop not found
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} [mobile-user-agent-regex-you-can-find-online]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?neogaf\.com$ 
RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} !^.*forceDesktop.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://m.neogaf.com/$1 [R=permanent,QSA,L]

That should do the trick. These should work for apache. They might need some tweaks for Nginx.

[Tunesmith]

The ability to preview threads/posts would be highly appreciated if it could somehow be magic'd into the mobile version (unless there already is a way that I've missed?).

[StarCreator]

I think the feature I miss most from the desktop version is the ability to search for my own posts, which is actually how I keep track of threads I'm participating in. Otherwise this is pretty much everything I could have possibly asked for.

Just wanted to say I think the mobile site is great. Been using it since it first rolled out. I've never tried the secondapp site, so it was completely new to me. But, I adjusted to it very quickly, and I prefer it to browsing the full site on my iPhone. Being able to reveal spoilers was my most pleasant surprise, and I appreciate the ability to skip to the bottom of the page as well as refresh from the bottom. Before, on the iPhone, I would have to skip to the top for a refresh, then scroll all the way back down to wear I left off reading. And of course, everything is easier to read without having to zoom in and out.

Thanks!

[Seep]

Did we just get a third ad per page thrown in?

Edit: and it's just disappeared.

[Silly.Mikey]

Any possibility of an app? I put my browsing private on iphone so it doesn't keep cookies and passwords. An app would be useful for those who dont keep cookies.

No cookies, eh? What are you trying to hide, hm?
