This happens a lot recently in random threads. Resolve it by rotating the orientation back n forth.

Is there a way to auto force the mobile site on a desktop?

This happens in every other thread now in Safari/iOS. Seems to be related to the way the ads refresh as it appears with uncanny reliability when they swap out. I just recently rebooted the iPad and have a clean cache so I don't think it's a memory thing. Sometimes the black covers the entire screen, or in cases just a quarter like in the screenshot.

I also have similar problems on my OS7 blackberry when the ads refresh. Instead of a black block I get the ads on the screen no matter where I am, flickering for every ad refresh. It makes mobile GAF really damn unpleasant because of my relatively small screen size (2.8 inches). If the ads didn't constantly refresh it'd probably solve all of these problems. Someone get on the issue. :/

Another bug I've noticed, in locked threads the bottom blue bar vanishes:

A bug (?) in subscribed threads. In secondapps, when you pushed the ">" button on the right side of the thread title, it took you to the last unread post. Here it just takes you to the last page.

Thanks, didn't know about that.

I'm having g serious issues with threads not jumping to the last page after hitting the arrow on the thread list page. I am not alone right?

EDIT: holy shit. Right above me too. This is what happens when my jump button doesnt work!

Is it intentional that the pinch and pull zoom functionality that's typically so prevalent in mobile browsers has been disabled on mobile neogaf?

[ckohler]

I've been busy the past couple of weeks so I've not had time to work on any updates. I might have some later this weekend, though. If so, here are some things I want to address:

1. Is there a chance we get a "sort by post" option for the search results? For me personally search is pretty much useless without it.

Displaying search results by posts is something I want to add. I don't think it's terribly difficult but it might take longer than some of the other changes.

2. It says "Searcy" in Advanced Search ;-)

I'll fix this.

After using the webapp for a good while now, the orb really should take you back to subs if that's where you came from instead of up to the forum. When rifling through your subs for new posts it totally kills the flow when you get to the end of the thread. The other option would be the nav menu at bottom too, but that's rehashing old dreams and desires.

I've been thinking about using a cookie to track the last place you were before you viewed a thread, giving you the ability to go back. This will be tricky though because it has to work 100% or the Logo/back button might behave strangely. That's my plan, though.

Would it also be possible to have an option to mirror the check boxes and arrow on thread lines? So that the go to last post arrow is on the left and the check box on the right?

Not sure I like this idea but I understand what you're saying. Basically adding in the Globes from the desktop version. I'll give it some more thought but regardless it would eat up more real estate, making thread listings longer (because lines would have to wrap more).

I would like it if the jump-to-top button automatically opened the navigation menu. Nine times out of ten I'd be tapping to open that menu anyway.

I'm not a fan of this idea.

Something that would be nice would be if you could improve the interaction with the formating options above the posting box (bold, italics, url, etc).

I want to try making a few tweeks for tablets. One would be to have all the formatting buttons appear all the time without needing to click "more".

Okay, there are several bugs related to the ads. One is this periodic black space bug on iOS devices. Another, is that ads don't appear at all on Windows Phone 7. A third is that some blackbery browsers draw ads over content.

I wish I had better news here but there is literally NOTHING I can do about the ads. These issues come from the ads and I can't change those. However, there might be something Evilore could look into. Perhaps there is an option to only have image ads appear. Those dynamic text-only ads appear to be the cause of the graphical errors. I think the image only ads are fine. However, for WP7 we might need to offer them a different ad entirely. Perhaps WAP ads or something.

Am I missing something or is there no preview post button?

Ugh. Another feature I want to add. This one might require some more serious changes to the compose interface. For example, I might have to move the "Submit/Preview" buttons beneath the text area box.

This should be easy to fix.

Is it intentional that the pinch and pull zoom functionality that's typically so prevalent in mobile browsers has been disabled on mobile neogaf?

Yes, this is intentional. The only things you should need to pinch/pull would be images. Just tap any photo and it'll open in a new tab where you can pinch/pull them.

Have you considered the possibility that people might want to zoom in on the text on the page?

Because really, some people do. And I'm not trying to sound like a dick here, but I find it easier on the eyes to zoom in on a wall of text a little bit.

[Sentry]

Dude. It's called the mobile web-app for a reason. If you want a wall of text you can zoom in and out on, stick with the desktop version. Simple as that.

[MarkusRJR]

Yeah I don't seem to have any problems with the image-only ads. If there's a way to make there only be image-only ads, that'd probably solve the issues with iOS and BB users.

[Tunesmith]

The black square thing mostly happens in image ads. See my screenshot in post 904, it covers half of one.

Oh, I'm sorry your highness. I didn't know my web browsing habits needed to be dictated by you.

Simple fact of the matter for me is that the mobile web app loads much faster a looks much nicer on my screen than the desktop site. At the same time, NeoGAF is essentially a giant wall of text, and the ability to actually zoom in on that text a little bit makes the reading experience a lot easier for me when I'm trying to read at with the phone an arm's length away and not 3 inches from my face.

Increase the text size in the settings until it is a comfortable size for all your viewing distances. 130% looks fine on my tablet from just about anywhere.

I wish I didn't have to keep my browser in mobile mode to view m.gaf, almost every other mobile site I visit, which unfortunately autodetect as well, are terribly optimized for tablets, and then there's youtube which doesn't behave in any sort of logical way in its mobile version.

[butter_stick]

It can be difficult to copy the right sections of text without a zoom, so I'd certainly appreciate the option.

As Big said, just increase the text size from the preference. All i'm saying is that the very point of this whole thing has been to make it feel like an APP, not a website, so allowing zooming seems contradictory.

[thecouncil]

edit: alright, i answered all my own questions.

[Foliorum Viridum]

Is there any way to "mark all posts as read"? I can't find it if there is.

If not, could it be added, like down by "Disable Mobile Website?"

I like to clear it all when I've read what I want.

[bobs...onGaf]

I echo this sentiment, I know you can change the global text size, but sometimes you just want to zoom in on a certain bit of text.

[lilsting10]

Does this interfere with being logged-in at all?

I routinely change from viewing NeoGAF on a laptop/desktop, and an android phone which automatically converts all the synced bookmarks into 'mobile view'. Just whenever I leave the site and come back to it, it makes me log-in again. I was wondering if it was a byproduct of switching between the different viewing modes.

Are there any plans to have the mobile view on desktops/laptops? That would be outstanding.
If not are there any browsers for desktops which can force sites to use mobile view?

[lilsting10]

For the record I 'can' zoom in and out on the mobile neogaf site? Not sure why some members seem to be having issues with that. I love it, as I can zoom the text up huge, and it goes onto a new line rather than making me scroll left and right, which is in turn great if I have the phone held far from my face. I wish all sites did that.

[Ecrofirt]

I am really glad to hear that I'm not the only person who sees the value in zooming.

Being able to zoom in and out when I want to on a particular bit of text on a page is a very useful thing.

Let me guess. 3.5" screen?

[Ecrofirt]

I have a Droid Bionic and a Kindle Fire.
So, no. A 4.3" screen, and a 7" screen.

Im using an Iphone 4, my google-fu is weak but I believe you might be right. Any chance of making it a user option (turning on and off pinch to zoom I mean)

[Tunesmith]

It's evolving!

:(

[ckohler]

It's evolving! :(

It seems to be a combination of the ads and the in-page anchor (#post1234) scrolling past the ads before they can display. As a test to confirm, turn off the "jump to first unread" feature for a while and see if it stops.

[iNvid02]

ok I've been using this a lot on my iPad and it's great, good job guys.

now I dunno if it's just me, but how would people feel if the grid button were swapped
with the down arrow button. I can't explain it but if I want to scroll down to the bottom
of the page I think the down arrow button being on the outside would feel better.

I keep pressing the down arrow accidentally when I want to press the grid button,
is it just me?

The downward arrow isn't a button, it's just there to signify you can tap the entire blue bar to go down (and up if you're already at the bottom). So what you're experiencing is purely psychological.

In my experience it'd be weird for the grid menu button not to be in the corner of the bar (you can't accidentally tap to the right of it and not have it react/open).

[iNvid02]

damn I was doing it wrong.

thanks, just gotta train myself to stop now

Threads are only highlighted in the lists if you CREATED them.

I've had similar issues, especially when trying to use spoiler tags, putting them in the right location when quoting even a moderately sized post is troublesome.

[Chuckpebble]

So I visited GAF with my 3DS last night, was pleasantly surprised to get served the mobile app. Looks nice.

So, about remembering my login, apparently that requires javascript, is the 3DS capable? I'd have tested it, but I haven't entered my password in months and I have to go scrounge that thing up somewhere.

[MatthewB92]

Any chance a favicon will be added? I hate the 3DS's default one. >.<

How come banned usernames aren't greyed out on mobile?

Just checked with desktop and the feature is still there?

[Dash Kappei]

Bugs:

•Banned usernames aren't greyed out.

•PM Box's folder "sent items" still marks the recipients as "FROM" instead of "SENT TO".

•Your own threads aren't "highlighted" with the green stripe under Subscribed threads.

•Secondapps' countdown doesn't work anymore under m.neogaf:
http://m.neogaf.com/showpost.php?p=37813029
"access restricted for this domain"

Hope this can help.

[Copernicus]

Ckohler, why is the area around the quick menu changed when activated? Shouldn't the graphic depict a depressed button instead?

[ckohler]

Update
I had a little free time today so I made some fixes/changes.

• Fixed misspellings of "Search"
• Sent-To folder PMs now indicate "To" instead of "From"
• Changed shape of quick buttons for tablets
• Increased height of compose area for tablets
• Made compose screen buttons always visible on tablets
• Fixed color of usernames on list of all users for Dark Theme
• Pages can now be pinch-zoomed

For the last one, i just enabled pinch-zooming for now. Let's see how well it works. If it doesn't cause any problems then I don't have to make it a preference setting.

[Deadstar]

Would be nice if there was just one more layer of zoom. Sometimes posts are a little hard to read on the vita.

[Sgt.Pepper]

If my iPad switches from vertical to horizontal position, it autozooms now. Doesn't bother me, but I'll just mention it.
