Minor update to the mockup. I removed Zepto and jQuery entirely. On the plus side, this should make it 100% compatible with everything and there is less to download. Only downside is no more "long tap" features. Oh well, we can live without that. Also, you can now tap on the "Page 1 of 20" text in the footer to jump to a specific page. Tap anywhere else in the footer takes you to the top.
This revision also has me trying the CSS3 "background-size" for all devices, not just iPhone 4. Hopefully, it will work everywhere. Android and WP7 users should get see crisper looking buttons/logo/icons because of this. If it doesn't work in your browser you may see only a corner of an image. If so, please let me know.
There are some other minor changes/bug fixes. Also, Sentry, I like those icons for Gaming and OT.
If GAF Admins don't, they can let me know.

That would be a cool optional thing, I sometimes find myself wanting to jump to the very last page of a thread instead of last unread post, and sometimes need to jump to the last unread.
Though tbh, i'm just glad we finally got the ability to begin with.
Nice workaround there with the jump to page link. Still think there needs to be a way to go to last/first post easily like before.
Could you possibly add square buttons next to the prev/next page buttons that let you go to last/first post (|< & >| type icons)? i.e. [|<] [Prev] [Next] [>|]
Heh, they're OK, I just don't really necessarily see OT as "news" and would rather have a game pad/controller or something for gaming rather than the retro alien icon. Either way it's bearable, just my two cents.Also, Sentry, I like those icons for Gaming and OT.

Getting those nice crisp higher res images here on my Windows Phone perfectly fine, but the jump to specific page option doesn't seem to be working. Pretty sure it doesn't work on the original app either though. Tapping that area just scrolls me back to the top of the page.
Loving the progress. It's def. going to be great once everything is setup and tested.
That's weird that it doesn't work in the old app either. You just press the button in-between 'forum' and 'reply at the bottom.
Also, ckohler, this got me thinking. Previously you just tap on the "view thread" title at the top and you get to see the list of posters/post counts, but now there is no way to do that. Any ideas?

Yea... it works perfectly on Safari and iOS with a little popup to specify what page you want to jump to, but nothing of that sort on IE in Windows Phone for some reason.

Icons look awesome (super-crisp and well-integrated) on my Droid 2, and the page-selector is working smoothly as well.
Good point. What do you recommend? A controller for Gaming and a globe for OT? I originally considered a controller but then I thought PC gamers would just complain. Heh.

I agree about the newspaper, but don't make him change the cute li'l space invader ;_;

Prolly just edit out the "news" on the icon with a bar or simply use a globe icon.
Today's progress includes:
Here's a nifty extra feature. If you own a Windows Phone 7 device, look at the bottom of the homepage. You should see a special button that will let you create a custom Home Screen Tile. If someone can take a screenshot of it, I'd like to see it. Even though I built it, I can't actually try myself.
If you WP7 folks like this feature, be sure to thank my friend, sethcheek! He's the person who suggested it.
- Wrote the core Search code. You still can't search yet, but I now have built what I need to make it all happen. What's great is that this will also mean the ability to search for people's threads/post will return to their Member Info screens also.
- Changed the OT icon to a globe
- Fixed some YouTube embedding issues
- When Photos are turned off, tapping to reveal them now show them inline instead of opening a new tab

Thanks for the update. The live tile is nifty it had previously just took a screen shot of the homepage. The tile does stick out, and im not able to take a screen of it atm. I wish it could be more metro but I think it would need to be an actual app for that.

Two dicks hitting each other for Gaming, a picture of a dead, sodomized infant with the words BREAKING superimposed on top for OT.Good point. What do you recommend?

Nice! If it is possible, could we change the graphic to an orange background with a white neogaf logo? I think it would fit in much better.

sethcheek totally took that idea out of my head... awesome! Here are some graphics that might fall more in line with the metro style, as cool_dude_2049 mentioned it does stick out a bit (the dropshadow perhaps?)... feel free to use them as you see fit ckohler http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=34989893&postcount=19723

I think the "time is now xx:xx" bar on the bottom of the main page is kind of redundant and unnecessary.
edit: Also, the font size settings don't seem to have any effect on the user info bar (where name, member status, date, post# are).

Great stuff, glad to see WP7 get some love
I had been using an app to have a NeoGAF tile but that's probably even more awesome.Thank you both, ckohler and sethcheek.

Oh and speaking of home page tiles, here's the final one if you want to use it for the iOS pin to home feature; http://cl.ly/EiJ9 (just be sure to disable the iOS gloss effect)@Zombie James, I don't think the text size was ever alterable for the post bar... and the time bar is to mirror GAF prime, it is what it is and doesn't really impair anything, while giving the home a nice footer bar.

wtf, how I come I only find out this now?
Not sure what icon ckohler wants to go with for the W7 feature, but here's the one I did a while ago apple devices (pre-iOS icon optimization);
But here's the same thing without the fancy stuff;
or brighter;

Checked out The latest mockup on my Galaxy Nexus earlier, loving it. The index button at the top is great, one thing I miss is being able to jump straight to my subscriptions list in the website apply.
Also working 'go to first new post'..... Fffffuuuuuuu...!
Only one question, is there an easier way to jump to the top of the page, other than cancelling out of 'select page' option?

It's been discussed a bunch already and it's really not viable when you think about it. Look a few pages back if you wanna catch up on why it won't be implemented.
PS. Ckohler, when you add an image to be used for the W7 tile feature, is it also used for the iOS home screen icon? Basically, can you use two different icons for each respectively, or is there only an ability to add one which gets used acres both?

Pretty sure they are separate icons Sentry. Ckohler is using the same live tile concept that google is using: wpcentral.com/google-search-comes-around-offers-pinnable-tile-windows-phone

Why does the main screen on the mockup have that "User Features" section? Everything is already in the pop-up top menu so I don't know why I needs to be there also. Only things that aren't in the pop-up menu are "view your profile" and "logout." Also, I don't think "the time is now ____" is really needed. I'm not seeing the point but maybe im missing something. Blue thread title font takes some getting used too. Looking good otherwise.
Thanks for the feedback. You guys really seem to be nit-picking, though. There's nothing bad about having the user options on the main menu. It has zero negative impact on anything. To the contrary, I did it was because people might not know to open the header menu to find those things the first time they come to the site. The header menu is meant to be a convenience ONLY, not a requirement. I'll be adding a link to the Advanced search screen to the main menu also for the same reason. At any rate, who cares if the main menu has six items or ten, really?
Also, the "Time is now..." does serve a purpose. It's because the time shown on posts can vary based on several factors (wether or not you're logged in and if so, what time zone you have set). If you aren't logged in, all times are listed as 0 GMT but someone might get confused by this when a post just made says something different than their local time. This notice on the main menu is a reference to clarify what time times being shown in threads translate to otherwise the user might have no idea.

Yeah, this is exactly how i've wanted it. Actually, I remember making a post suggesting all of those user options (PM's etc) should go on that same home screen, and you seemed to like the idea.
Not sure why anyone would really care, everyone will be in the specific boards (Gaming/OT/Comm.) and not on the front page for the majority of their time...
Also, I see that you've added an icon image for Safari when you pin it to the home screen in iOS, but I think you used the old icon I posted early on.
Is there a reason for using that one versus the one I linked you to at the top of this page (post 3101)? Just wondering, since that version looks far better on iOS with a native-app look.
Anyway, I think we can all say that we appreciate your invested interest and work into this greatly, especially considering the level of involvement and exchange of ideas that has been going on in here.
But yeah, i'd like to think that it's all so good so far, and combined with the wait, that some may be trying to find 'issues' with it.
But seriously, thanks again.Could you change that to EST or PST as most Gaffers and lurkers are in North America?

GMT please. Respect the World =')
GMT or UTC please.
All I want really is the ability to direct link specific replies to other people.
Icing on the cake would be any neogaf links from outside of the webapp linking to the webapp instead of the real deal and vice versa. Meaning, all links are the same, it just loads differently depending on if I'm on a pc or on iOS.
Also, this may be a stretch, but a way to only load gifs on click.

I've said this before. If I could click on a neogaf link in google that would link me to here instead of the web app that would be so nice.
