More useful than what it currently looks like, plus it was slapped together.
The menu on the left isn't something that's used often so there isn't a reason it needs to be displayed 100% of the time. It's just taking up space as you read a thread. A better method might be to have a menu (represented by a thin bar along the side) that you can slide out from the side when you want to access the other sub-forums or your profile.
 
Another great idea would be, a drop-down menu for gaming, off topic, community etc. and a slide out panel from the left to quick access to your subscribed threads and a quick refresh button for those.

Well, the idea is that when you choose your thread to read, the left panel is replaced with the list of threads from the selected forum seciton, and the right panel is replaced with the actual thread content. Just like most multi panel email apps on tablets work. So that you minimize page reloading the higher level list.

I just didn't feel like doing that mockup.
 
This is what it looks like when you get banned:

It's a hellish nightmare of a wasteland.
 
I couldn't find a thread via the app because the search is borked so I googled it but I then realized its the desktop version. Is there a way (besides making it an actual in the app store) of having so if I look at a thread I actually see it within this web app?
 
I apologize if this has been requested before/denied, but I was wondering if a feature for copying the link to a specific post could be added? It is the one thing I always find myself wishing I had. I have to go to the main GAF site, find the post, and get the link from there every time, and the main site loads reaaally slowly on my phone.

It's still there. And there's no thread whose title is excessively long or something like that.
Could you post a screen of it because I don't understand. It looks fine on my iPhone 3GS.
 
I've said this before, but at least for the subscribed threads can you make it so it goes to the latest posts? All you do is add a &goto=newpost like below:

Chkoler had that years ago but could never get it to work properly so he removed it. What I'd like him make it do is go to the page with the latest posts, instead of always going to the last page. I often often miss the 49th/50th (99th/100th) posts because the webapp link is already point to the next page.
 
Did some work in Photoshop of the GAF I want to see on an Ipad. Don't know what the technical limits are for a webapp, but fuck that. I can dream.

In the magical land of GAF on Ipad, you can see sections and inside threads at the same time, update effortlessly on whatever you want.

Please give me a list of names of all the threads you have subscribed and I will try to fix it. I'm fairly certain one of your threads *must* have a long set of not-breaking characters otherwise it would be happening to everyone.

Also, I know search is currently broken. I will work on fixing it when I get a chance.

Majine, your ideas are neat but probably not realistic. In particular, scrolling in multiple panes/frames is not that simple or very elegant within webkit.

I want everyone to know that I follow this thread regularly. I have ideas for a bigger update coming when I have time to develop it but I just haven't mentioned it because I didn't want to say I was working on it when I wasn't sure when I was going to have time.

It's the top thread in the screenshot:

Football/Soccer/Fútbol/Fussball/Calcio Thread 2011/12 |OT2| Everyone plays for City
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=442265

Just tested with it and it breaks the UI in the same fashion as the screenshot. It only fits "Football/Soccer/Fútbol/Fussball/Calc" without scrolling to the right.
 
I came here to tell you that I love this mobile website, and that I love the people who built it.

Maximum Kudos to you.

It would be easily fixed if there were spaces on either side of the / marks or if a mod deleted one of the words.
 
I really wish I knew about this web app a long time ago since I do most of my GAF browsing on my iPod Touch. Anyway, this web app is wonderful!

I use it all the time. Thanks for spending time working on it.
 
I approve of that iPad mock-up, that would be awesome to have the threads on the left and be able to see both the list and inside of a thread at the same time.
 
Is the post button broken for anyone else? I tried it on an iPad, an iPhone, and a TouchPad and it doesn't work on any of them.

Post and refresh no longer work for me. I thought it was because I was using the latest update to Atomic Web Browser, is that what you're using too?

(Tried on iPhone 3GS and iPad 2.)
 
Also pressing the Page x of x button doesn't work, and I can't even log in using mobile Safari (says I need Javascript, WTF).

Guess it's not Atomic's fault then, and here I just sent a nasty email! Oops.

Works here
What browser and what device?
 
Are there any chrome web apps that highlight your posts and when someone quotes them? That was so ingenious in the webapp and i would love it for my laptop.

Yeah, it is called NeoGAF User Highlighter.

It's busted for me, too. Can't post and refresh just shoots me to the top of the page. I also got that error about JavaScript when tried in Safari.

I'm using iPad 1, running iCab Browser.
 
Yeah. It is fucked for me as well.

I cleared cookies, cache etc and it now says that I must have JavaScript enabled to login at secondapps.com?

I do have JS enabled and the debug console says 1 error when I hit login but I'm not quick enough to grab the error. :P
 
I can't log in either from my Ipod. It gives me the error that javascript has to be enabled but it already is.

But then again, I couldn't ever log in and I can't remember changing anything with my javascript :P

Same. I cleared everything and it didn't work.
