Phoneposting suck for anyone else now?

posted 5 years ago by chunkyweapon 5 years ago by chunkyweapon +15 / -0

Since the mobile redesign half the buttons work half the time and I can't scroll down past the arrows on my screen, meaning most comments a third into a thread get cut off (it mostly happens to theimpossible1 so I'm not terribly bothered). Is anyone else having these issues or am I the only phonefag here?

You're the second post I've seen about this and since I usually have been defensive of the devs I thought I'd do some tests. I'm just sitting here on a conference call anyway.

I've got an extra phone I've been playing around with so I loaded a bunch of browsers on it. It's on Android 10. Can't help with Apple because I'm too cheap to buy one of those. I browsed through a couple of long threads on each of these cases. I installed all of these fresh on a "burner" phone essentially so I've not customized any settings.

Brave -- no issues scrolling, I don't see these arrows. I usually use Brave on my main phone and I've never seen the arrows and didn't know WTF anyone was talking about at first.
Chrome -- no issues, arrows show and work
Firefox -- no issues, arrows show and work
LineageOS browser -- no issues, arrows show and work
Opera Mini -- no issues, arrows show and work. The scroll bar is annoying but I think that's an Opera thing

I was really hoping I could find it broke so there would be something to point to the devs, but no luck unfortunately.

Personally, my only real complaint with the changes is I'd like a link at the top to return to the KiA2 home page very easily. Everything else I have no complaints.

I'm using the default samsung browser. Guess I need to switch. Too bad everything else has shitty adblocking.

Mobile Firefox allows you to use some of the addons that desktop FF can, so you can straight up install uBlock Origin.

Fuck Mozilla, but I'd say FF is the best mobile browser simply because of this.

I'm not having any major issues. Occasionally the very last post in a thread will be formatted wonkily, but it seems kind of random. And the return to top arrow likes to sit right over the submit button, but it's been like that since the site started for me

My phone is an LG Wine.

It does text messages.

I hate how the center banner at the top of the page is gone when visiting a post. Makes it much more annoying to go back to the homepage
