I can't make it cause h-scroll. Which browser is it on your phone?
I can get a repro. I'll investigate.

Added a ">" on the thread list that takes you to the first unread post.
I saw that when I was looking at the h-scroll.
I was just too busy bitching to say thanks.
I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to help with the h-scroll thing. I can't force a repro on anything I've got.
We need better funding so I can have a proper test environment.
Made threads with unread posts show up bolded.
It's not so important, really.
Maybe what you need is funding for a plane ticket.
The "go to first unread post" button/">" in the mobile theme seems to have disappeared...
I disagree.
It's analagous to the down arrow on the classic blue screen. It only shows when there's actually an unread post. Perhaps you read them all?
Logged in a few times today on my phone and noticed its absence.
There are new posts in certain threads (evidenced by appearing in the "New Post" list and having bold headlines). But no ">" with a direct link to the new post...
I see the >, but it's at the end of the thread title instead of in front, maybe that;s why you missed it?
Should it be at the front? I just shoved it in there where I thought it made sense, but I'm not really a consumer of that style, so if you guys want it moved...
It used to be in end...but I'm seriously just not seeing it today when I checked on my phone on the train. :confused:
Maybe it's just a defect of your phone, like mine objecting to punctuation on the forum, but nowhere else.
I have decided that my punctuation problem was actually with Opera Mobile. The post is with IE, and it is allowing me to have my "." I tried Opera Mini, it is even shittier.
So now I know. I'd still prefer blaming Wraithy, though.
I think the mobile theme was actually designed for a touch screen phone. It's actually usable now, although I'm now going to ask for that reply with quote link Trixy wants so badly.
Hey, wraithy, I'm going to ask for more on the mobile theme, again. Can I have a link on top to who is online, or would that break things, too?
Without any real knowledge of this, I don't suppose a link would be bad in itself. But the issue with a mobile theme is that everything we ad makes the site potentially slower for everyone using it because it ads precious more HTML to load in a possibly narrower "tube" of an Internet connection.
That's true, of course, but do many people really have a problem? The normal site runs perfectly fast on my mobile phone, the problem is more that it doesn't compact itself all neat and pretty and easy to scroll through.
I wouldn't be as concerned about the bandwidth as the additional clutter. Will need sign off from other mobile theme users before I can really go ahead and do it.
I access the site on 2G/Edge from my phone when traveling, so I do think keeping it sparge for layout and bandwidth purposes is something we should be conscious of. But I don't see a problem with just this link itself if you think it will be useful.
The added bandwidth is really tiny. It's just the text required to list all the names. If you're willing to actually open a thread at all, then the added bandwidth from this would be completely insignificant.
As to how useful it'd be, I have no opinion.
I think Flixy and Minx both use the mobile theme as well, so I'd like to hear their feedback as well.
Beat them up until they answer.
I'm not doing work for the opportunity to have more work.
It's not like you don't get paid for it. :mad:
I don't :mad:
There's a solution for that :mad:
I thought this was just a link that went to a list of people online...it would appear in every thread?
All I want is a list of people online. It could replace the thing about groups under user CP in the mobile theme.
It's not something that is all that important, or that would probably be used that often by anyone using the mobile theme. I wanted it last night, that's the only reason I even looked for it.
Now if Wraithy wanted to make the mobile theme black, with white text and purple links, that would be fucking awesome.
It would be good if quotes on the mobile theme had a darker color in the background. On my phone, it is very difficult to tell the different between a quote the rest of the text. Like, CED1D3.
Should be easy enough to do. Tonight or tomorrow.
1. index pages designed kinds like the mobile theme of life hacker? ie boxy links, easier to click, great looking esp on phones.
2. time stamps smaller than regular post text? and/or gray font.
3. more noticeable dividers between paras, eg black, thicker, reaches both edges?
4. indent post text relative to poster name? slightly increased distance between poster name and post?
no opinion on online members link, not bothered either way! but thanks a bunch for the theme switcher!
Just tell him you want the members link, he'll do it if anyone besides me says they want it.
He fucking hates me, you know.
I'm kind of curious about who ever uses the mobile theme, and if they are using it because their phone can't handle the regular ones, or because the other forum themes just look really fucking ugly from their phones. I don't necessarily need or want less features, it just annoys the hell out of me that I have to scroll all over the place to use the normal skins on my phone - or I'd be using my purple one because the mobile one is fucking ugly.
Maybe we should wait until the new "official" vBulletin mobile theme is live so we can compare the two and not foist requests of Wraith?
But teasing Wraith is so much fun!
(Don't ban me :()
Much better. Cheers.
I'm using IE right now, I never liked any of the other mobile browsers on my old phone, so haven't bothered to check to see if they are any better now.
Thinking about it, though, I think I'd also get annoyed with avatars and sigs if I were using a non-mobile theme on my phone.
I'm actually using a stylebot-modified version of the mobile theme on my desktop right now :)
I suggest removing the "home" link from the top row, and replacing it with the "up" link.
