New Mobile Theme for Forums
- Thread starter arn
- Start date
- Sort by reaction score
If you tap on the triangle icon rather than thread title, it will take you to new posts.
The tap target is a bit small at the moment
When you have MacRumors as a webapp on the homescreen, tapping the Forums link still kicks you to Safari.
This needs to be fixed.

New mobile version of MR!
The old WAP Forums are gone! This is much better as it seems MR went for a Mobile VB solution!

I played around with this tonight. I was able to get it to not leave the webapp on some links, but overall the webapp version felt bad.
So I removed the webapp flags from the page. If you resave your homepage bookmark, it will not load as a regular safari bookmark.
I think the experience is better, since there's a Back button etc...

I like it, replacing tapatalk for now since the mobile site honors my exclude forums by ID setting.
Edit: I had to get the New Posts link from the full site and use it while on mobile to get new posts. There should be a link to new posts within the mobile site.

It should be bigger now.
It's in the search menu:

Can we get the &exclude= added to the New Posts link? It work on the full site, just not the mobile.

Bravo arn and MR crew! Thanks so much for addressing the concerns of your users. This mobile site is so much of an improvement. I really appreciate your efforts. Ya even got a mobile Forum Spy. Impressive!!!
Just got around to using it, and it's a pleasure to use! The readability, the usability, I like it very much!
I love the look of the new theme, I've only got one gripe.
On my iPhone 4S (5.1) if I let the screen rotate it sends me all the way back to the top of the page. Not necessarily a huge deal, but it is quite frustrating if I'm reading through posts while I'm at work, where I'm frequently interrupted.
