undernown Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 (edited) Since the latest feedback thread of the mobile forums died down (both a thewad in january and march, neither got a responce from devs/forum staff),i felt a new one was needed. The mobile version lacks fuctionality compared to the full version/pc version: - Main page is dumbed down, requiring more actions to get to the same sub forums. - no acces to profile from thread. - No post count - No quote or multi-quote (still more actions required then full/pc version) - not the same fond as regular forums(more of a taste thing, and why is it necessary?) Further problems with mobile version: - error posting at least 50% of the time, leading to many double or even triple posts. - From my experiance the forum hardly uses much data on full version, mobile version has no added value for me personaly. - Both the mobile and mobile full version have a terrible autocorrect/autofill function. (making this small thread was basicly double the work then on pc version.) - "for fot rhe exact name of forum codinf provider" also stated that their own producr was a big mess in january 2013! and it's still bad. - No option to always use full version or dissable autofill/autocorrect. If you want a better forum, the first step would be to revert the mobile version back to pc version. And then introduce it again when it's working properly. Feel free to add anny issues you have with the mobile version. Edited April 5, 2015 by undernown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

izzatuw Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 There is quote, you have to press the post first than the option will show up, multiquote no. From thread just click your name. Lacks: -No dev responses -No +1 -No New Threads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)immanks102 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Agreed. Hence why almost all my post have to be edited because the page will randomly jump to the top using the desktop version and I miss stuff constantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence why almost all my post have to be edited because the page will randomly jump to the top using the desktop version and I miss stuff constantly. Full version and pc version are not entirely the same (anymore). So desktop cersion kinda confused me there for a minute. Also, does annyonw else have issues with the the typing location jumping around sometimes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undernown Posted April 6, 2015 Author Share Posted April 6, 2015 It would be nice to know that it atleast has been noticed bij DE? 3 months of complains and not a single word.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagPrime Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 I dislike the mobile version, greatly. When I sign in, I have to poke around to find out what notifications or messages I have. It'd be nice if I could select "Always PC version" on my profile and then "Always dark theme" to boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krak_Nihilus Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 It still doesn't have +1 and report option. Every time I want to upvote something I need to switch to full, same for reporting, which is quite inconvenient. Please add them. Thank you.

Noobsdie4eva Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I personally find full a lot more useful. Although its a pain to have to switch to full very time I open the browser, for some reason it ignores that I have it set to always request desktop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undernown Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 I frequently type long posts on mobile full version. But the autofill function makes this realy frustrating. As it fills in previous words of the whole sentence while you're trying to delete that very same sentence. It also jumps around some times, so while im correcting a semtence, suddently im deleting a perfectly fine one. Never had these problems with the pre-mobile version.

[DE]Drew Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 The mobile version is just the default IP boards mobile skin. It is designed to be streamlined (hence why it lacks functionality), but it also lacks any special HTML we've added to the forums. I'll look into increasing its functionality when I have some extra time. FYI: you can still use the regular theme by selecting "Full Version" at the bottom of the mobile forums.

RonanFrost Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 With as large as the community is, would it be impossibru to maybe get someone so capable to write an App for the forums? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spikey844 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Having a page selector would be nice. Sometimes you want to read a specific page, but when you select the thread you get taken straight to the most recent post or the very first page, which can be quite annoying.

(PSN)excat_56 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 (edited) With as large as the community is, would it be impossibru to maybe get someone so capable to write an App for the forums? That is one of the few things Destiny did right from the start! I love their app. Granted we don't need as much function that the Destiny app has, but having access to the forum, news articles, codex (including drop locations, and have it platform specific), and warframe alerts (platform specific too!) could all be integrated and would be really cool. Would be really nice to get it all from DE in one app instead of having to have several different apps. I would probably even pay $0.99-$2.99 for an app like that.

TheRealBadWolf Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I hate it with all of my heart. And I get pissed everytime cause I have to scroll down and choose full version every single time.

But it doesnt remember it. If possible, let it somehow go onto our accound "BadWolf - ALWAYS display full site" :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverZs Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I never have any problems with the site on a mobile device... I'm curious as to what devices you're all using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OfPowerOfWant Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I think that it is perhaps a coding issue related to a set of scripts not loading sometimes but I don't have debugging plugins on my phone or tablet to confirm where the code seems to break. In "full-version" on my phone and tablet, both on the forums and the wiki, sometimes the background loads and then nothing else or the content is being hidden somehow and any scrolling just jumps you back to the top of the window. I have to switch back and forth between "mobile" and "full" and keep reloading the page to get it to load completely but eventually the page does load so I assume that it works correctly if conditions in a script are met and that sometimes there is an undeclared or improper data-type variable error.

It's not a problem with it, it's the lack of important futures. Like upvote, report option, multiquote to a degree. I use mobile version on my phone, but having to switch to full every time I need to report something to be moved, removed, locked or whatever, I need to switch to full site. Which is inconvenient to use on a small mobile device. Same when I want to upvote something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undernown Posted May 31, 2015 Author Share Posted May 31, 2015 Bumoing thread cause i haven't seeb any indication of weither the mobile version is even on their radar right now. Not sure what part of the team is responsible for the forum/website portion if warframe... But by the Lotus! Remove the damn auto correct and auto-fill it does every time i trie to remove a word! It's so bad that i usualy use google-docs to type out the longer messages. Then select the whole damn text and paste that here, and its still faster then just typing it out on the forums. Do you have any idea hpw much of a pain it ia to select a 3x A4-sized text wall on a mobile application? It often takes several tries and dozens of scroll movements. And its still faster then typing it out here. Cause fir every word you try to corect or remove, you have to delete all the words that came before it within the sentence. Dl;dr = fix this sh*t! Its been going for almost a half year now! P.s. Sorry for the eye-sour of a formformating, but hey blame the damn mobile version! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
