My problem with the thing is that it really did improve exactly nothing for me, while it broke stuff that perfectly worked. same thing happened to the ESPN.com site.. its looks lovely and is about 90% as good as the old ugly site. i want to see the scores of all the games in the top bar. when you scroll you miss 1 of the games on the extreme right and it scrolls right past it and off the screen. i feel the new functionality in the TL.Net site has made it easier for me to watch SC games on my desktop. if it now sucks balls on phones ... well.. that sucks.  | ||

If I can take a wild guess, it would be that with the new design, your experience depends on your phone. I just plain out refuse to buy a new phone (or go to extreme lenghts to install any new software on my phone with unlikely results) just because people believe that "progress" is necessary even in things that work fine. The old version, on the other hand, when I good get the static desktop page, worked on anything that could render basic HTML. JJR: if the new design helps you to watch games, good for you. I can't really imagine how it does that, but everyone has different habits and wishes, I guess. If anything, for me it is slower because it is physically more letters to navigate around to find what I want to watch, but that's because my decision tree for SC2 is fairly limited (it essentially goes as "is GSL/SSL/SPL/a premier weekend LAN on"). | ||

I've commented on this before as well, and I agree. I hate that "mobil friendly" indicates that two buttons has to cover the entire screen just because people don't want to pinch and zoom. Easiest solution is of course to let people choose which one they want  | ||

Does anyone know a mobile browser that has the function to lie abou resolution (in addition to user-agent) to look completely like an innocent dekstop? Not resolution, but screen size (You can replicate it on your desktop by making the browser window smaller as well). I don't think there is any way to lie about your window/screen size to html5 If there is, I'm interested in it too. | ||

Back in our day, resolution meant screen size And you surely can lie, html5 has nothing to do with that, all this data is sent in http headers. And even if it weren't, it's still data that your device has to send in any form and there is nothing the page can to to stop you from lying - you only need to have the software that lies for you. | ||

I haven't tested this yet as I'm in class and only have chrome on my phone. Chrome doesn't have this option despite frequent requests. But like I said, I don't even know if it will work. | ||

I have a relatively old phone so my guess is more of what I do on TL (from my phone). I mainly browse the forums. Although I do have to navigate more now, I like the easy access to sidebars via menu buttons. I also mainly use my phone while in transit so pressing single buttons and scrolling up/down is more enjoyable... I do expect that once school starts up I'll be glad my "tablet" works more like a pc. | ||

However, the color of the links does not stick out enough to insure people will see there is a link (that is .. I admit, when one wants to make a less than 4 letter link). Please change, as in the future that may become an issue. Thank you for tl. | ||

Nowadays people use form history, not sure if this is 100 % reliable. example of the poll Edit: Since I am a programmer I tried to do a "poll" generator in PHP(I am a desktop programmer, but with the internet help it's not that hard), but then I found out that the poll is just a link to a saved poll somewhere else. So no temporary solution from me and I am sorry for creating a useless poll not shown anywhere, hope you have a clearing mechanism | ||
