I'm glad that some people like the mobile version, but I'll probably stick with my regular version for now. I've literally never seen a mobile version of a site that I liked better than the regular one for phone browsing.

Could you guys please make the Login, Forum, Calender, etc. buttons at the top bar of the mobile page much larger? It would be nice not to have to zoom in to be able to tap them. Even if you have to make the bar 2 rows, the larger links would be easier to tap. Thanks.

I agree.

It's hard to tap without zooming in. From what I've seen from other sites' mobile versions, they make the links easier to tap, without the need to zoom in. It'll be much easier if it's bigger - serving the main idea of mobile versions.

Man, I thought I was going crazy when I couldn't see the side menu. I was like wt is up with my phone. Then I read at the bottom, TL mobile version and was like oh shit! I like the new version of the mobile, but I still like seeing the forum menus and seeing what's up to date while reading my forum. Maybe it's just cause I'm used to the old version.

I dunno I like the design for the mobile version but without a sidebar it feels rather naked.

I browse TL on my phone to kill time mostly and the sidebar is perfect for that with providing a one look overview on interesting threads. Without the sidebar TL feels like just another forum - which should not be this way, as this IS Teamliquid.

Please don't get me wrong, the mobile version is amazing and you've done an excellent job R1ch, but I think I will keep using the normal version just for the sidebar.

This is awesome!! the one thing I may ask though is that you put a sort forum bar that is similar to the normal sites bar on the home page, or maybe change the forum index so it's a little more compact, it seems harder to get through everything on this.

This was posted from my iPhone btw :D

This is perfect. It's not over simplified like many other mobile versions of sites, and you've managed to capture the essence of the site while making everything that much easier to read. Thank you!

I can't handle not having the leftside panel. Not sure how it would be best to compromise though.

As I see, everyone agrees, the side menu gives TL the feel. Even though teamliquid.net/forum is the best way to browse the forum, the side bbar is just so much faster on a phone.

Finally a mobile TL!!
Even though the normal site doesnt't really take forever to load, this is still much welcomed.

I would just like to request some stuff:
- add liquibet please!!!
- add a blog button please!
-

That's pretty much it.
Keep up the great job.

Great job all in all.

Whew ok it isn't just me. I was about to post a thread in general and saw the experimental notification on the bottom of the page.

My thoughts, having to click forums to see them instead of having a bar is annoying

same with streams. I'm glad there's an option to revert though.

Its tough because you're faced with having to reformat TL while trying to keep its essence the same. Maybe it still just take time getting used to.

I If had only one option to change something I would have a full forum sidebar on the homepage, but not anywhere else. This would keep the TL feel while granting the efficiency of a mobile viewing site while on all other pages.

I did not mind the old tl, but I do miss the left sidebar.

Thanks for awesome mobile version.

I would also like bigger top buttons, the ones above the ad are especially hard to hit w/o zoom.

It would also be great to be able to get to liquibet & FPL, even if it's just the full site version.

Quick question - how do I get the mobile version to show up? Am I missing an obvious "mobile mode" link or something, because I can't get the mobile version to show on both Opera/Chrome on my Android. :S

I personally prefer the regular version of TL. I never understood why people didn't like browsing TL on a smartphone, because for me, it was very easy, and pretty much exactly the same as browsing on a computer. You're pretty much limited only by your smartphone's keyboard.

Anyway, I did notice that the "Old Post" image doesn't really integrate well with the mobile version. There's just a big white space after each old post where the "Old Post" image goes, and it's a bit jarring. If possible, changing that whitespace to the normal TL baby-blue (as it does on the normal site) would be a plus.

Props to R1CH for the effort. I'm sure this will help a lot of people, so I applaud the wizard for his excellence in all things tech. That said, I will continue to use the desktop version when browsing on my iPhone.

I really miss the upcoming events list (right sidebar) on the mobile version, I often check that on my phone to see if anything worth watching is coming up soon.

What I miss in the mobile version is the same as few others in this thread, the left side forum panel. Other than that, great job r1ch!

1. Can you make the headers bigger? They're difficult to click with my fatty fingers.
2. Can you make the > at the end of each thread bigger? Same reason as #1.

Other than that I think it's amazing. I was so happy when I saw this happen!

I second Chill's comment.

Browsing from stock Droid2:

Can't update my profile, get an error even after filling the 'current password' field. (I checked, it's the right password).

Would also like an option to re-enable mobile version, can't find it and now in regular mode.
