Ok so when visiting this site I used to be able to switch to desktop version. Now I can no longer find the option to change. Maybe I have just became more stupid but what ever. If it is removed, please give the button back. If not, i would like you to point out where it is.

While I am it I have another suggestion.

Please remove the mobile version of teamliquid.net and make the desktop version the only one. Such a bother to switch to other version. The mobile version is really really really really really really really really really really really really bad. I cant find a single reason for it to exist. Maybe if someone is using a 15year old phone to browse, it can have better performance on the mobile version? I dont know man.

There is no longer a separate mobile / desktop version, it's one site that adjusts using responsive design. Could you elaborate on what's bad about the mobile design?

I dont know if there are more differences, but AFAIK the only thing that makes them different. Like the website is separated into 3 different pages, left, middle and right. The way how you normally go between these is you either move your eyes from, left to right. Simple eh? Or if you are zoomed in, like you usually are when using a phone or something, you drag the screen from left the right.

But in the mobile version the only way you can move is that you go to the top of the page where there are buttons that say "forum sidebar" and other one says "events/features." But what they say does not mean jack shit. Like you are at forum sidebar section, then click events/features, but you go to the middle section of the website instead. No you need to press it twise to get where you wanted. Same goes the other way around. Its so fucking cryptic. Also it must be the most inconvenient desing ever. Like I want to check what events are going on. I go to the events tab and scroll down to see them. Then i want to check the forums. Now I must scroll all the way back up, click on the forum sidebar tab not once but twise, then scroll back again. And if i am in a really long thread its a fucking pain in in ass to again go all the way back to the top of the page to click on the two buttons if i want to access either of the sidebars. If only there was a way to simply zoom out???

How is this necessary? Are there some people who try to look at the right sidebar and are like "whoops. whoops. I keep trying to look at the live events but i accidentally scroll the the screen left every time. I wish there was just somekind of mechanism that would me lock to this sidebar." If you know these people, tell them to get help.

Oh. And if you hold your phone sideways, then you are really fucked. The spacing becomes so long that its impossible to tell whats going on.

As am I. I dislike browsing TL on my phone now because it's so annoying. I used to be able to just drag the screen left, right, up, down freely. Now I have to constantly scroll back up just so I can go somewhere else. Also, a lot of times, mobile takes a while to load up and I have a delay when trying to make a post. Also, the previous thread for some reason stays on the front page even when I'm trying to scroll to the Forums section.

well for my part i think mobile is fine. dunno how other people's phones work, but on my tablet it's a single flick of the finger to go back to the top

only weird thing is sometimes i confuse the forum sidebar with the actual forum index page, but that's not a big deal
