I mean I have Flash installed on mine,

I haven't decided yet whether my next phone will be Windows Phone or Android. Is it true that the former has Flash but no Androids after ICS can have it?

Yuk -- the new design is truly awful! And you need to allow scripts from google.com to sign in. :-(

It works on my N5, with Android 4.4.2 (haven't updated it to the latest because it's rooted and not so simple).

Android is by far the most flexible and open OS, it's got like 80% share of the market. Though it can be frustrating when the likes of the BBC and other Apple fan boys, seem to assume that everyone has an iPhone and design their apps purely for iOS, but overall it's better than anything else.

I get the impression the new site is supposed to be more "mobile friendly", but me personally I hate when websites do this, it NEVER works properly and you ALWAYS lose useful functionality.

I was on a website yesterday "Oakley" (the sunglasses) it forced me onto the mobile site, would not let me view the desktop version and then asked me to select my country/location, only the list was missing "United Kingdom" or "England" or "Great Britain".

AND, what genius designs a mobile website using Flash, which doesn't work on the vast majority of mobile devices because Adobe withdrew support?
I mean I have Flash installed on mine, but i've found some Flash based mobile websites which just do not work.



If it works, then don't **** with it.

the COOP bank have just "updated" there website for online banking , its horrible , with buttons that would be easier stabbing with your finger on the screen ,


and its crap on windows 3,1

Congratulations on starting a subject on a board that has nothing really to do with the board subject.

It's almost like you're promoting the old look, which Martin himself has said will be going in the near future anyway:

Hi folks,

As you've been blunt with us above, I hope you don't mind me being the same with you. We will be rolling out the new forum regardless of this poll (though not today that was a glitch). And I want to make a few points.

The forum everyone is saying "dont change from" - that you really like is the redesign of - is one that when we first test it 90%+ people hated. In fact some of the comments and abuse to my team above are a virtual mirror image of the last time. Much of this is that people don't want change. Yet we have to continue to improve the forum and we believe this is better. This won't be the last time either.

The forum is broke. We need to make it better for mobile devices or we risk the fact google will no longer list it on mobile and we want people to have access to it whatever the medium

We've been testing this with a large panel of users for many months, this isn't just being sprung from nowhwere - and we asked for volunteers. Yet of course we want your feedback to make the new one more comfortable and better for you to use, but 'scrap it' doesn't help.

seems that a lot of members cant find MSE labs

Did he?

In time we hope you will like the new forum design - if not you can use the old one.

which is now a listed building

Unlike Northampton's old one which is a pile of rubble (lots of videos of the demolition online). The new one isn't big enough and imo a waste of money as they'll have to replace that one too for sure.

enfield_freddy

preston , yup due to be demolished , not fit for purpose , then some silly !!!!!! suggested it should become graded 2 , and the council tax payers of preston , and there are not many* , have to pay for it


the city has become a student haven , every building converted into student accommodation , dead as duck during break times , and 50% of the population not paying council tax
