Could someone please do something about the mobile site?

The new mobile site is an unmitigated disaster in my opinion. I thought it might get some updates but it doesn't seem to have changed. The mains problems as I see it:


1) It's too easy to accidently hit the thank you button when scrolling through threads
2) On Chrome for Android the message tools menu doesn't work unless you do a long press and open the option you want in a new tab.
3) As the message writer it doesn't seem to be possible to see how many times a message has been thanked
4) The site won't allow a mobile device to view the full site even if the full site has been requested.
5) On Chrome for Android, if someone posts an image or similar that is wider than the browser window, it is not possible to scroll side to side or zoom to see the whole thing.

I hate the mobile site, especially the inability to see thanks on posts.

I'm glad it's not just me that thanks everyone accidentally!

Awful isn't it ?

BUMP!

Is there any chance someone from the MSE team can answer this?

I will only access MSE on my laptop. What on earth were they thinking of? It's awful.

I visit several sites where forums have been "optimised" for mobile devices, or rather I should have said "did visit".

Sorry for not replying sooner, we did see this. We can't give you a timeframe right now but work on this is in the pipeline.

Hi everyone

Just to update you we’ve improved the thanks button on mobile, so you shouldn't accidentally thank each other any more!

Hopefully you'll carry on thanking deliberately though

Let us know how it goes.

Andrea.
