New Mobile-Friendly Modifications to the Site

Hi guys I've made quite a few changes to help make CTB easier to browse and use on a mobile phone/cell phone browser. These changes do alter the look of the site on desktop as well. The one big change as I'm sure you've noticed is that the entire left column is gone. This is to help maximize the screen real-estate when you are browsing on a phone.

I also made many small changes on the view topic page. For instance it should now be easier to navigate a thread (going to the next page, previous page, etc) as the space between the links (now look now buttons) are larger. The spacing between some of the small icons have been increased also.

If you have any feedback or issues please reply to this thread, and I will look into it. Thanks guys!

Thanks David.

Great job, david.

Thanks guys- yeah I'm eager to hear how it looks on a variety of phones. The experience was much better on my phone (a Motorola Android phone) after these changes, but I'd like hear how it is on an iPhone and other popular phones as well.

it really needed to happen. looks great! thanks!

Sweet

So much easier now since 90% of the time I'm using my phone.

Good work David. Thanks.

Removing the left column helps a lot.... Its great btw I'm using iPhone 4s

Looking good on the Galaxy S III.

Thanks David, looks great on my galaxy s2

Great work, David! Thanks!

Works awesome now! Thank you!

Looking good on my Windows Phone! [HTC Trophy]

Ironically it worked just fine on my phone before and is way temperamental now.

Thank u David. That side tab. Was Really getting annoying. When trying to type on the iPhone 4gs. You did a great job. You guys should come out with a phone app 2. Nice work.

Did you put the alert moderator on the middle too?

Can you provide more detail on what you are seeing and or post a screen shot?

Ah you're talking about that expand plus-sign menu right? Yeah now you have to click the + sign for it to expand so hopefully it won't obscure typing for you now.

Not on purpose actually- it looked like that because I made the post body column fixed-width now so that a large image will no longer stretch the border to the right and make posts harder to read on a thread. But yeah I moved it now to the bottom so it looks less out of place.

Looks good on my HTC Vivid....great work David.

desktop view Q? ..... it appears that people's signatures are cut off via desktop view. is anyone else having this issue.

Not really any issue just an observation

Hope the site is awesome when I get a new phone. My phone is a piece of crap that shuts down when I get on the internet. It drains the battery.

^^I took a look and it took out pretty much all the thread links from the main page, so yeah no go- thanks though.

No problem, just tryin to help

Bump. David is there anyway I can keep my account logged in? Every Time I visit the forum, I have to log in every time and there's no "remember me" box I can tick. It's just really annoying because I only use my phone to check the forum.

FreaKeyy I don't have much control over that because the IP on a mobile phone can change frequently, which will mean that the system will think that it is a new login situation. But if on mobile (or desktop) your IP does not change, I have implemented a new improvement where everyone will stay logged in longer now. If you or anyone has any issue with this change, please let me know.
