Can we please get an update on the mobile boards?

You can't report the original post in a thread. Viewing new posts in a thread you've recently viewed doesn't work most of the time, requiring you to refresh the thread, even after clicking into it, to finally view the new posts. Going to your updates then clicking "go to comment" often experiences a bug where no other posts are visible, and the page number links are missing, and even refreshing doesn't fix it most of the time. Sometimes, posts don't even show up at all. The page doesn't load any of the text aside from the title, and requires a refresh to try again.

Any plans to update the mobile site to fix some of these ongoing bugs?

Hi there,

Most of these are simply artifacts of the mobile experience. We had to cull a few features due to the fact the mobile screen just can't hold all the things. (Some things are also due to simple network issues and hiccups, such as body text not loading).

Also, we don't have any plans currently to work on the mobile experience further beyond bugfixes. The mobile boards don't reflect the functionality of desktop Boards 100%, but they have what's necessary for a functional mobile browsing experience.

That said, we definitely read and take your feedback into account, so keep it coming. :)

Hi Baconhawk

I access the boards from mobile most of the time, and there is a bug that really...bugs me (duh): in red tracker, when I click "show more posts", the additional posts get all buggy: quotes of the original post the rioter replied to are blank, and posts from GD aren't rendered correctly (quotes show as '>', with no indentation or newline, and it's not clear where the quoted text ends and the red post begins)

and then sooner or later we will have a mobile rioter rundown, too *_*

riot should heavily consider focusing on their mobile support, and applications. , sincerely both fans and the money we wish to throw at you.

from the ability to chat with friends, to viewing the boards, to accessing the shop, to buying real merchandise through application. and expanding in that direction (and optimizing these experiences**)

When you say " The mobile boards don't reflect the functionality of desktop Boards 100%, but they have what's necessary for a functional mobile browsing experience".

You are speaking about what you personally consider what a "functional mobile browsing experience" actually is, which may be subjective some people.

What do you say to people who disagree with what your personal/corporate position on what a "functional mobile browsing experience" actually is?

What degree of quality is necessary for you to consider something functional Riot?
