[Bug Report] This forum style is still impracticle on mobile.

Yes, yes, I know "its going to be fixed soon". That is still time I can't access league forums like I normally did before the transition. The complete unprofessional push onto this forum that is still in ALPHA in my opinion is completely out of line of riots standards of customer service. The excuse of Vbulletien and a need for more posters on this style to test, is unacceptable considering the fact that a large majority of users (REALLY DISLIKE BOARDS) can not access this website anymore due to what ever programming that makes it inconsistent with mobile applications. The complete lack of forethought on this issue is a direct failure of the forum team that made boards. Tamat and Pendragon I am looking at you on this one.

Now that rant is out of the way, lets talk about the main point I want to make here. There is nothing we can do about it until riot decides something should be done. Yes I like to foot stamp and yell, but another poster has suggested I make a post on the matter, so I am taking him up on that offer.

So here is for you constructive posters already plotting the snide remarks and "Soon" replies.

I want this to be a comprehensive list of Mobile devices and the bugs associated with them.

My main three are:

Motorolla Xoom Tablet: The inability to succesfully log in due to onscreen keyboards. This has been my biggest frustration I have found. It also doesn't pertain directly to this device alone and I know many others will claim this issue.

HTC One: Red posts when clicked consume the entire screen, as do many other links to the left. They force you to reload and will occasionaly log you out for no apparent reason when doing so, or just make the board dissapear entirely. General crashes of the android browsing system are relatively common as well.

Samsung Galaxy One: I have this as a temp phone right now, waiting for my HTC One to be sent back to me, but this one is particularly glaring in the fact that it won't load any discussions. You are lucky to get the OP's post every now and then, but under no circumstances or attempts have I EVER gotten one single comment to load.

With Love,

Your friendly* board hating poster,

A Major Pain.

*All attempts of association to be taken as being friendly are at your own risks and liabilities. Any attempts to agree with me will more than likely be met with contempt.

Yeah, these boards are worse than Teemo And it doesn't help with the Riot moderator wannabes everywhere. I feel your pain brother.

Sony Xperia Z Ultra (Kitkat, Chrome): Everything is tiny. The vote arrows are barely big enough to tap and accidentally clicking on a poster's name instead of a thread happens all the time, unless I zoom in. It is just big enough to be usable, and that's on 6.4 inch "phone". Reminder that the much more popular iPhone 5S is 4.0 inch.

Well, unless I quote a post. Then I suddenly get gigantic text in my face.

Can't delete part of a quoted post because moving the selection handle up doesn't scroll the text up.

Loading pages over a slow connection sucks because it loads the text last and often gets stuck loading the page frame and usernames and nothing else. Unlike any other timeout, this doesn't result in a warning from Chrome and doesn't auto reload the page later. Also, a lot of the time, the post button does nothing and it sits there until the page gets unloaded by the browser and the text is gone.

It keeps loading the wrong board and refresh doesn't help. You have to go back, let it load again (over a slow connection), then tap it again and hope for the best.

If I open the champion icon picker, it opens fullscreen with the edges off the screen and no way to cancel out without choosing any champion you can click.

The login box appears partially behind the keyboard and if you zoom in it scrolls off the screen altogether.

Very heavy pages - with just Spotify and Skype open in the background, juggling 3 forum pages unloads one.

Keeps logging me out randomly (which involves eating my post) because logging in on a phone is super happy fun.


Xiaomi Hongmi (MIUI5, stock browser): Loads, then immediately refreshes into a blank page unless I very quickly press stop, in which case nothing on the page is clickable.
