The boards are still absolutely crap on most Mobile devices.

"But OP you amazing beautful man, its still in beta....and they said its on a list"

I know these things. It still doesn't help the fact that many forum users are still being shat on and not allowed to access the forums like they used to because they didn't want to deal with GD anymore.

Logging in is a complete bitch, because of onscreen keyboards.

Editing a post is impossible because it spams you around the page.

Red tracker always disappear or hides from you as you try to scroll to it.

View comment sends you ALL OVER THE DAMN PAGE.

Once the website is done loading, it will send you to the comment rather than allow you to keep reading where you are if you happened to scroll thinking the page was done.

And god praise the day when you are actually able to click on one of the links to the left (You know the ones colored like a dogs steaming pile of crap after they ate a bag of banana skins?) with your thumbs, even though you are zoomed so large your grandma can see it from her grave.

It's complete incompetence in this day and age of technology. Why they thought it would be a good idea to shove this down the communities throat, I have no damn idea, but its pissing me off still to this day because of it. Yes GD, had problems. At least I could access the forums on GD. Yea I'm bitter, and boards sucks ass.

We aren't happy with how Boards works on mobile as well. This has been a huge point of feedback, and it's something we will improve, just not sure how soon that will happen at the moment.

The ONLY perk the boards have over the old forums (as far as mobile is concerned) is that you can undo an upvote/downvote.

I am on the forums on my phone quite a bit. I regularly hit the attachment button when I'm trying to click the Item button. I regularly click the post above the one I'm trying to click on, then click the Board Category of the one I'm trying to click on, before finally getting it to click on the right link. That whole process is made all the slower by the loading times.

You are spot on with logging in. You have to minimize the keyboard, click the user name field, type in your user name without being able to see what you're typing, repeat for password, and hope you have an easy Captcha that you can remember.

In a day and age where startup game companies have mobile versions of their forums, it's a wonder that Riot released an upgrade to their forums that doesn't have mobile support.

That said, mobile sites are tricky. I'm sure we've all been to a site where the mobile version cut out functionality to be easier to navigate, only to be frustrated when you ask your browser to switch to the Desktop version and it doesn't change. We don't want that extreme either.

Honestly, I think it'd be nice if I wasn't zooming in and out all over the place to try and read, hit a button, type, etc.

And god knows you'll need it because the arrows are microscopic.

Reads first 7 paragraphs. Nodding, ready to upvote.

Reads last 2 paragraphs. Really, OP? You expect to be taken seriously when you're comparing the nav colors to "a dogs steaming pile of crap"? okay.

If that's all it takes to devoid my previous points I'm glad I made it

Hyrum GraffFeb 2, 20152 votes

Your previous points are still valid, and I was a little annoyed when I read this, so fair 'nuff, downvote removed. But please forgive me for not wanted to upvote a dogs steaming pile of crap.

God forbid everything isn't measured in rainbows and unicorns. I'd rather the op speak their mind using their own words than fake some pseudo-intelluctual dribble to make sure no one reads their entire post only to hone in on one small insignificant comment and downvote even though they agree. Get off the high horse please, and deal with the fact that not everyone is going to word their posts as if they're sending out an email to the pope.

I'm glad the op isn't the type to go "oh I'm so sorry sir and or madam I'll change it right away to your liking" as so many are want to do when they're accosted by the word police.

Serve no useful purpose. Asking people to sugar-coat their words, and asking people to not be outright inflammatory (granted, this post isn't that bad) are different things.

OP and I have something of a history on Boards, and are actually on good terms in-game -- I wouldn't expect him to edit his post to please me :P

Tangentially related.

Came back to this topic and shocked I didn't clarify. I am in the animal science field and deal with animal crap quite often. On multiple occasions I have seen animals crap out bananas that look exactly like this color scheme.

They need an app. If I had the time and riot agreed to pay me I'd write one for them. Giving me all star Akali would earn them a nice discount.

Also, the most annoying thing ever is when you post a comment and it reloads a page with no comments. To fix that, you have to edit the URL and remove the bit after the "?". Tons of fun in a mobile browser.
