one request for the boards. Being able to "ignore/hide" a catagory. Personally i hate seeing "Team Recruitment" threads :)

Voting and posting work just fine.

Looks like the mobile version is now usable enough to actually use full-time. Nice job!

Previously, I rarely used it because it was too much work to switch back and forth between the two every time I wanted to interact with a thread.

Also, I might mention that I'm using Firefox on a Samsung Galaxy S5. No problems so far.

Yah, we know. We were trying to get pieces of it out so you guys could give feedback. It wasn't actually complete until now. We hope you all feel like you had a hand in the dev process (because you did!)

The Boards team is doing work! Making it much easier to access the boards for me thanks team.

Now if only I could see the OP on my mobile phone. Its been like this for days and it makes reading on my phone ridiculous. Please fix asap riot!

Pool Party NasusAug 19, 20152 votes

Yes, please fix the missing OP and additional posts.

The bug only appears in Safari for me. Using Google Chrome for iOS fixes it, but it's not convenient because I prefer Safari. I got an iPhone 6.

Sorry, not sure what you're referring to here. If this is a bug report, could you provide a screencap and a link to the post that's giving you trouble so we can look into it?

Pool Party NasusAug 19, 20152 votes

Sure thing. Right now, when I browse the Boards on mobile on Safari, I can only see the title of the posts, and not what is actually inside them. I can however see the pictures attached to the post, but no text at all. I also can't see any comments beside the first one.

You'll find a screenshot below.

Pool Party NasusAug 19, 20152 votes

And here is the comment section. If I click "show more", it puts me back at the top of the page. Without expanding anything or showing comments.

Can you check to see if you have javascript enabled?

Pool Party NasusAug 19, 20152 votes

Yes, Javascript is enabled. The boards were working fine before. That only started a few days ago.

RasCaelestisAug 21, 20151 votes

It happens to me too. Here's a screenshot from another thread. Refreshing the page usually fixes it, but it's still a giant pain.

There have been a number of posts about this for the past week or so in the Boards Feedback forum. You posted on one or two of them but didn't ever come back.

Sorry about that~ I have read the posts, we are just working on the problem and I've been trying to get as much detail as possible. We believe we have a solution, however. It is related to Safari and how it handles Incognito browsing. We should have more info out soon.

Thanks for your patience :x

Thanks for the update!

BatteryDeadAug 20, 20152 votes

Yaaaay. I can post from my bed now!

NefasAug 18, 20151 votes

I'm still having trouble seeing OP (just see a blank box) and showing more comments (clicking show more just redirects me to the top) on my iPhone, in both mobile boards and normal boards modes.

Great if you're in the lavatory and need something to do.

Aww man, I love to insert icons (and just to look at the list of champions/items). I guess I can still use the full site.

SeraphniteAug 20, 20151 votes

Praise Baconhawk! (and her team) the boards are fixed. I can see the OP!!

It'd be nice if we could spectate from the app while on our phones.

Will you look into doing things like remove the background image to load the page faster? Just seems to be some unneeded bloat still.

So I just noticed today on phones it seems to be missing the report option on the opening post and shows everywhere else.

I was using samung S4 mini on firefox if it's relevant.
