Howdy!
As you may have seen, we've updated the Boards to better support access and readability in mobile browsers. We hope you get a chance to check it out and post any feedback (or bugs...) here :)
Thanks for taking the time to check it out, and we hope you like it!

SEKAI9 votesMake the site remember the toggle setting between the original view and the mobile view, like what you've done with sortings? That would be nice.
Loading every single page twice because I have to press the "Switch to full site" gets annoying after a while.
RiotRiot Baconhawk2 votesHi there!
We understand this is frustrating. We are looking at options for switching. Curious though, what's your Boards usage look like that you need to reload every page in full view? Do you not prefer the mobile view?

Hi there!
We understand this is frustrating. We are looking at options for switching. Curious though, what's your Boards usage look like that you need to reload every page in full view? Do you not prefer the mobile view?
We just want to be able to upvote/downvote and comment as we go along. The boards don't have that many features to begin with, so taking away pretty much everything is kind of... stupid. We come to the boards to interact and comment, not to just read everything.
Cynicatt7 votesI don't like it, honestly, it's kind of counter-intuitive. I like to respond to things and upvote as I scroll, now with this version I have to hit the link at the top of the page to view the full site every time I load a new page. And if I didn't hit that link and scroll down and see something I want to respond to, I have to scroll all the way back to the top to hit that link.
I'm not going to ask you to get rid of it, but I would like it to save my preference of mobile or full site so I don't have to hit this extra link on every page.
The load time is exactly the same on mobile and full site versions, so I'd say at current the mobile version is a tad superfluous.
One thing I did notice is that the site's login process changed recently. I assume you did that for mobile? If so, thank you. Login on mobile was a pain before that change.
Athenes Lulu5 votesHm, it's really neat that you guys are getting somewhere on the Mobile version of the site. I mean, I know it's still WIP in general, but I hope you are taking feedbacks carefully as well. So far...
The Pros:
The Cons (and possible suggestions):
I hope this sums up pretty much everything.
High52 votesYeah, no voting makes the mobile far less valuable. The font is also too large on the mobile version. The wrap is good, but on my Note, the site looks like it was built for my father.
Edit: After further use, the mobile site shouldn't have been released. It lacks features and the swtching mechanic is poor design that hampers the entire experience. This isn't tbe polished experience I expect from Riot.

Deep Terror Nami4 votesAwesome work you all are putting into the Boards lately! I don't usually bother browsing the web on a mobile device, but still, having it available is nice.
I do, however, still want the old Navigation bar back to its old and significantly superior functionality.
RiotRiot Baconhawk7 votesWe had a chat with the team that makes the bar at the top. They are doing things.
Kürama3 votesGroovy.

BLU Medic4 votesYou should have waited until posting was finished. A mobile discussion board on which YOU CAN'T ACTUALLY DISCUSS is incredibly stupid. Also, the View Desktop Site is one of THE main functionalities of a mobile site and you couldn't even get that to work. It's literally one cookie that needs to be added.
Also, copied from my thread: I cannot tell if I am logged in. I cannot make new posts or threads. I cannot upvote or downvote. I cannot see upvotes or downvotes. The View Full Site link has no cookie so you keep on getting put back on the mobile site. The menu scrolls you down to the bottom of the page. It should be a hovering menu. The site isn't 100% wide, there's empty columns down the side, no matter the screen orientation. The main site needs a View Mobile Site button. The site should go straight to mobile and change to the mobile site or not, according to the user's cookies and settings. View Full Site and the name of the board you're in are far too close together - it's very easy to miss-click. Mobile site loads slowly, not much better than the full site. The page will often load in bits. Many a time I clicked on a menu item, only to be redirected elsewhere because something else loaded. The hamburger menu should open up a floating UL positioned above the main content, rather than directing you to the bottom of the page.
RiotRiot Baconhawk4 votesThings are updated! We now present Boards on Mobile v3!

Please feel free to drop us any comments or thoughts here, and thanks for all the feedback so far!

OhBoyItsaMegaman3 votesOption to switch to Full Site that persists
Thanks for this, it is the only feature that I need a mobile site to have.
ManiacalCoin3 votesI just went on my phone to see how it looked and it looks great on a phone with a big screen (I have a Galaxy S4) so great work guys! no more 
for me when i try to go on mobile
ArkenStorm3 votesHey thanks for this, makes it easier to see :D
ModCaptainMårvelous3 votesI'm not even happy about the mobile boards.
I'm ecstatic about the hamburger!
Phoenix Kotori 3 votesomg I can actually login and read stuff without having to zoom on stuff on my phones, thanks rito!
DrCyanide3 votesI look forward to using this extensively! I tested this slightly on the PBE Boards, and it was so nice not to constantly be clicking on the wrong thing!
Some things I'm noticing are conspicuously missing, even from a Read-Only mode:
I realize as I was looking through the mobile site that the "# new" is taking up that space. Out of curiosity, does anyone here look at that? I think the most functionality it has for me is reminding me I visited that thread on a different device.
Edit: I've noticed one big problem. Due to not being able to vote/see votes, when I open a thread I almost always try and click the "Switch to Desktop View". On many threads (especially longer ones with longer load times), me taping the screen coincides with the page banner loading, shoving the content down and making me press the board name instead, yanking me away from the thread.
ofc2000alex3 votesI'm not sure I like this new mode, since it forces you to choose "go to full site" (not verbatim) on every single page, but I like that you guys at riot are addressing some issues for mobile users! I'm looking forward to more steps forward in regards to the forums. Down with runeglave in every lane!
blkKalameet3 votesLooks ok so far. But there are some problems
The menu button shluld be a drop down menu, not a redirection to the bottom of the page. That redirect is just sloppy and bothersome.
The whole thing should have been delayed tell it was closer to being finished. Theres no mobile login, no way to interact with the board, and even the display of the board is missing information as noted by previous comments.
Im happy you are finely putting out a mobile friendly version, but there is no point to forcing us to deal with it tell it is actually useable.
Silverling3 votesAlright, I got a few more little dealies to throw at ya, Baconhawk!
So, the little button on the top left of the page that you're supposed to poke to get to the forum navigation? The one that's three little beige bars? Another potentially OCD thing, but I feel like it should be moved to the top left of the page.
http://i.imgur.com/8NrKt94.png
Alternatively, instead of having all the sidebar navigation at the bottom of the page, you can have it so we can scroll left in order to see all those links. But that's not really necessary, just something to contemplate.
Also there seems to be a lot of wrong thread loading for me. I tend to sift through threads before the page is completely and 100% loaded, which is probably the reason. It seems like its fairly easy for it to pick a thread above or below the one I actually wanted to poke at. There seems to be a few little things that load just after the rest of the page to cause things to shift around just enough for me to miss the actual link for what I want to view, if that makes sense... Namely the navbar, as well as the new post notifications on threads.
Another thing, I think the font might be a little too big for posts as well.
http://i.imgur.com/C3dnj8l.png
That's as zoomed out as I can get, btw. I imagine this looks fine on larger screened phones, but on mine I kinda wish I could zoom out just a little bit more. Might need to do some aspect ratio adjusting for us people who like to live in the past and use Galaxy s3's still. d=
And I am also, unfortunately, going to have to express my annoyance with the default forced read only mobile nonsense. Its cool and great for maybe an opt in testing sort of thing, but as some one who also likes to post while on a phone it gets a little annoying to have to switch to the main site on every page. I'm sincerely hoping this was a temporary dealy and not something we need to stick through till you guys implement posting features. .__.
I can do without the upvotes and such just yet(though wouldn't mind having them) but the lack of posting makes it hard to enjoy the feature to its fullest potential.
I do understand that testing and receiving feedback is a necessary process for stuff like this, but I would also recommend having the option to keep the desktop page and leave the read only stuff for opting in.
Legacy of Xion3 votesHi, major mobile user.
I hate tapping "full view" every damn time. I hate the fact I have to do that to already do the long, roundabout way to get to the Roleplay section. I use mobile so regularly, I use it more then my computer due to real life.
Please allow me to opt out.

MrJanglez3 votesYes finally i could read them on the go. Thank you Riot.
Griefer2 votes3/20 its gabeeedge.
RiotRiot Baconhawk3 votesCould you provide some actionable feedback? Also, I'd be interested in knowing what mobile platform you're using.
Griefer3 votesHey there!
I just find the overall interface to be lacking. You can't upvote, can't reply, and overall I find myself using the desktop. It doesn't give you the basic functionalities that a mobile site should provide.
Also one thing that really bugs me, everytime you click on something, it makes you use the mobile version. So if I have multiple threads opened at once, I have to manually click to use the desktop.
I'm currently on the Chrome app, iPhone 6.
KING ATTILA2 votesThis mode is garbage. Please use your resources and time on stuff that actually matters -.-
moomoomilkUwU2 votesBecause Riot only has one development team and they only work on one thing at a time, so they obviously don't have enough resources/time to do this. Kappa.
RiotRiot Baconhawk4 votesWe are a small team and just want to make stuff better for people who use the Boards. We want to include you in the dev process so we have released an early, and definitely not polished or perfect, version, in order to get your feedback.
But yeah, hang on, let me go work on my new champion/build globally-scaled server farms/implement NA internet backbone/paint new skins/do finance work/balance items...

SmokedAlmonds2 votesI have a galaxy note 4 and I do like the landscape view. But Id like to be able to look at it portrait to see more threads at a time and despite the fact that screens are twice as tall as it is wide in portrait I only go from being able to see 5 threads to 6. For some reason the boarder around the boards is actually BIGGER on the sides in portrait mode even though you have much less horizontal realestate. Really I would like to see that empty space mostly if not all removed from both views. Vote counts need to be lowed to the line instead of being vertically centered so that threat titles can extend over top of it it. Pictures previews need to be shrunk or removed all together(id love an option to disable them even on the normal web version as well).
Definitely positive steps though, especially the login and notifications.
Keppa2 votesI think it would be best to disable the mobile view until I can actually do things on it. Please for the love of god, I have to press the switch to full site almost every page.
steampig3 votesI think it would be best to disable the mobile view until I can actually do things on it. Please for the love of god, I have to press the switch to full site almost every page.
If mobile was disabled, then we wouldn't be able to provide feedback on it. It not working properly and us being stuck with it is an intended feature, and they will be fixing it as time progresses.
Big Bang Bob2 votesI would like to take a second to compliment you for choosing such an epic name. :)
OhBoyItsaMegaman2 votesThere isn't a single thing that I like about the mobile version. I want the same experience on my phone that I have on my desktop.
You'd have to make all of these things just like the full site in order for me to use the mobile version, and even then, what advantage is there?
RiotRiot Baconhawk1 votesThanks for posting your feedback. :)
But as I have said multiple times, this is an iterative process whereby we are taking into account your feedback as we develop. This is by no means a finished product, and have never said it was.
Check back here shortly -- we've got an update on PBE and another in the pipeline, addressing many common comments and requests :)
xGarzilla1 votesSo why do you insist on forcing an unfinished product on us when we are clearly unhappy with the way it is working currently.
I understand you need feedback and all, but why not wait until it's near the final stages to put it out and make tweaks from there.
I just don't understand the, "you will use this 25% done product and like it" attitude you are giving off.
RiotRiot Baconhawk3 votesI'm sorry you think that way. We wanted to give you the opportunity to tell us what you liked and disliked during development, and thus this becomes a joint effort. Of course, it won't be right at first -- in fact, far from it -- but this way we can hear your thoughts and opinions and go from there, rather than shipping a fully-featured thing with minimal visibility on your part.

Come on...it isn't THAT bad. It isn't perfect, but you don't have to use it at all. It's not like you can play the game on mobile, so you obviously have a computer if it is this frustrating. If they shipped a barely working game or game feature, I would understand, but this is a website that welcomes feedback on why it sucks and they are trying to consider the feedback and adjust accordingly.
exiledFromBadmen2 votesBacon, you're a person should have some kind of a kindness award <3
Only Faker Zed2 votesHey, some ideas to improve your mobile boards!
Able to see upvotes! I can see which post is at the top, with most likely the most amount of upvotes, but I think it would be even easier if there was actually a number, or a possibility to upvote that post or thread! (Possibly there is a way, but I have not logged in to the mobile site.)
Another thing is the amount of views a thread has received. It is not possible to actually see this fact without changing to "Full Site" mode, along with upvotes. Its a pain to actually change between the mobile site and full site, otherwise, it would be useless to actually have a mobile site, if the critical points of a thread is not there.
Another thing that could be possible is an actual mobile app, I'm sure it won't be that tough to be made since you have a broad and large group of coders at Riot. This however can be incorporated along with an in-game application, which should not be that hard since there is already one online, yet unofficial.
patmax172 votesfirst, thanks for the mobile boards, I'm finally able to enjoy boards when I'm on the way to work :)
Are you going to implement rioter roundown? I wasn't able to find it when I read Morello's AMA

BLU Medic1 votesAny word on when the mobile site will be actually functional?
Because I can no longer use the LoL boards on mobile. The current state of it has absolutely ruined the mobile use of this site.
RiotRiot Baconhawk1 votesIt has been 4 days. We are still working on it. We just released Red Tracker and User Profile support. We understand certain features may be lacking for certain users, but we wanted to develop it with your feedback in mind. And don't worry, we haven't forgotten about the Mobile/Full site toggle.
