Not sure if this is related to your changes or if my phone's gone mad but last night DS went absolutely tiny. It's a pain to read or reply because I have to enlarge everything each time I move from a page.
OK, two things I don't like about the new mobile skin is; that when reloading for example at the bottom of the page, the reloaded page stays at the top and does not jump to the last place you where, also I don't like having back and forward page buttons, give me a a couple of links to past page numbers.
I like it but when I choose 'Mobile Forums 2012' it changes but then if I click on any other thread it will change back to desktop view, even if I'm just replying
Edit: Checked other comments, cleared cookies and cache, problem solved, thanks love the layout even more now
The mobile forums haven't been working on Safari on my iPhone for a few days now. I've cleared the cookies and cache but the forums still revert to the desktop version with tiny text, the main site works fine as a mobile version but as soon as I click on the forums it turns to desktop. Any help?

Have you used the skin changer (towards bottom of page) to change to the mobile skin after clearing your cache/cookies? We have yet to put an autodetect on the forums for the mobile skin.

Will look into the page reloading issue shortly. Page numbers will need some further thought as the number choices was quite difficult to use on the old skin (and the thing most complained about!).

Are these in line adverts, that are not clearly labelled, or labelled at all, legal?
Every time I've clicked on one it's been because I thought the were links from the poster. Waiting for the lovely malware.
Guessing this isn't related to the mobile skin and the desktop version instead? As long as you are logged in you shouldn't see any green underline adverts on posts.
Oh yh sure. This one just seems too basic. The old one had a better layout, more stuff on it like how many posts were made in the thread, when a new post had been made in a thread the thread name would not be in bold anymore etc.
Some of that stuff was removed in order to aid with user experience throughout the skin - to allow the space to be better used for clicking and bigger text.
The new mobile site looks fabulous on my Nexus 7. However the Android 4.2 swipe to type function does not work when posting comments. Can that be fixed please?
Again, its the lack of s search function that deems the mobile version useless to me. How on earth can I comment on a particular tv program, a film or a certain thread etc if I cant find it in the first place ?
Oh no, just clicked on the link and now it's permanently changed to this mobile version. It's horrible, looks very bland and lots of functionality missing. I'm using an ipad so prefer using the website version - don't know why I clicked on it really, curiosity and all that.
Edit: Just seen the link to go back to desktop version (thank God, I can do my smilies again now:):D)
Is there any way to Put the next page/previous page arrows at the top of the page as well as the bottom? It's a pain to repeatedly scroll down a page, especially when it's been a very wordy page, when I want to continue where I was reading from. For example I might be reading through a 12 page thread but I want to read from page 5 because I read some earlier.

Hi,
Out of curiosity, apart from choice of smilies (which you can still do with the applicable codes) and perhaps search, what other features would you use that are missing?
Comments
ETA: Ignore above, clicked back a few pages and saw solution, d'oh!

Hmm, odd! Is it still doing it?

Can't do this on the mobile skin I'm afraid, it's designed to be a lightweight basicish version to help with load times.

Would like page numbers and last post details
There is a skin chooser drop down menu towards the bottom left that you can use to change to the mobile version
Thank u.
This would be great to see peoples problems , from car engines to boilers to hi fi's
