This new mobile version is a vast improvement on the old one. It's clearer with bigger buttons etc and that also means u r more likely to get the desired link when touching the screen. The streamlined interface is also faster too. So for me on what I consider a poor HTC Android phone it addresses several limitations of the phone. We need more web sites to take similar steps and the Android interface could borrow a few of the ideas as well (not impressed by Android).
I don't see any improvements since you asked for comments.i prefer desktop because you can go straight to last page.also I like to see times and numbers .
Ok mine just changed today. Hate it. Did you really need to get rid of the other skin? It was soooooo much better. Im using the desktop now, but thats pretty hard to use....thats how bad the new skin/format is, that im resorting to using the desktop.
I dont get what was wrong with the one i had yesterday, seemed perfect to me.
With this new skin I can't open different pages each in a new tab using the Dolphin browser. Works ok with Opera Mobile. I have the same problem with The Register mobile site. It's handy being able to open each thread in it's own tab because I'm using a slow connection. I had no such problems with the old mobile skin. I'm using a Galaxy S Advance GT - I9070
Did you have to remove the other mobile skin? I hate this with barge a pole, I may like if more if the sections were in bold.
What additional sections would you like to see in bold? Sadly the old mobile skin had to go because it was actually really poor to use on many touch screens.

Out of curiosity, why do you think the old one was better? If there's anything useful missing I'm sure we can look to add it back.
Also I cannot click on the triangle to the right of the thread name which I presume links to the last new post.
Hi Mark, thanks for your posts.
Firstly, I'm not particularly familiar with the Dolphin browser, which phone is that on?
When you say you can't press the triangle is that because you're not using a touchscreen phone? The area immediately surrounding it should be clickable also and take you to the same place.
Ok the triangle button is working now though it takes you to the last page not the last post. Must have been my browsers playing up. The tab issue is still there though. The phone is a Galaxy S Advance GT-I9070 (as per my other post) and runs Gingerbread 2.3 Dolphin is an Android browser. It's quite popular.

Sorry, must have missed the part where you mentioned the phone type . Will see if I can get it tested on a similar phone shortly.
The arrow behaves like the similar arrows on old mobile skin and also desktop skin. It'll take you to the last unread page.

Thinking of the forum sections in bold instead of being in light black under forums, the only advantage I find with this skin that it flies very fast when changing threads, sections etc..

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.

How odd! Is it still doing this? If so, it may be that you need to clear your phone's cache & cookies.
Let me know how you get on.

Hey, could you expand on this a little? What parts aren't working and what phone do you use?

Cleared cookies and job done. Thank you.

Brilliant, glad it's now working

Every time I've clicked on one it's been because I thought the were links from the poster. Waiting for the lovely malware.
