Edit: Just seen the link to go back to desktop version (thank God, I can do my smilies again now)

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?

For example I might be reading through a 12 page thread but I want to read from page 5 because I read some earlier.

This seems to be quite a popular request, we'll look into it for a future version.

Which tablet do you use? Although the skin is not really intended for tablets we have tested it on iPad and android tablets with no issues.

I'm guessing its been mentioned already? But the ability to jump to the bottom/back to the top would be brilliant.
Also, if the arrows to move through the pages could be replicated at the top that would also be super.
And to somehow enable an ability to let us enter which page we want to go to would be excellent :-)

Overall, I like the mobile site. It's just a bit of a pain navigating through threads/posts on the forums.

Didn't really like the black & white layout, not functionality I know but I don't really like change
Clicking on a user then being able to see previous posts by them (apologies if this is there, I didn't hang around long enough before changing back).

As you've stated this is presumably for mobile phones and I was reading this on a tablet, so probably this doesn't apply.

[Darthchaffinch]

Not sure if its broken or not but the main site looks all over the shop on my nexus 7!

Having trouble editing a post I made on my mobile, I can't do it on my mobile and i'm unable to do it on my PC.

My post, logged in as me, the option just isn't there.

Probably brought up before but editing a message is a nightmare

[macsmurray]

A choice of colour scheme would be most welcome. For example white text on black for reading in low light.

I have just tried to click on mobile version on DS main page on my phone (at the bottom of page) and it comes up with error. Has done for a while. But now I can't even log into my account on the phone on a regular version of the website. Can you provide a link that I can use since I can't log in from the forum that I can type manually in the address bar?

[Minnimo]

Nevermind. Finally got it through a convaluded way!

[Minnimo]

Suggestion. Please add a subscribe button to be able to follow threads without posting nonsense

[PrincessEssex]

adding the option for page numbers
making it known if you have a pm

Isn't it time Digital Spy had a tablet-friendly setting?

i can get it to work on my N7 but it's not straight forward.

they've mixed two forms of behaviour, for hover and click. they are using hover behaviour but after a click.

so you click the search function and that activates hover behaviour on 'search' and on 'forum tools'. it's daft because of someone had wanted forum tools they wouldn't have clicked search.

it's really stupid.

on my tablet, my phone and every tablet i've ever used you click search, the search box comes up and the screen is resized to make the search box fill the screen, which causes it to lose focus and disappear, so you have to click it again.

i find it hard to believe this is part of vbulletin.

I keep getting an issue where the Virgin Media ad isn't loading properly and so the x button to close it won't function, I have to use browser Navigation to go back and load the page again.

[macsmurray]

Is there a way to disable the adverts on mobiles? (ESP iPhone) the Skyfall ad especially doesn't have a cancel option so you have to navigate back and refresh pages to get rid of it.

Haha - I came on here to say exactly the same - the Skyfall ad. This is a real problem.

I could be in the middle of typing something and it pops up, goodnight Vienna. These ads are generally too frequent and invasive.

If I recall correctly, we have a time limit in place for post editing to stop people going back after some time has passed to completely change the meaning of their post. This would happen across desktop and mobile versions of the forum.

to with my reply:

Probably something to do with the default vbulletin javascript used on the desktop skin. The mobile skin doesn't have a search option, yet...

Apologies, our ad team control these ads so we will need to report this to them. I'll ask them to investigate now.

I'm not sure why I was quoted in this context...I was saying I misses the pm notification from the old version.

Well thank you for taking the time to reply as always

One thing to note. I have been reading a few threads this morning and when I move from page to page 3/5 I have to refresh the page to bring up the thread content. Don't know if thats related to new forum or mess up with ads though.
