Mobile Browsing Needs an Overhaul - Spooky - 04-28-2021

Hey SL , I know the majority here uses the Desktop view so you probably won’t care what the site looks like on Mobile.

But if you are a Mobile User like myself then you’ve probably wondered where exactly are the Displayed Group UserBars or Awards/Items.
In my opinion the whole point of having any of those things is to flex them when posting. I wasnt even aware that SL had Groups until I checked out the Desktop View.

AND we don’t get to see the forums daily goals!

Will Mobile Users ever get some love on SL?

This is actually by design, as with the userbars/details you'd end up scrolling about 2x as much. We might be able to include some details or the userbar, but not all. Due to people with average/lower resolution devices it's not practical to show all information.

that makes sense if it were to eat up all the screen space and not wanting to add any of those on. but what is the harm in adding on a different ‘board style’ that be could be completely optional and not mandatory?

its just that mobile users are put at a disadvantage when it comes to viewing ANY profile details , and requires you to click on the profile to view any.
ex: post count, rep, currency etc

I do think it would be good to include at least some of that stuff. Even if it was just userbars On threads and the forum goals at the bottom of the home page? I use mobile a couple times a day and do miss some of those features. The awards are less needed I think, and those can often be what takes up the most space. (Especially on my profile lol).

If @Oni was willing to add any of these I’d be happy. Even if it were just the userbars, or just awards etc.
