You're just holding it wrong.

Steve.

LOL


It does feel different though. Never knew you could slide the news titles (never needed that )

[Shane Nokes]

Sounds like Steve is planning a re-brand called iWin

Wouldn't it be possible to provide sort of an option? I think it's annoying to have to swipe over titles ten times to be able to read them. Having them wrapped just allows me to scroll down the page (which is a lot smoother).

I never understood why Timan and the others were so opposed to just having the titles wrap

[+djdanster]

It's been scrollable for months....

Rotate your phone on its side, you'll get the complete headline and the excerpt of the story.

Here's a better idea, stop ruining the mobile skin and put it back as it was yesterday. Who the hell wants to have to scroll every news item just to read the title, it's just dumb. Also, why should we have to change how we choose to browse? I prefer my phone in portrait mode for browsing and I'm not changing that for one site.

Like i said before, nothing has been changed mobile. The last update which BROUGHT the scrolling headlines was done in June. So if you're not happy with the mobile version that we graciously provide, feel free to use the desktop version. This is how its designed to be, you can't make everyone happy but this is how it will remain.

Just pretend its metro?

Like I said, new phone here so no cache issues, yet the skin was not like this 2 days ago. Clearly, you DID change something, and others on this thread seem to agree.

Oh, and nice bit of support there... Not.

Odds are you would probably have more luck if you tried asking nicely.

[FloatingFatMan]

I did; then he got rude and arrogant, which is no way to talk to your users.

[Shane Nokes]

No...he explained that it has been this way for months...which is a fact. I'll stop here though...since we'll just end up having the same argument and you'll call me rude and arrogant by the end of it.

[FloatingFatMan]

IF it were a fact, then can you explain why a 1 month old device, using the mobile skin, was showing wrapped headlines instead of the scrolling ones, up until 2 days ago? Things like that just don't happen without someone changing something first.

[Shane Nokes]

Can't explain it. However I can verify that the change did happen months ago. Every single mobile device I own has shown the new version for months.

Maybe just something weird with your particular device like a rendering bug where it was showing the landscape view on portrait.
