Brandon H Supervisor Posted August 26, 2014 Supervisor Share Posted August 26, 2014 as I was using the new front page on my phone for the first time today I noticed that there's no was to quote, reply, report, or like comments on articles edit: and since it's on the same subject. on the full view the quote, reply, & like options don't have a hover overlay (the report button does though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timan Veteran Posted August 26, 2014 Veteran Share Posted August 26, 2014 Hmm, I'm getting hover styles on desktop for those buttons. Can anyone else confirm this issue? I'll look into adding more buttons to mobile, but the last one didn't have them either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll look into adding more buttons to mobile, but the last one didn't have them either. no. i'm talking about the text overlay that appears when hovering the icon (aka text appearing next to cursor) hover your cursor over reply then over report. you'll see what i mean edit: tooltip. that's the word I was looking for. that's what is missing from the buttons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timan Veteran Posted August 26, 2014 Veteran Share Posted August 26, 2014 Ahh tool tips. Will get those added in a few. Good spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timan Veteran Posted August 26, 2014 Veteran Share Posted August 26, 2014 Just pushed another update to address most of this. Only reply on mobile (no room for the other buttons, plus you don't need to quote imo). Also made the other buttons visible on desktop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Praetor Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 on Opera mobile (android version) it isn't possible to see comments on the news articles. also the header is just messed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timan Veteran Posted August 26, 2014 Veteran Share Posted August 26, 2014 Can you take a pic, and tell me exactly what version of opera (not really supporting this browser, but will try to fix it if I can). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McKay Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Can we have a "desktop mode" link? I just dislike mobile websites and always try to use the desktop version. The option in Chrome does nothing anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timan Veteran Posted August 27, 2014 Veteran Share Posted August 27, 2014 Can we have a "desktop mode" link? I just dislike mobile websites and always try to use the desktop version. The option in Chrome does nothing anymore. Its a responsive/adaptive site, so there is no mobile or desktop version. The page adapts to your device/window size.

Stokkolm Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Forum spy link doesn't send you to the correct page on mobile. It seems you to the desktop spy page which doesn't load any content, just header and footer. The old mobile site had the new content link which at least worked even though it was static content.

Lord Method Man Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Its a responsive/adaptive site, so there is no mobile or desktop version. The page adapts to your device/window size. So I'm stuck with the crappy mobile layout even though I have my phone's browser set to Desktop mode specifically so I can avoid mobile website layouts. Basically you're circumventing the features of my phone and forcing the mobile layout whether I want it or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically you're circumventing the features of my phone and forcing the mobile layout whether I want it or not. i think it goes to the normal layout in landscape mode. but that's about it edit: never mind looks like that was changed to also show the mobile design Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Gibs Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 on Opera mobile (android version) it isn't possible to see comments on the news articles. also the header is just messed up.Works fine for me. Can you take a pic, and tell me exactly what version of opera (not really supporting this browser, but will try to fix it if I can).It uses the same blink engine as chrome. Its a responsive/adaptive site, so there is no mobile or desktop version. The page adapts to your device/window size.So I cannot reply to someone else's comment, or quote that comment...and I'm forced to use it. Why not add a couple of links like "Q" (for quote) and "R" (for reply). It's small, won't take up too much space and makes functionality significantly better.

Is it possible to add an option to not be adaptive? I like the same website I get on my desktop across all my devices. Plus it gives me the exact same view on my tablet as my phone. 1 giant picture and 2 headlines. As he just said, there is no "mobile". It's all one page. Yes he said its not a separate page, however its still a mobile layout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astropheed Veteran Posted August 27, 2014 Veteran Share Posted August 27, 2014 Basically you're circumventing the features of my phone and forcing the mobile layout whether I want it or not. He's actually utilising the features of your phone. "Desktop Mode" does nothing other than report a desktop user agent. If you have issue, it should be with your mobile browser and not with Neowin's ability to respond to your device width. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
