Notifications useless on mobile


Recommended Posts

Is there a particular reason why tapping Notifications via the "burger" slide-out menu doesn't actually show anything (on iPhone iOS 8.x Safari)? The only thing it seems to do is to is reset the count of notifications. The section itself links to www.neowin.net/notifications but going there via "tap and hold" shows a completely blank page.

 

Gremlins again?

The notifications currently use mouse hovers.

 

Since most touch devices don't allow hovering using touch, notifications don't work.

 

This applies to other touch devices (i.e. Windows tablets) also.

Then why have them in a mobile view when they cannot be actioned. It's nice to know that I have some notifications but, if I have to have another device in order to view them, they aren't much good.

I know I sound like a broken record, but all this will be fixed with IPB4. We have had to hack several things to work from the forums on main page for IPB3 and we've pretty much given up on doing anything more with it now.
