I figured it wouldn't work. I was really hoping it would though. I remember another member having an issue with the mobile app. It may be a bug that needs to be fixed by IPB.

Recent mobile forum update didn't enable an ability to jump to a specific page as was expected. However, I am glad that the main page is getting some love.

One question though: does information that isn't actionable (at least on iPhone) need to be displayed for every story? Things like tags, bubble with count of comments, even story author cannot be actioned unless drilled into each story.

Also, notice a small glitch with drawing of the Facebook like count bubble as per screenshot below. Probably Facebook's fault like just about anything these days.

Wonderful job, much better looking than the previous version but since the previous version a while ago. I just have one question; I'm using an Xperia Arc (which runs on Android) and when I use the default browser, everything is great. But when I use opera mobile, it forces me to click the "View Image" link to see the pictures. Is this intentional? It's been like this since 2 versions back and I was just hoping it was a bug.

Will try it,, always preferred the mobile site on the iPad ( more touch friendly ) but missing functionality of full site ( expected )

Edit - nice, same as the last mobile site before update,, looks little different, and the editing of posts/navigation is better

If you're referring to Mini (not Mobile) then it would make sense if it was intentional. Saves on data use. On Mobile, probably not.

Nice to see the site rendering just fine on Mini by the way :)

You're right that it would make sense on the Mini, but I am referring to the Mobile version.

It works on my forum though, it might be that the settings on Neowin disallow the API. (you can actually disable the iOS app from connecting to a forum, I'll have to test it when I get home. )

Looks very nice! At this point I've been using the desktop version on my Xoom since the Pegasus update (since the default mobile was attrocious) and haven't found a reason to go back to the mobile site, but when I'm stuck using my phone, it will be an absolute pleasure to be using the mobile site again. Very, very good work! Can't wait for the forums to be updated as well. I will miss mobile darkside, but I can easily get over that since, as I mentioned, I don't get on the mobile site very often.

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By seacaptain · Posted

      Why? Does anybody actually want this? The constant need to close all browser sessions and wait for a new version to install, just so that there’s a integrated coupon manager feels like a waste of everyone’s time

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By zikalify · Posted

      Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates by Paul Hill Microsoft has just announced that starting with Edge 152, it will be moving to a two-week release cycle for faster, smaller updates. This faster release cadence will begin on August 27. This change comes just several months after Microsoft switched Visual Studio Code to weekly updates. The company said that the Extended Stable releases will remain on an eight-week cycle and that no admin changes are needed to experience the faster release cycle on the Stable channel. The new two-week release cycle will enable the faster delivery of security updates and platform improvements, all while reducing the size and complexity of individual updates. Microsoft claims that organizations will benefit from this change as it offers predictable validation cycles. For organizations that prefer a “more deliberate pace”, the Extended Stable channel remains an option. This change will affect Edge Stable releases on Windows, macOS, Linux, and mobile. The Extended Stable channel will continue to be updated every eight weeks, or every fourth Stable release, for example: versions 152, 156, 160, and 164. The Extended Stable could be a good option for organizations that don’t want the latest updates twice a month and don’t want as much hassle constantly updating browsers. In the case of Visual Studio Code, many of the updates being pushed by Microsoft are AI-related. As we all know, Microsoft Edge has a lot of AI features, so we could see Microsoft pushing more AI, thanks to the faster cycles. On the flip side, quicker releases could mean faster security updates, which is beneficial in a world where AI systems are hunting for software exploits. What do you think? Let us know in the comments. For more updates on Edge, be sure to follow Neowin's coverage. In May alone, we reported on Edge offering in-browser pop-ups to assist users with website compatibility issues, that Edge was losing Copilot Mode, and that Microsoft had fixed a plain-text password bug in Edge.

      not yet, because at the moment it is not a threat to MS, if and I mean if it did become a threat to MS Office, then it may be a different thing. MS don't like competition
