Mobile settings

Postby Andacantra » Mon Feb 27, 2012 9:42 am

On the mobile site, the full settings page is loaded (as in the main theme) and while the rest of the site is wonderfully adjusted to screen width, that page isn't. It's also another image that's not really needed. Any chance of a fix?

Could be fixed, yep, but I wonder if it's worth it, since although the page is wider than many mobile devices, it's not by much, and I find it easy to navigate (on an iPhone). To fit it within 320 pixels, it would need a total reworking, to put labels above text boxes rather than beside them. The graphic could easily be disabled, but it's only 50KB, and looks kinda nifty.

Also hardly anyone uses the mobile theme, and mobile screens get bigger every year. So I'm not sure if the cost (an unfamiliar Settings page for players, and an extra template that needs updating every time we change something) is worth the benefit.

Ah well, that's fair enough. It's a little thing that's not really worth a lot of effort. Thanks anyway :)

Well, I went ahead and did it anyway. A few mobile problems have built up over the months, so hopefully I fixed most of them.

Please let me know of any other mobile annoyances!

I've had an issue with the mobile theme for a while, but it is probably just my phone. Whenever I try to log in and use the wrong password, my phone totally freezes up and the only way to fix it is to remove the battery. I enter the wrong password a lot >.> It even happens after I clear my cache.

Anyways, it is probably my fault for having such a dumb phone. It doesn't happen on other sites though, so I figured I should report it. My phone is a Samsung SCH-R630.

This fault still stands, but the other changes are awesome. Thanks [violet]!
