I have allowed it to be collapsed until I can hide it on desktop

I think it is good like that, then people can have it showing if they want to or collapse it

I always us the desktop version on my mobile - I just prefer the layout of it, find it easy to navigate.
I haven't had any issues with it being slower either.
Not so sure how I feel about the new layout on my mobile as the new feature takes up nearly half the screen - that's just my opinion though

That's why I use the full version on my mobile. Not everything is available in the mobile skin so I would be switching. Plus I prefer the full layout. Some may prefer the strip down of the mobile but I find it removes info from view that I like to see.

@whispersshadow - Its not as simple as building a responsive design. The issue with vb and responsive is the number of templates and updates. The old forum had a totally custom theme and it was a complete nightmare everytime anything changed or we wanted to add a plugin. The best option is to switch it all to a forum that supports responsive design but thats a massive job :-(

I built the mobile theme to support mobile devices but it seems people are still using the desktop theme on their mobiles, thats not a problem and it will be easy to remove the sidebar on mobile when I get some spare time.

Thanks

Alex

Alex,

I have heard some people on here say they use the mobile skin. No idea what the split is, just didn't want you think you've wasted your time. All the work you do is very much appreciated.

Actually I like that as an option. I can expand my screen so the main frame doesn't get squidged up and always pull the new view over for a quick look. To be honest I never use any of the new threads filters but expanding this for a quick look is a really fast way.

Just a heads-up, Alex; I actually can't reply to forum posts on my phone since the changes - the grey text box comes up but not the white area to type into.

It works for me now! Couldn't post at all on this thread last night but just wanted to thank Carnation for thinking of me and my brick phone! I always use my laptop for NMP though..Brick phones are great to make calls and text though
