Suggestions from users/ discussion on new mobile format

[augustiron]

Hey mods
I see the old thread originally started about the "user experience" drowning in general so it seems like it is time to move a discussion here about feedback and suggestions on this format.

I am loving the new format and am switched over full time now, thanks.

One thing I'd like to see tweaked is the page numbers for multi page threads is really small and hard to tap when viewed in the subforum.

Otherwise so many good improvements for mobile users, thanks!

I'm pretty much sold on the responsive theme for mobile, though I'd still prefer a darker color scheme. The classic theme is still better for desktop IMO, and again a dark color ("night mode") scheme would be nice.

So perhaps a light text on a dark (or black) background?

Something like this maybe

While I have you here, can we PLEASE come up with some kind of hack to embed gfycat, streamable, and whatever other cool HTML5 stuff is out there?

It saves significant loading times compared to regular GIF.

Looking good!

Can you please make the link to the new format a sticky here in the website sub?
I had to dig back 3 pages in general to find it for my other mobile device.
Thanks.

You should still be able to see the dropdown for the style chooser at the bottom left of the page.

Yes! I'll let you know if I run across any issues

For the dark theme I'd like to see the "view first unread" icon the same or a similar blue as the forum header instead of red, and maybe a bit more contrast between the text of read and unread thread titles.
