Why The Mobile Skin Is So Important

Actually, the way the Mobile skin works currently, or doesn't, IMO, and the lack of support for iPads and iPhones in the message editor, makes us lose a lot of traffic. And we are not using Adsense.

Kind regards, Wim

The problem is that it kinda works for a few users, and doesn't for most. It is also almost impossible for normal users, who expect a mobile device to work without fiddling, to e.g., reset or clear cache and history.

This apart from the renewed iOs problems on Apple devices.

I just wish the mobile skin was just a slightly downgraded skin for slower devices, like the older versions had in 1.3x etc., but then with pictures :). And a full editor!

Regards, Wim

4.0 will feature a responsive skin that automatically adapts to the viewing device's width/height, rather than relying on mapping to a specific list of supported devices.

In other words, the concerns you mentioned won't be relevant in the next major release - they will have been addressed. :)

Another piece of good news.

Responsive is better than making a whole new theme for mobile, half the links don't even work on the current one :P

For what it's work the links work just fine, if you are having issues please submit a support ticket and we can fix any issues.

Thank you

I am unsure what you mean, however with a responsive skin you basically have just one skin and it adapts the interface based on the viewing size. In other words, with 4.0 if a link to an area didn't work, it would affect both the regular desktop browser interface AND the mobile interface (because it's just one skin, one template, one link defined). You should see far far fewer inconsistencies between mobile browsing and desktop browsing as a result.
