Killoneworld Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Hello, I'd love that user links and breadcrumb are not placed in a secondary menu: http://prntscr.com/40culv http://prntscr.com/40crn1 I'd love the same thing on XenForo (user links and the breadcrumb remains at the same place and are well positioned for mobile): http://prntscr.com/40ct94 I really don't like the black secondary menu for mobile... I'd really like to have as on XenForo. Support this topic if you also would like to have the same thing. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan H. Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Your example screenshot is 450px wide. The vast majority of phones are 320px wide or smaller in portrait mode (I don't know of any that draw more). That's... very little room. Trying to pack so many links into so little space would make for a cluttered header and terrible user experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The touch areas are too small as well. It looks like a desktop site that's been brute forced into something that vaguely resembles a responsive design.

Why developers have chosen to do that and not otherwise? And should you review what is the responsive design. The responsive design must keep elements as on full resolution, but in small resolution. XenForo is the best example that I can give. I do not agree with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not agree with you. The responsive solution for Xenforo was shoehorned into a recent release. An elegant and well executed responsive solution needs to be built from the ground up ideally mobile first & progressively enhanced. I can see quite clearly that this is not the case with the Xenforo solution. I don't know the intricacies of the IPS4 development cycle but I can say for sure that it was built from scratch with responsive design in mind.The responsive design must keep elements as on full resolution Yes, which is exactly what the IPS4 design is doing. It's simply reorganising - not removing. Having worked as a responsive webapp & mobile developer for the last two years of my life, I can say with confidence that the majority - if not all well made responsive websites & webapps do the same :smile:. Here are some examples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are some examples. Why am I a person who likes simplicity? I so love how it is structured on XenForo... You are surely right, because you have a better experience than me in this sort of thing, but I really prefer the XenForo structure for this. For the "Forums", "Download" links, etc. it is perfect, but I would like to just that the user links remain in the same place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
