    Get rid of this mobile site right now.

    This mobile version of the forums is horrible. I can barely navigate now, it's hard to even find the post button, the UI is terrible, and the text box fills the entire screen when typing, so you can't see the context of your posts.

    I don't know when this was added in, but it was a bad decision.

    UPDATE: Also am unable to see latest activity in a subforum. This was poorly designed, and worse, completely unneccesary. At least we've not been thrown out of the site again.

    UPDATE 2: Oh good, you can disable it. Still requires a lot of improvement, though.

      I never use the mobile site and stick with the PC version and that is the same on my IPad which I am using now.

      I actually avoid mobile sites as much as possible anywhere. I just like one view and one view only and if it works on a PC then it should still be able to work on a mobile site

      No Please No. I use the mobile version on my phone. The Full Site doesn't work well on phones. You can't read the whole topic thread in the forums. You can switch to the full site on your phone. I'm not having any issues on the mobile version. I have noticed some bugs on the full site though.

      I get that, but the execution of the mobile site was terrible.

      The idea of a mobile version of the website for cellphones is good, but the execution does lack in some points, e.g. it es quite difficult to make out in which threads there are new posts.

      The full site works well for me

      I feel like they completely screwed up the mobile version of these forums.
      The links just dont make sense.
      So okay, I can click the sims 4. Then, for example, there's sim guru grahams corner, that is a link to discuss and disclaimer. But, underneath the "simgurugraham's corner" theres links for discuss and disclaimer. Why? Why are there all these header links that we don't need?
      Same with "pack discussions" that is a link, click it and it takes you to expansion packs, game packs and stuff packs links. But underneath "pack discussions" there are already links for ep, gp, and sp.
      The headers annoy me. Either make them bolded and not a link so, one, we can differentiate the different sections and two not have a jumbled forum. Or take away the sub categories so you have to click "pack discussions" to see expansions and such. I think thats how it used to be...
      Dont fix what's not broken. Sure im used to it now but its still not a smart format.
