MyBroadband design changes

Do you not prefer the "Mobile" style on a touch phone? We removed the old mobile theme because it was aimed at BlackBerry devices (hence not touch).

I also think it takes up too much space, it perhaps looks more modern, but it's inefficient. And I can't easily see whether I've read a thread or not. On the old mobile style the colour of the font of the thread title would change if there were unread posts. I like that.

I wrote it was a blatant lie. You removed old mobile style and number of users complain.

Now is another lie. Old mobile works the best on desktop computer. I don't have to open full screen to see full text of the post without horizontal scrolling. The same when writing replies. However Style_id=25 worked even better. Remember one?

Yesterday I browsed only MyBB and it used 17-20MB of my 3G data, while normally with Old Mobile it stays below 1MB. I can''t afford such waste!

I was the first one complaing about removing old mobile style and you ignored my post completely, now you have more complains, plase (again) restore old mobile style!

Calm down, cupcake.
 
RPM, the Old Mobile style is far more usable than the 'new' one. Makes much better use of the space on small screens, and has all the important navigation buttons readily accessible.

I've seriously tried the new mobile style and it's a pain. At best one can see a handful of threads in a listing, with each thread taking seven lines. The Old Mobile style has a thread per line - seven times more efficient.

Forget that the Old Mobile was designed for Blackberry. Just rename it to Mobile Classic and have it available again. Please.

Agreed. It was simple and minimalistic and actually easier to use than the current mobile version.

Please add it back as an option
 
I like the new design, refreshing look i must say

RPM has stated that the old mobile style will be added back in a couple days :)
 
It took an absolute age to load an article from the newsletter on both my phone and tablet this morning.

It may be because all the new CSS files etc had to be loaded. Can you check if it still takes long to load?
 
First time I've loaded the home page since the change. I'm getting the mobile version on my desktop (FF, Win 7).
