Put double arrows at the top of the page to skip to the end of a thread.. like there are at the bottom.


This would save like 1-2 seconds for each time I need to do this which probably comes out to close to an hour a day.

That would require us to remove some links

Return to Board, Menu and Bottom could not all fit with the expanded paging links...you can click "Page x of x" to quickly jump to the bottom or hit "Bottom"

I will admit that mobile forums is due for some tweaking but we haven't yet determined the path forward...

I don't think this should be anywhere near the top of that list.

What are some other tweaks you dweebs are mulling over?

Yea. I just click bottom to get to it. It isn't that inconvenient at all really. Just figured the double arrows could fit without removing anything.

you will need both double arrows and they would be spaced out enough so that you don't fat finger anything...

I like the "desktop view" version more on my android.

This is different than the desktop version of TD however.

I think the "desktop view" version is the iPhone mobile version of TD which, I wish, was the default for droids. Much cleaner.

Have you thought about rolling out a mobile version similar to what bodybuilding forums has? It allows you to have your avi and other info under your user name but it would be neat and compactly organized as well like what's currently on mobile. I don't use mobile because I don't like all text and I've noticed that a lot of the users of TD is without an avi or sig since you introduced the new image hosting requirements and perhaps the majority are mobile users and I think this would incentivize/nudge people in the right direction of personalizing their TD accounts.

Here are some examples....

I prefer the mobile version the way that it is. To me it fits the phone better and is easier to read because it's not very cluttered.




And nice subtle brag about the body building, you stud you.



ETA I'm not saying that what you posted isn't easy to read, but I can follow along just find on the mobile version without avatars and such. The simplicity makes it easier to read and navigate, IMO.

I always use the mobile site.
I wish I could see avatars.

Just a thought. (Didn't want to start a new thread)

It also loads faster when not on WiFi. I usually back out of pic heavy threads because I don't like waiting for them to load

And if you click on 1 of 4 it's jumps to the bottom

The only change I'd like is for td links to open in mobile if you're in mobile or a switch to mobile link
