They'll probably release the mobile site after they release the update that was going to come out a few years ago.

programming is too hard

my penis is out in public too much as it is, maybe its a good thing?

Because it's FA. How long have you been here again? :x

For the same reason they have an archaic interface? :X

maybe they are using a 56k magician server from the zombie dlc of borderllands

You mean one that, (largely), works, isn't bloated, doesn't need to constantly chat with the server, and isn't full of annoying things that pop up if you move your mouse over the wrong spots?

And is years behind the times when other people have more efficient ones that don't do any of that?

The things in that list are all things that I find show up _constantly_ any time a site has rolled out a "new 'improved'" interface over the past few years. For instance, lately almost every site seems to have this need to tell me _instantly_ about new comments/responses, sometimes doing so in a way that causes what I'm reading to be scrolled right off the screen. Then there is this love affair with 'infinite scroll', which is fine so long as you never need to dig up something that isn't right near the top.

Do you have a real issue with the interface other than "it hasn't been changed for no good reason"? or perhaps an example of something you think is a "good, modern" interface?

I find that it doesn't really need one, even on my old slow phone it still works fairly well.

Better question: why can't you own a phone that can meet the 1997 html1.0 standards.

FA's coders are too goddamn lazy to update the main site at all. What makes you think they'll release a mobile version?

whenever the moon hits the earth, i suppose,

Maybe it's just me, but I'd rather have the same site on my device as what I have on my computer.

have a decent android phone site runs fine in firefox for android

We won't notice when it launches because we'll all be at the store to buy Half Life 3. *trollface*

The regular version of the site works fine on my phone. And my phone is a piece of shit.

When they come out with the community tagging options they were talking about over 5 years ago most likely. But Fa works fine on my android phone if I ever want an awkward boner in public.

Been working on some template ideas for a mobile site. Been working on some concepts for a while. Date wise... not sure.

It's impossible to figure out all the details of a project like this without actually starting to work on it. What is the marginal benefit of floating ideas around for one more week before beginning to write the template, or searching for a mobile web dev, or whatever step 1 of the project is?

I actually made a quasi-functioning mobile site, and I could do it easily. Commenting is what really makes the layout confusing/awkward.

Yeah, I'd say that's what makes commenting on the desktop version awkward too. My only suggestion is to look at what other websites do and see if there's a method that looks appealing enough to replicate.

There is an Android app but I don't use it, it doesnt work very well...

ah well i'm using operamini to browse furaff on my blackberry, the current font size always been ok and readable at this scale.

but on a computer i'm still caught zooming in.
