Twiglard now the site's fugg'd again on mobile. The hover-ribbon's items are not aligned to the left, but slightly right of center so the rightmost item, search, is cut off. In fact the whole forum view is not adjusted to the screen, it's slightly too wide.
Good catch.

Good catch.

Also, the buttons could have some kind of descriptions in the list. Is there anyone here who remembers what all those Trump buttons mean? Right now you can look at the button's url, or open the image in a new tab to expose its description, but it shouldn't take any effort. Mobile browsing is frustrating enough as it is.

When viewing a post's ratings, the buttons along the right side of the "Members who reacted to message #..." box are mis-aligned vertically. Viewing the ratings on Ustad's post, a few posts up, is a good example of it. Seems to only happen when you're on the "All" page. Also, the "Wow" button looks hosed in that list, replaced with something completely different.

It might be that everything is mis-aligned, not just the buttons, there's no margin above usernames beyond the first one in the list etc.

Indeed they were.

This has to do with how the button is defined by XF2 using .css directives rather than simply making it into an image (same as with the parrot and excited requiring fixups). But it's more hilarious than that NPC-approved button.

Currently the post ratings name is shown twice, looks a bit ass even though it's hardly worth mentioning.

I do prefer the tooltip right on the rating, instead of the one up top, even if it's completely out of the forums design, but certainly that can be fiddled with?

Let me go back to this thread: I know you guys won't change it if I ask for it, but I simply wanna know the rationale behind the button zooming on mouse hover. It makes rating even more cumbersome than it is now, specially if you accidentally hover on [citation needed] which occupies half the screen (I'm exaggerating here but almost) and hides all the buttons next to it.

Just wanna know the reason.

It's the up-arrow button that appears in the bottom-right on mobile, which allows instant scrolling to the top of the page. It makes sense it should be accompanied by a down-arrow.

...is fucking retarded because most phones already scroll to the top when you tap the top bar. Bottom-scroll is sorely needed, top-scroll is reduntant and shows how little whoever made this knows about mobile UI.

It's just a stock feature. Nobody except you seems to be bothered by it.

@Twiglard add a downarrow below the uparrow for instant scrolling.
I saw an option for that somewhere.

It would be neat if you could give the same rating by just clicking on an existing one. Taluntain Twiglard could this be done? The problem is that then we need a different solution to see who has rated what. We could add an additional link next to the reactions for that.

Yes, because when people don't say anything It's whatever you want to interpret into it. It's bothering me, it's just not that important. Also it's not like feedback seems overly relevant.

I'm bothered too. Same deal: hovering over the wrong rating makes it hard to select the one next to it.

*taps on the keyboard*

Now, are you both happy with the compromise solution?
