We're a couple of weeks away from having a prototype to play with. Will post an update here as soon as that's ready.

Any room for someone who uses the late (un)lamented WebOS (Pre 3, HP Touchpad) ?

I use Opera Mini on my Android phone, could I be of help?

Plus, I frickin' hate the current mobile site, there are 6 links on the main page and I'm lucky if 3 of them don't "ERROR 200 - this page is not available on the mobile portal" on me... and the "More news" link doesn't work either... yada yada.

The forums work though so I usually manage to find the article I want to read (but can't from the frontpage) by hunting through General Gassing...

I think that's a known bug WST.

Yeah, which is why I want to try the new site, which hopefully won't have this bug, sooner rather than later. 'Course it does baffle me a bit why, if it was a known bug (a pretty major one, where 90% of the content on the site is not available!), it wasn't fixed anyway...

Happy to join in.

Can we have a 'quote all' button on the new mobile site?

The context is often lost just quoting the last post.

Not to mention strikethrough that works!

And a "watch" button.

And has anybody else got that bug where you scroll down a page and suddenly part of it is the previous page you were looking at? Refresh doesn't sort it out, you have to go back and click the link again. I assume some sort of cacheing problem. Didn't notice it before I updated my Sensation to Ice Cream Sandwich, but it is the only web site that does it...

HTC Desire (although I must be due an upgrade soon...) on Android 2.2.2 from some time in the dark ages.

Now an HTC One X.

I'm on this all the time when I should be studying, so sign me up . Using an iPhone 4 running iOS6

[BlackVanDyke]

You still looking for people? Another iPhone user here, but potentially using assistive tech with it if that makes a difference.

[Porkupine]

Any news on the testing Stuart?

[Stuart]

We're pretty close. Still at wireframe stage, I'd imagine about 10 days or so.

If you could put it off until January, that'd be great. My shiny new Nokia 100 has limited functionality with a lot of internet sites, I will be unable to help you solve the massive smilies issue until I get an upgrade in January.

[Rob282828]

Ten days....

That's a month ago now.

You mean you aren't part of the test team?


You don't know what you're missing!

[HurricaneVader]

Use my iPhone to browse here mostly, Keeps crashing on Google Chrome but works perfect on Safari.

Huh?

No i don't think so, i did ask to join in but clearly i'm not good enough.

[ad551]

May I make a suggestion for the new mobile site?

Can there be independent settings for page length between the desktop and mobile version?

80 posts per page is great on a normal computer, but scrolling right down to the bottom of a long thread on mobile can get tedious.
