My hudl is still doing the same as Funk's. iPad 1 is sorted but the font isn't as pretty.

Still no 'go to last page' on My Stuff on Windows phone. IPad looks good though!

At the moment I'm having to log in once or twice per day on my phone, but this morning all I'm getting is a black screen when I try to bring up any of the PH pages, whether it's My Stuff, What's New or the actual home page.

If you go to my preferences then you can change to GTI skin.

If you have already done that, and still not seeing mobile site post here and will look tomorrow.
Fantastic, thanks! I assumed I was already on GTI as it was my only choice at one point.

Can we also have the "jump" navigation buttons back from mobile(beta) as well? The ones that go to the top and bottom of the page.

I'm not sure it it is on your list but on a phone in landscape the button bar at the bottom, with just four buttons is huge and occupies about 20% of the screen *all* the time - really not necessary.

It's looking *far* better on a tablet (iPad mini) though.

I've gone full circle. spin
Hated mobile beta on desktop because of horrid layout/columns/white space in My Stuff and What's New - my android phone Nexus 5 was fine.
GTI is now okay on desktop but rubbish on N5, particularly the lack of 'last post' link.
One step forward, one back. hehe

GTI bottom navigation has changed. Maybe I'll get used to it, but muscle memory wants me to click in the middle for My Stuff. irked

Mine still looks like this on Windows phone (8.1). I'm also noticing the new skin seems quite processor-heavy - load times are longer (irritating on the days I'm browsing on the train in patchy signal) and the phone seems to get surprisingly warm after a few minutes' browsing. This was never a problem on the old skin, nor is it with other forums...

Interesting, not really noticing that on my 1020.

Over the last week or so I have noticed Safari is using a lot more of my battery power than it used to on my iPhone 6, I hadn't linked it with the changes on PH, but it kind of figures. Will try not using PH on my phone for 24 hours and see what happens...

The link target on My Stuff topics is only on the title whereas previously (and on What's New) it is on the whole row. Which is preferable for touch devices.

Perhaps already noted, but is there a quick way in my stuff to get to the new posts in that particular thread.

Whenever I go to a thread via my stuff it takes me to the first post in that thread and then I have to then navigate to the last page. Whereas if I were to go to the forum list and then into the same thread, I could go straight to the newest posts in that thread.

It's been discussed. WIP apparently.

I just dont get it with PH, the code is tried and tested, it's 1 tiny edit on a file, yet it'll probably take months.

Quite, plus as before the What's New page works. The last read post link is there on the right of the screen. It works. Ok I'm not an IT bod but how hard can it be to figure out to get the same page layout on my stuff topics and replies etc?

I am, and run a forum, so know how easy it is. I'd do the change straight away. It's such a minor change.

I think that's probably how they got into the mess recently where half-tested code got released. Hopefully they're now using a proper test/release procedure, so even quick changes to a single file will take a while to happen, but at least will be fully traceable.
