Just out of curiosity, why are you still on iOS7? Seems like the two things in common that both of you have is iOS7.

Because my phone doesn't have enough memory to update to iOS 8.

I can't expand to quote or reply or object to a post. I have an HTC phone. I've cleared my history and logged off then back on.

Hmm. It works on my iPhone 6.

No navigation bar is really annoying. Flicking or swiping down dont bring it up. The only way to get to it is to click on the adress bar. Really annoying. And the refresh button doesnt work. Goes to a not authorized page.

I agree the old site worked perfect. iOS 7 also.

Looks like they made nav bar permanent. Not sure why as it takes up valuable screen real estate, but I under people were whining about it.

and I thank them for it. although it used to work better where only the top bar showed until pulling the screen down.

the constant texags bar is what's taking up valuable screen real estate.

sucks that web developers have to give in to customers that are too lazy to upgrade to the recent iOS.


I'm halfway joking.

I don't like the new site's integrated scrollbars. Tapping the clock bar at the top of the screen no longer scrolls the window to the top. I also can't tap and hold the default scrollbar to go up and down.

moto x
android 4.4.2
Opera 12.10

experience is very slow.
title bar with watchlist, pm, etc, it's jumpy
button interaction is sketchy
drop down watchlist doesn't seem to update, same topics always displayed
have to tap two times to bring up entire watchlist


I'm really surprised you took such a lite version of the site that was ideal for mobile and degraded it by seeming to add content that was not needed.

is it possible to keep the old mobile site active as a super lean alternative with its own link? ie:lite.texags.com ?

"Unfortunately Internet has stopped."

I've gotten this ****ing message 100 times since the upgrade. Fix it.

Really like the new mobile site with one exception.

When perusing a forum that lists the active threads, It's very difficult to tap on the area to access the last post given how small that area is to tap

Much smoother in chrome but my premise doesn't change.

Ultra lite option would be fantastic

always refreshing to the top of the page on a "back" action is now affecting me, too.

things also take longer to load on mobile now and this is very apparent when not on a good mobile connection.

Anyone else having an issue viewing videos? I click on the arrow and theres a blue loading bar across the top that takes quite a while but then nothing happens. Same issue on iphone and kindle. I got the video to work in the desktop version.

It's so slow. I wish the user had the choice of using the old version.

Nexus 7 2012 using the stock browser

Pressing the last post part of a thread goes to the last page, not the last post.

Switch to the chrome browser while they figure it out. It's really smooth on Chrome.

I posted this yesterday. Just fyi i was able to view the live stream and stewarts video of the implosion. It seemed to be in a different format than the press conference and kyle field deconstructed video.

I refuse to use Chrome bc of their parent company =/

The way I have found around the new mobile site is just to use the desktop version until TAs can get their the mobile site working better.

it's entirely frustrating how the new site refreshes all the time. when I use the back button to go back to the previous page I don't want it refreshing! it loses my spot half the time and on a spotty connection it takes forever to reload what was already loaded once. it just eats up more data (not a ton but it adds up) and slows down the whole experience. I really wish there was more of a lightweight option.


also, if I go to my last unread post, then the next page of the thread, and then go back to reread what was on the original page with my last unread post, that page refreshes to the current last unread and I end up on the last page of the thread.

The issues regarding going back and/or snapping to the correct post/thread are being addressed. Stewade acknowledged issues with the release on another thread.

Hey guys, we are definitely aware of these issues and are actively working to fix them. I can't really speak to the code side of things, but I can promise you we've been addressing these exact issues (page reloading/refresh, back button, snapping you to the right post, etc.) for the past two days and will get them fixed. I apologize for the inconvenience.

You do realize you're using android which shares the parent company of chrome.....right?

On an HTC One running Android 4.4.2

Very few problems that haven't already been mentioned. Would love for you guys to add an option to autoplay images, especially .gif files. This slows some pages to a crawl and eats up bandwidth. Liked the old way where you had to click the link to see what was there. Those that want autoplay can keep it and those that dont can turn it off.

Is there an option to disable images from automatically loading, like before? Sucks data and it was a good way to avoid dumb signatures.

You would need to upload the image to a hosting site (Imgur, Flicker, etc) and then put the link to the photo between image tags: (img)URL(/img) but replace the parentheses with square brackets
