August1991 Posted January 28, 2017 Author Report Posted January 28, 2017 Years ago, I discovered MLW. For me at the time coming from abroad, it was a place to stop in, discuss Canadian politics freely with others across Canada, in English. At the time, I appreciated the freedom to post what I wanted to say. Greg, all the sophisticated software is irrelevant; make it easy for people like me, 10 or so years ago. PS. I have no problem with side-ads. Quote
Argus Posted January 28, 2017 Report Posted January 28, 2017 Didn't they say at the time there was no choice for technical reasons, that the software HAD to be upgraded?

kimmy Posted January 28, 2017 Report Posted January 28, 2017 Initially I had a bit of trouble with the new software because I didn't know how to use it. Now I wouldn't go back. Selective quoting used to be a chore, and now it's a two-click operation. That alone makes it a worthwhile upgrade, IMO. -k Quote (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ Friendly forum facilitator! ┬──┬◡ﾉ(° -°ﾉ)

eyeball Posted January 28, 2017 Report Posted January 28, 2017 (edited) I still think the mobile version could use some tweaks. Specifically text sizing and there was a go-to-top-of-page button on the old mobile version that made it easier to return to the Home page. The mobile version could use a Home link like the desktop version. Edited January 28, 2017 by eyeball 1 Quote A government without public oversight is like a nuclear plant without lead shielding.
WestCoastRunner Posted January 28, 2017 Report Posted January 28, 2017 Agree with eyeball. Mobile version isn't that great. Eyeball, when I posted that larger text I was on my laptop. It's way too difficult to quote from the web on mobile. Quote I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels. Life's a bitch. You've got to go out and kick ass. - Maya Angelou

Eyeball, when I posted that larger text I was on my laptop. It's way too difficult to quote from the web on mobile. Well, it's obvious the mobile version can support larger text without spreading off the sides so I fail to see why a larger default text size for the mobile wouldn't work. Otherwise I've come to like this mobile version more than the old one. For me its really just a few tweaks. The desktop version is fine and I have little to no issues with it at all.
