Evil.1580 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 So I tried to take a look at the website, read some relevant info and some posts on the forum, from my phone. I was amused by the fact that the site isn't responsive in 2019. The mobile industry is expanding very quickly, big gaming companies are making mobile-only games and I was just wondering why this site isn't responsive?

Danikat.8537 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Maybe they don't get enough traffic from phones to consider a mobile site worthwhile? Even though I'm often away from home and can't get to a PC I can't remember the last time I looked at the main site on my phone. I'll often be on the forum when I'm away but that has a mobile version (it's quite similar, but the layout is cleaner and larger to accommodate the smaller screen, and of course menus are in different places). I seem to remember there is a way to get the PC version of the forum to come up on your phone, so maybe that's what you're seeing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanBB.4268 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 I'm looking at the forums on my phone right now, and it works fine. What exactly are you looking at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just a flesh wound.3589 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 I’m looking at the forum on my iPad. What do you want different from that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the main website (guildwars2.com), was trying to get on the forums from there. But my fingers are fat and got nervous. Also, the most relevant info is written right there, on the feed, would be great if it is mobile friendly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randulf.7614 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 The main site isn’t mobile friendly at all I agree, but I suspect most phone users check social media for info so they prob haven’t spared thought to updating it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mauried.5608 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 What does mobile friendly mean ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So accommodating touch screen controls instead of a mouse and keyboard and made for a smaller screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodstealer.5978 Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Funny thing is, using the site on my phone is the only way I can get full working functionality currently due to the JavaScript bugs and loss of site button functionality. In fact its the only way I can actually log out of the site as well. Not sure what the issue is... if the buttons etc are small, surely you have finger zooming so you can enlarge the touch area?

MithranArkanere.8957 Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 They have bothered too much with backwards compatibility. This just needs a bit of CSS grid layout and **orientation** @media rules, but that doesn't work on older browsers. Shouldn't ever bother with Edge anymore since they are switching to Chromium. If https://caniuse.com/ says it's already available in chrome and firefox, it should be good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
