I love the new layout... Mostly. The only real issue I have is that when I click a link to view a thread, it brings me to either the bottom of the first page, or the middle page if it has mutiple pages of responses. It would also be helpful if it were announced on the main page of Crackberry so users will know what's up. I imagine most users don't scroll alll the way down in the main forum list to get to this area.
Yeah, I like the more recent changes, but it's really annoying when I open a thread I know I've never read before and have no idea where I am in it. It seems to default to the most recent post, but sometimes I end up in the middle somewhere, like Decypher said.
Clicking the hyperlink should always take you to the last post in the thread. If there are multiple pages, you can navigate to the page you want using the page numbers.
I understand this isn't desired behavior & I'll work on:
Clicking the hyperlink takes you to the first post in the thread.
Clicking the page number takes you to the first post of a page.
Hyperlink to view first unread post will be at the top of the first page of a thread.
I noticed the new mobile changes last night. It makes the site much quicker to use on my phone. It is nice to see a theme where our default font sizes are applied.
Any chance we can get some small changes to the regular site to make it a bit easier to use with a Playbook?
The biggest problem I have is with the forum threads and multi paged threads. The page numbers are a bit small to select. I have seen "Next" page link on other sites that use this same software. The word "Next" is easier to select than ">". In addition, an extra space between the last post and the line with the "Post Reply" and page numbers on it. A lot of the time while trying to select a page number, I accidentally thank or like a post.
The second little problem I have is when selecting threads from the main page. On shorter thread titles, I sometimes select the posters name and it opens the posters profile, rather than the thread. An extra line between the title and the posters name may help this too.
I have a suggestion for both the desktop and mobile versions. I'd like to have the option of "new BB posts except Playbook" like when there was "new BB posts except Storm". I like to see new BB posts, but only the ones related to the handsets. I have no interest in the Playbook or any other tablets.
Long waited for this mobile layout (and wondered when it could be time for this) - now it is active :-)
Thank you very much - a big enhancement for navigating and browsing here in the forums!
You aren't the only one. It's even affecting whyweprotest forums too. The connection is resetting before the page even completes loading, or the scripts are halting/stopping premature. A refresh usually fixes it. This is happening on both firefox and opera. Firefox 10, not so much, but it still does affect it.

Strange. No amount of refreshing fixes it for me. Even FF10 has it consistently...
