A few months back our website was 'upgraded' to be more compatible with mobile phones, but in the process we have lost some of the very useful features on desktop. The QUICK REPLY box is not working at all. I had complained many times on the thread in which Vijay had asked users to test and comment, but no action has been taken. Now it's a nuisance to hit reply and go to a new page and then post what we want. The QUICK REPLY was so damn useful! We need this back!

Secondly, the mobile version gives no way of going to inbox from a forum, except by viewing in desktop mode or by going to history pages on the browser. I have tested on Samsung Grand phone with Dolphin, Chrome and the native browser. There seems to be an indicator on top right showing how many PMs are there, but clicking it isn't taking us to the inbox.
The inbox itself is viewable only in desktop mode. So what's the point having a site which is partially mobile friendly? 😕
Lastly after the update the website has become extremely slow in desktop mode. I am using IE on Windows 8.1. I can't use other browsers for official reasons and I work for a company which runs a website, so I know it's unreasonable to ask users to use another browser. A website should be made compatible with all browsers.
I thought these fixes will be applied but of late nothing seems to be happening on the bug fixing front. Anyone listening?

Seriously this is not pleasing at all...😔
We can't check our scraps and pms directly except viewing in desktop mode...it becomes irritating when we are on mobile version and we have to reply an important pm as we can't go directly to the pm inbox and we have to wait till the page loads completely...😔
Plz fix it ASAP...

The mobile version of 2013 was best of all..all the changes made after that did more harm than good.Period.
Complained and received advice about changing my browser and settings.Sorry but IF isn't the only site I use.Nope.

IF is too slow on Mobile.
PM & Scrap setting was a big issue.
Thank u Vis di 4 raising this issue.
I think this spamming msgs is another issue.
If we wanna make a thread or FC or anything, we need to res 6-7 posts.
But becoz of this continous spamming msgs we can't do our work as fast as possible😔
And also we lost our long long msg

So true. I'm lucky that my phone and mobile service here is really fast so I don't often notice the difference of speed when replying to PMs from mobile, but it still does get very annoying because I still need to zoom in on the page to be able to click on the right spot and then I need to zoom in so I can read the reply I'm getting, then I need to zoom out to be able to click send, and then zoom in when a reply appears. It's a lot of zooming that still needs to be done on the desktop pages.

Agreed, these issues are really troublesome. IF is quite hard to browse on mobile in general, and even hangs up on PC at times. Please do look into it. Thanks!

Please add the QUICK REPLY back. It will be damn useful.

I have iPhone and I have safari browser. I can access my inbox in my mobile. On top right it shows me outstanding unread PMs and when I click on profile link It opens a popup that lets me go to Inbox, scraps, my posts etc

I am too encountering problems with the new version. It is way too slow and clumsy. I end up reaching somewhere else, mostly to the member's profiles when I wanna reply to posts, credit the sluggish response of the site on mobile despite the 3g connectivity. I hope these problems will be taken into consideration soon.
