The site finally seems to have it, a website layout for mobile devices. After all these years..
Not worth posting this as a news update? Even as a tiny, tiny one?

Not a fan of it personally, and there doesn't seem to be a way to get old layout back, at least on iPhone safari. Requesting desktop site doesn't do anything.
Uhhhh I'm not a huge fan of the layout. I think the avatar should be next to the name. They're too far apart right now.
It also feels so flat, it's not easy to see who it is that posted the message.
So, it's just the same buy layed out vertically.
'Aight.
I'm not usually one to offer advice, but normally, mobile websites are simplified views with a brand new design. Not just like, a mushed version of the main website.
See Games-Workshop's website as an example. Things are hidden in menus to clear out screen space.
Please revert this, it looks horribly awkward, there wasn't anything huge wrong with using the desktop site on mobile devices before.
I really really dislike this new interface and I’m not seeing a button to set it back to the desktop version.
Indeed, after Chrome's automatic adjustments, the site and esp. forum threads were already readable well. This new layout has way too much negative space to be useful on a small screen.
Oh, and I just got a "leave and discard changes" warning when replying inline, that's not good...
But your duty to Azeroth is not yet complete. More is demanded of you... a price the living cannot pay.
Oh, guess they finally let the mobile layout go out to all the non-premium guys?
Not sure with all the complaints though, I think it's pretty great without too much wasted space
Absolutely horrible. It isn't really a purposely designed mobile interface, it just smushes desktop site into an unreadable mess on mobile.
Please add an option to permanently toggle it off so I don't need to force desktop site in every new thread.
Do you have anything specific that you don't like?
Info should be fairly small compared to posts, does it not look like this?
I can potentially move the avatar, but generally this is how forums on mobile are laid out. Name / avatar above the message.
What browser gave you that warning?
Chrome for Android. Used "Reply With Quote" and typed my reply, hit Post, and looked away for a moment. When I looked back, I saw the warning, canceled it without thinking. Reply frame was still open, so I hit Post, got and confirmed the warning, and kinda expected to have double-posted, didn't though.
Will check whether it happens again now...
Nope, this time it was fine. Probably one of those one-time cases, some other field thought it was edited or such.

Not a fan really. Things seem to be all over the place now.
I think one of the issues is having the avatar on the right, it feels so weird when we are used to the desktop layout. Maybe move avatar to the left and have nickname next to it (to the right) and title below the nickname?
It also feels like posts take too much space somehow, maybe they could still be condensed a bit? Add the functions after each post to a single row?
Using Android Chrome in portrait mode. It's probably a bit better in landscape mode..
