    Ok,

    Handled the authentication prompt, the Jump to Responses link, and the style sheet issue.

    Looking into the stretched YouTube embed videos issue.

    Thanks for the feedback.

    Has not been in constant dev since first mentioned. Styling issues as well as handling device rotation to allow for custom site background (changing) to properly scale.

    Nice!

    Though the games get cut way off o
    The New Games page - even in landscape on my iPhone 4.

    Reducing the number of columns to 2 (portrait) or 3 (for landscape) would be great.

    I'm liking it thus far Blake :)

    One thing I'm not liking is the banner under the forums, new games etc links at the top. I feel that's it's too close to them, it took me three goes before I clicked on the proper Button instead of the ad.

    Ah, OK. Well it's pretty cool, but a bit crowded with all of the advertisements. The ads could look sort of embedded into the page more, but other than that, they look like floating blocks.

    +1 the new games section is kinda screwy, but I like what you guys have done. Keep up the good work!

    It's nice, no doubt, but most of the links I click on, lead me to a non-mobile version of TA. For example, if I click on the lounge, it takes me to the normal lounge, not a mobile version. It makes the whole site feel disjointed and sluggish compared to the snappiness of the front page. A ubiquitous mobile version would be appreciated

    Mobile version sucks worse than a 60yr old prozzie at the mo :D

    I know it's a work in progress but you could of unleashed it to the world when it was complete and not a mess it's in at the moment ;)

    Latest in forums:Are you just going to have iPhone/iPad/Game D/Promo or you going to have more,and also just 5 of each at the moment.Not going to find nowt at the moment going on mobile version :( Better sticking off on the web ;)

    Let everyone know when you have it working properly cos i think you need to put a Do Not Disturb sign on it at the moment ;) :D

    In our tests with backdrop skins we threw together, background (mainly area above the site logo) is more of a background design kind of situation. I was a bit disappointed to see our first advertiser taking the approach of making the backdrop skin just basically a big ad block top, center.

    I expect the overall look / feel to be generally better, as we get different skins.

    FYI.

    Eehh I don't like it. I like to be able to see all the recent threads in the grey box on the right. Is there any way I can bookmark the site so it goes to the desktop version as default? Or am I going to have to scroll all the way down to the bottom every time I visit the site so I can switch it back to the desktop version?

    Open up the normal version on your phone. Bookmark that page. Whenever you want to access TA, use that bookmark

    Made the simple top nav bar taller and added more pronounced divisions.
