I spent a lot of time to change this and want to ask if anyone with a mobile phone or tablet can test the changes. Some things are still not like it should be on mobile phones, but a start is done. The main change for now is to make the basic site work on mobile phones at all and to have a solution for all the information we provide on the main site, like the menu on the top (beside the logo), the latest posts box and the main menu. Some sub pages, like Maps or screenshots are not adapted right now. Forum topics may need also some love but in general this is working. So if you have a mobile phone or a tablet please test the current changes on https://alpha.widelands.org and give some feedback here in this topic. Thanks in advance! Top Quote

Profile, messages, scheduler and logout should be single logo based buttons rather then classical textbased hyperlinks. profile - person icon messages - envelope scheduler - clock logout -- exit door Top Quote

If you load the current page https://www.widelands.org on a smartphone you always have to zoom in and scroll the page around to reach certain links. At least this was my experience with the old layout. all GUI elements are reachable except the upper right items. Profile, messages, scheduler and logout should be single logo based buttons rather then classical textbased hyperlinks. profile - person icon messages - envelope scheduler - clock logout -- exit door Probably each in a row f it's own? I'll take a look. Top Quote

I've reworked the login part for small devices, putting each link in a separate line and give a bit more space around them. Please take a look again. For me this is fine now. Top Quote

But it seems this solution does not work for some mobile phone browsers, e.g. chrome or firefox have problems with this. So further testing is not needed until a better solution is found… Thanks anyway Edited: Yesterday 18:02 Top Quote

Your mobile has a big resolution it seems. Thanks for sharing this screenshots. This will help to adjust the current css a bit more. The biggest surprise is that firefox does not load/show the background images, but this is really not our fault. On my mobile it looks like this. On smaller screen resolutions there should be an additional button beside the main menu entries which, once tapped, should show the additional submenu. And the right boxes (e.g. latest posts) are only shown when tapping the vertical "More" button on the right side. Same for the login box, which should be shown when tapping the vertical "Login" button. Since you don't have any of those buttons you don't see the last changes. Attachment: image/png Top Quote
