In the last few weeks a lot has happened:
– Our forum software got a new major release and the developers completely removed the old theme support.
So I will have to redesign the style of the forum from scratch.
– The comments system has been made commercial and free versions are not offered anymore. I’d have to pay 70 bucks a year just for the comments.
So I will have to implement a different comment system, migrate all of the current comments and redesign that one from scratch, too.
This is already a lot. I’m thinking about redesigning the website completely if I’m already forced to do a lot of that anyways.
Do you guys care about a mobile friendly website you can browse with your phones? Or should I spend the time for making this elsewhere? π

21. October 2016 at 5:36 #18244IronDukeParticipantWell, I don’t website on phones, since all I have is a dumbphone, so you know what my answer to that is.
Do whatever you have to, sure. I just don’t see the point of doing things that may be completely unnecessary. Phones can zoom in, you know. π–IronDuke

Very little about the game is not known to me. Any questions you got, throw them at me. π21. October 2016 at 5:50 #18248ChesskingParticipantI have a dumbphone as well, which is why I don’t care. The only reason I see for a mobile website to be made is for someone who visits the forum often, but has limited access to a computer and could not keep up with developments otherwise. I honestly don’t think that person exists.

I’ll keep the current design and will only make some small technical adjustments to get future versions of the forum software running.
Because currently it looks like this:
The comments system has already been replaced and as a result, the number of comments even shows up in the download section now. Hooray!
You’ve lost all your comment thread subscriptions, though. :unsure:

That’s OK. I was subbed to pretty much all of the ones in the mod section, but nobody ever comments. :V If people want to get more info from me, that’s what PM is for.–IronDuke
