Time for the next round of upgrades and improvements to ATS... Mobile first...

The black/grey option is by far the favored option of ATS users (see my poll thread on the question: www.abovetopsecret.com... ). Please make it the preferred option if there is one. And it really should be the way unsigned-in readers see the site too, given the poll results, for optimum enjoyment.

I hope this doesn't change the way laptop screens view the site, and most of all, along with the dark option, please keep the old pictures stored and viewable on theads. The Mars anomalies thread may actually be a historical record of the early years of exploration of the planet as well as the possible discovery of lifeform fossils on Mars. Thanks. Good luck on the transitions.

That thread is the certified truth of the matter.

Just thinking about the white screen gives me a headache.

When I have to resign in to ATS everyone in a while and I get that white screen I just can't imagine browsing in that.

Oh man it's going to suck if we're stuck with only the dark option. I suppose I can always just use my laptop and realize I'm in the minority so understand if that's the way it goes.

I can't do the dark version. Seriously, it's not for me.

You're so special to me right now.

It might also be a good idea to have the 'my ats' button not redirect to your dev environment. This has happened to me a few times.

a reply to: Sremmos80

I've done so a few times* logged out.

During the day*...

But after a long day, chilling with the lights off & hoping to have a good read, that white is not an option.

If it was a little greyer I could understand, but I don't know why anyone would want to put their eyes through that for too long.

No domo!
Come to the dark side!!!

How can you do the light version?!

ah i just posted this.. ok i have prehistoric version of Iphone updates so it can easily be just that.. please don’t laugh.. I am apple clueless.. but this is how my U2U looks when I use it Or in general reply it looks like this.. still easier then pm but.. but like I said it might be just my old school phone. just showing how it looks.. Honestly I couldn’t care less.. I am only scared my fingers will fall of soon from holding my phone non stop being here

This may already be fixed - being able to subscribe to a thread without posting. I cannot currently do that on mobile and I don't like posting a "placeholder" to be able to follow a thread.

Glad you are doing the upgrades! I use my mobile a lot and this will definitely help me!


Thanks,

Yes, this. Please.

being able to subscribe to a thread without posting on mobile

My subscribe on my phone.. strange ( it has been like that since I've joined.. March15) not sure why the rest of the quote is not showing

Please feel free to tell me I am stupid and then educate me where it is, but I would really love a post history (of my posts) so I can click on and go to the last post I have put in a thread.

Some threads are monsters and it is really frustrating to try and find where you last left off so you can catch up on all the rabble since you last contributed. The replies option sort of works but only if someone replies to you directly.

Oh and PS, please keep the dark option. I would simply stop using ATS if we only had the light option - it gives me migraine headaches.
(You can all lobby for the light option and get the champagne ready for my departure now )

It looks like you're browsing the full site, and not the mobile version, on your mobile device. I'll take a screen grab and post what my version looks like.

Edit to add:

Here's a screen grab of the opening of this thread as it appears to me on my mobile device.



On Android, using Chrome, there is an option to "Request desktop site" second from the bottom. Is there a menu option like that for iOS? If so, perhaps you have that set as default.

a reply to: cmdrkeenkid

yes I have the desktop version on

I ll switch see if it still does it

thank u for your reply

can't be bothered figuring things like this
I give up.. can't keep up
I am doing the Olivia from now on tired from
shoppin 4spinach

I edit here
I am sure u are right
lol sorry for talkin nonsense .. my box needed to release I owe u one replacement fuse

a reply to: cmdrkeenkid

2h later .. only I

yes this looks so neat

then yes only the subscribe

I had it like that the entire time

I replied about the edit window lost it I've dropped my phone as I hit the reply

I was thinking there could be also some basic icons for that one.. I am sure a few repeat

grammar
additional info
autocorrect
and so on can't think right now

My English I end up finding mistakes after 5th edit.. secret if no one was looking.. I even delete a few so I am not seen as the linguisticly impaired one !

I admit I love but when I catch a good one. the randomness sometimes even better than the main reply

There's a post history on your profile. The half-circle icon on the top line takes you to the thread page of your profile, and another icon gives you the option of going to your posts. (The options in your mini-profile also include "posts")
Since the post history is arranged from the most recent backwards, you just have to scroll down to the first-appearing post in the thread which interests you. That will automatically be your last post in that thread.
Clicking on it will open it up, and you can then scroll down the rest of the thread.

Please, please, PLEASE don't take away the desktop option. I prefer it to the mobile look.

I do love seeing the avatars
especially when I am just in the mood for reading
they change the entire vibe
especially when you guys are offline but your avatars are still looking

Might I suggest a downloadable interactive app, I'm not literate when it comes to understanding programming, but I think it could solve some problems, if its a task to be reckoned with then disregard.

Same here. I like to see the avatars.

Is this the cause for the ungodly lag?

It is completely pointless for me to us ats on my mobile right now.

No lag for me on mobile. Are you using the desktop or mobile version of the site?

The only site lag I have ever experienced is waiting for advert renderings.
