The newsbar seems to alternate between the "APRIL FOOLS" message and the "New Interplay sale on gog.com" one.

One small improvement that would be ubber mega amazing would be to add the "Show unread posts since last visit." and the "Show new replies to your posts." links in the fixed navbar.

Good ideas - done! Unfortunately I don't think I can selectively display them only when someone is logged-in, but I think that's a minor issue.

Newsbar will be fixed over the weekend, and I hope to get to the mobile version then as well.

There's more to come - keep the suggestions coming!

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Is the toolbar locked at the top of the page again? Because it stopped scrolling down (despite me having it set to SCROLL in the options)

I am awaiting mobile fix. :) The problems are noticeable, but you already mention that you'll work on it, so I won't comment yet.

What Sandwich said, the bar is not stuck on the top of my window either, it's staying quietly on top of the page where it belongs with the "scroll" behavior. I'd ask what browser you're using (Firefox 16 here).
People are stupid, therefore anything popular is at best suspicious.

I might have just fixed the mobile display issue - it looks better to me at least. Let me know. :)

Regarding the toolbar: The strange thing is, if I go to the options and change it to the topmost (Empty!) option, it works as expected. Setting it to "fixed" or "scroll" changes it to the "fixed" behaviour.

Also, when resizing the browser window to a point where the smartphone mode kicks in, it moves the toolbar to the top again ("fixed" behaviour).

That second aspect is intentional (it's a feature, not a bug - I swear!), to save max space on small screens.

As for the first, according to SMF's docs, there shouldn't be that first empty option. :-/

While on the topic of the toolbar, there's some awkwardness at a width of around 1067 pixels, where it expands to take up two lines, with the "QuickLinks" bar moving on a line of its own.

Sorry to hear about that intended behaviour, seeing as I am rarely if ever using a fullscreen browser window (or even one that covers half the screenwidth). Any chance of making that configurable as well?

I think the options for the nav bar are named oddly.

"Scroll" means that you scroll passed it.
"Fixed" means it stays fixed at the top of your screen.

It's counter-intuitive and confusing.

The width for mobile browsing works great. However the lines on the forum looks messed up, and when I type, the scroll bar violentlyswings up and down. I can't see what I'm typing.

Can we change the forum width? it's really getting on my nerves so much space is wasted.

Please read the last... three pages or so, and then come back to see if your question is still relevent.

i've always had the jumping scroll bar problem in IE.  the solution offered when i posted eons ago was "use firefox."
I like to stare at the sun.

Two people (Valathil and Luis Dias) have reported on IRC trouble with default fixed width on Androids. Vala was able to simply switch to fluid in the profile settings but Luis wasn't even able to login with the "crazy ui", to quote him.

Might be a good idea to switch to fluid by default.

Good idea indeed. From what I've seen in this thread, most people prefer it that way.
Also, I noticed an oddity. For some reason, the border around the box in which you type when posting, and the news bar are blue, at least in Chrome. I think they'd look better in orange, blue doesn't fit with the rest of the theme.
