I seem to recall dag a few years back touting the functionality of the VS on his Applefone-I'd think a buncha folks would care if the majority of them used their mobile devices for video viewing....I suspect otherwise unless the majority of our users are in Asiatic countries.
Whaddya wanna bet you get an admin answer that says, 'Iphone bad for mobile VS....?'

Since the "5.0" the site has become very mobile unfriendly. I mentioned this to @lucky760 about a week ago in the lounge so he is aware of this. I told him that I would send him a list of my issues viewing the site via iPhone. About a year ago ago I was trying to show a friend of mine a sifted vid on her Android tablet and I found it quite frustrating also. I would like the Sift to be mobile friendly.

I always feel like the asshole making more work for Lucky any time I post these kinds of technical things. Sorry Lucky. You're the unsung hero of my man dreams, if that's any consolation.

No worries, blanketyblank. It's not your fault if the UI is a piece of crap. (And in this case, it's not directly "our" fault exactly because we outsourced the entire front-end design and implementation for the first time ever. But I digress.)

@dag and I have been discussing potentially making some sweeping changes in the not-too-distant future, but I think an immediate change needs to be to put something more like the old mobile site back into place asap.

Before @lurgee mentioned to me how horrible and non-functional it is, I thought the current mobile stuff was working fine (mainly because I never use it and haven't heard any specific complaints [that I can remember]). So now this ST post just makes that point even clearer.

My apologies we've accidentally allowed our mobile site to not be as awesome as we thought it was. We thought the responsive design would allow you to use all the full features of the site while also maintaining the look and feel, but it sounds like it's just totally busted.

It took me 3 attempts to post a response on my iPhone. @lucky760 I should have some screen shots and some comments on this issue later today.

Is it just iPhone? What about Android and other mobile devices?

Yeah it's been completely busted since 5.0.. I thought this had been brought up before otherwise I would have said it.

Well, everyone should mention it if they run into it.

The most annoying thing for me is having to scroll down 57 pages to get to the stats at the bottom, which I think might be an artifact of the extra vertical space that was added as a workaround for the js resizing issue on the multi-column version... but can you take it out for the single column view?

There are a few other things that don't work terribly well, but that's the one that bugs me most.

I will discontinue my regular schedule and do all the things you wanna do!

I'm sorry, that answer is incorrect. The correct answer was anal.

I have a callus in my thumb.

Thank you for your reports and your patience. Stay thirsty, my friends.

How do you like me now http://videosift.com/talk/Return-of-Mobile-VideoSift

Just go to reddit...that way you'll see these videos a day before they're on here. There's a good reddit app for mobile devices...
