New Style - Mobile View Suggestion

A little late to the game here, but very happy to see a clean mobile version of this site. It is nice to know the company that supports the site also opted to create a mobile version. A few request/suggestions: 1. Remove some of the links on top (e.g. Register) or roll them up into a drop down selection maybe. I don't know of anyone that is going to be using the mobile version of a forum site to do serious work like register or ask a full question. I would expect the average is just going to read and maybe comment; the die hard may answer some questions. 2. White space. Mobile phones are not that big so to much white space makes it a bit difficult to view sites that have loads of information to share, as a forum site would. This is my view of the site from Galaxy S3, Android 4.1.2 using Chrome version 30.0.1599.82: ![alt text][1] [1]: /storage/temp/1108-ask_ssc_mobileview.jpg

Hi Shawn, There should be an update in the next few days that addresses point 1 - they'll roll into a dropdown menu for screens below a certain size. It's more difficult to eliminate whitespace - there's not much to lose on the average-sized question, and it's necessary for some affordance between the tags, titles, usernames, etc. (basically, it's been tested for thumb space as well as how much can be displayed). I'd be loath to make them smaller because of this.

This is a bug. It should be fixed in the next deployment.
