Forums / Maintenance / Report Problems

I have noticed through my iPad that KYM now has a mobile version, so I have decided to post feedback on it what kind of problems that needs to be fixed to make better and useable.

It sucks! The only options you have are the page title that send you to the main page, memes, images, videos and episodes. There's no forum page, and because of that I have to write this thread on my computer. There's no search bar. The only comments the videos and images has are facebook comments. The KYM users are seemingly non-existant, like I said, the videos and images doesn't show who posted these or the user comments. You can't log in or out. Some pages has a tendency to go 404 on you if you scroll down to fast. And there's no desktop option.

If KYM wants to have a mobile version for their site, make it useable! I hope those problems I listed above will be fixed eventually. But as for now, I will have to use my computer.

The mobile version is only shown to logged out mobile users so that's why no user actions are shown on it.

Yeah, but how am I suppose to log in if I can't access it on the mobile version.

I was only able to log in through the forum page, since that still has the desktop version.

The login link disappearing on mobile was a caching issue and it should be coming back in a few minutes.

That sound good, thanks for letting me know.

wow so KYM mobile is going to happen

Hmmm, this strikes me as a bit odd. While my laptop has auto-login, when I browse the site on mobile I often don't login unless I see something which I want to login for. Now I can't see those things and am forced to login. I was lucky I had the forum tab in my history otherwise the forums would become non-existant on my mobile.

So yeah, word of advice is that I wouldn't differ between logged in or not. As a solution to this issue, many sites with mobile versions offer a "browse desktop version" option.

Other than that, looks very neat and clean. Image Galleries show up beautifully and browsing them is easy. And making the video and media galleries simple butons on the botom of your screen is useful. But like before, it still strikes me as odd that we're making comments non-existant (cue internet nerd saying that "comment sections aren't a loss").

An issue I noticed is that the embed media in the entries don't load correctly. Videos make use of the complete width of your mobile screen and the image example headers are now just 6 images below each other. They completely ignore the height and width limitations we added with html. Looks unclean.

It should be possible I guess because for example entries like Monster Girls that make use of div class="references" in the entry text still have that enabled on the mobile version and those headers look extremely clean on mobile, not suffering from too small images or anything like you might expect.

But I gotta repeat, kudos on the mobile version. I like it very much.

Eventually there's going to be a full redesign of the site and this limited mobile version for logged out users is the first step. I spent around 6 days on it and rushed it out since Google is changing how mobile SEO works on 4/21; not having a mobile site could have damaged the site's rankings and search traffic is our main source of traffic.

Logged out users going to entries, images, and videos is like 90% or more of our page views.

I won't be adding any logged in user actions until the full redesign but I'll be adding mobile search and read-only KYM comments next. Right now the only links on mobile are ones that take you to a mobile section of the site which is why things like tags, uploader links, etc aren't in yet.

Estimated time until the full redesign?

It's a full redesign of the site so it's going to take months at the least.

I use this site on mobile frequently. With the right hardware you can do it just fine. But having it in lets say google play or apple app store would be great for more users

When the site gets redesigned, please, whatever you do, do not pull a Digg v4. If KYM died because it stripped users of things that had nothing wrong with them, we would lose a great resource for understanding not just memes, but how the Internet has had an impact on the world.
