Come the fuck on, can you guys get that thing out of here? At least on mobile. That shit makes me not want to use the site at all.

There's no scenario where I'm ever going to click on it beyond accident. I get the need to make money but maybe just embed the fucking thing somewhere!

compared to many many many mobile sites, i feel like it's pretty minimal. hell of a lot better than those videos running in the corner with obnoxiously small X buttons.

It takes up half the screen, press the button and it goes to the old size (which cover nav buttons) then you have to press it a second time to make it go away. It's pretty pants.

Am I the only one constantly needing to pull up the little arrow tab just to access my notifications?
 
It's shit on mobile I agree. Takes the whole page and sometimes clicking the little arrow to pull it up is sooooooo slow wtf.

Looks terrible:

I end up just not browsing NeoGaf on mobile at all because of this.

Exactly, having it cover the nav bar practically seems intentional. Whoever's idea to implement the fucking thing should be embarrassed.

i sometimes get the half screen pull down one but not usually not. like i said, pretty minimal compared to almost every other mobile site.
 
I'm not a fan of ads that impact user experience either. Unfortunately it's difficult to monetize forums and we need to keep the lights on one way or another. If you're a regular user do consider GAF Gold for an ad-free experience that supports the site.

I hear you and am sympathetic, but that single ad is horrifically annoying. Maybe you can anchor it to the bottom of the page instead?
 
My only gripe is being asked if i want to enable push notifications. Never ask me again... Asks again in a few days. Its fine but is something that buhs me on another forum I visit.

At least it isn't as bad as those sites that have auto playing videos.
Oh, I think you missed the auto playing video and accidentally scrolled past it, let me pop it out for you, I'll also make the close button really small just in case you accidentally click on it.
 
I understand that it's needing for the forum to get money.
My only complaint is that you need to click twice to see nagivation bar/notification
 
have refresh the page all the time to get to alerts because of it. just saying. I would pay for gold but the image posting is still messed up on mobile and bubbles down placing the image in the wrong place almost every time. No one can throw a preventdefault in there? :messenger_astonished: Fix that and maybe I will sub.

It pissed me off that the little tab thing on the left covered the GAF logo to reload the home page. I learned to adapt by just tapping the gaming or off-topic icon near it, so it actually trained me to save a step. Thanks monetization.
