Evening Nintendo Lifers,

It's been one of the most requested features therefore I'm pleased to let you know that we've just rolled out an update that improves the site for mobile browsing.

The mobile optimization has mainly been designed and tested for 3DS and iPhone/Android but should work for all other mobile browsers. We've simplified the interface (by removing the sidebar and making the header/footer more simple) which should mean an end to painful zooming. It should also load much faster as we've stripped away some of the desktop interface.

We've also removed the inline-comments from the mobile version as this seemed to be causing problems for lots of people.

So, grab your phone or 3DS and give it a try.

Please, give us your feedback!

Looks good so far, but to me it just seems like NLife with text wrap. Hopefully you can tweak it to make it more awesomer.

Lots of censorship here...

I wish the whole navbar could be on a single row instead of wrapping around weirdly, but it's pretty great otherwise - thanks Ant! :3

@Lan @pixelman yep, this is just the first phase... at least making it more usable for mobile devices. The next phase might introduce some new stuff :)

This might be related, but the chat seems to be down right now... did the update break it?

Typing from my 3DS and it looks great, very easy to use, but I miss seeing the the 4 most recent Forum topics, but other than that it looks and works great.

I'm happy to see this, as my regular computer is down, and my other one is a POS (and I don't mean point-of-sales ;) ), so I use my iPod Touch 90% of the time when I'm here. Thank you, ladies and gents of NL! One question: I toggled back to the desktop version. How do you return to mobile? There's no link that I can find, and doing m.nintendolife.com doesn't work.

I only get online with my 3DS, so this is great! I was actually happy with the desktop version (which worked surprisingly well on my 3DS), but there's nothing wrong with improvement!

I just tried clicking on the mobile link, and I'm still in desktop. I'm not sure you're able to return to mobile after you've clicked to go into desktop mode. Odd, because I haven't had this problem before. I'm sorry to be a bother.

Great update. I'm just missing the recent forum posts sidebar like @Square-enixFan said. And in threads where a YouTube video is posted, it expands the page quite a bit.

Edit: I just experienced what @Fluttershyguy is talking about. I returned to the homepage and I was back to the desktop version, and nintendolife.com/mobile isn't working.
