One of the notable facts about the site is the number of people who access it from a mobile device. If you have ever done this, you'll know it is not that easy to navigate around.
I have been working on a mobile-friendly version of the site that does all the current site does and is also easily navigable on a mobile device.
If you would like to see the new site, it is available at:
http://www.abwtest.co.uk/
It contains a copy of the data from yesterday and you can log in, view pages, participate in the forum etc. The data in this test site will be deleted at some point so only add 'real' data to the live site.
The green logo is there to remind us that the site is different to the live site.
If you have an opportunity, please open the test site on your phone and see how it looks.
There are a couple of known issues I am still trying to resolve:
1. An error when displaying the shop categories
2. The Name Search screen appears to be blank. If you open this page, just press back to return to normality
If you find any others, please let me know.
One aspect you might see is that pages containing a lot of images may be slow to load if they have not been opened on the test site (which is most pages). This is the process of creating the thumbnail images on initial load. Once the thumbnails have been created once, the page will open normally. If the page gives a timeout error, just press f5 to allow the system time to continue processing the thumbnails.
As soon as these are resolved, I plan to switch over the live site to this mobile-friendly version.
