Forum:Rediscussing mobile situation

On the Nitrome Wiki, for content such as content relating to Icebreaker A Viking Voyage, problems on the page have been found with both iPhone (which the game is currently for) and Android (what it will be for soon).

These are the iPhone problems encountered: And with Android:
 * I1: Viewing levels sections of Hammerfest, Troll Marsh, and Under Dwell with Safari using an iPod Touch cause the page to crash.

For the Hammerfest page:
 * A1: Text descriptions in the level box go off the page, and have to be viewed while moving a scroll bar
 * A2: Collapsible boxes are already collapsed
 * A3: Viewing a video causes you to view a video at a very small resolution. Due to Angry Birds Nest's promoting of themselves in the video, the green Angry Birds piggy takes up most of the videos, causing you unable to see the video. You can't remove it either.

Viewed again a few weeks later, problems encountered:
 * A4: Videos do not play. I press the play button of a video, a light blue box goes around the area I press. The video doesn't play, but instead, takes me to the file page, where the video also isn't present. I think this may be because the Archos 43 I used has problems playing video - even with the Youtube app from the Google Play store videos fail to play.
 * A5: The text walkthrough part of the level template, the text in this section extends off the page, and the page cannot be scrolled to see it. Ouch.
 * A6: Immensely long loading times. I had to wait 40 seconds for all Hammerfest levels to load, and 1 minutes 40 seconds for all Troll Marsh levels to load. I couldn't move while they were loading, either.

Some of these problems have solutions, as highlighted below. Bold text 1: Information 1 Bold text 2: Information 2
 * A1, A5 - We go back to the regular template look of having bold text followed by a full colon, and then the information, these stacked on each other. E.g:
 * This allows for the text to not go off the page and be unreadable. Furthermore, an email I got from Wikia about mobile even suggests that the wikitables like the ones currently used should not be used for stuff meant for mobile.
 * A2: - We don't use collapsible boxes. In the case they are all collapsed, the presence of the boxes simply just lengthens the page.
 * A6, I1' - Report problem to Wikia
 * A3, A4 - Report problem to Wikia

Please suggest any other ways around or solutions to errors that you may know of. If you have an iPhone or Android, checking the pages Hammerfest, Troll Marsh, Under Dwell, and Icebreaker: A Viking Voyage and sharing your experience and problems will be helpful.

So, can I carry out my first solution? -- 13:20, September 5, 2013 (UTC)
