And then there's a console's main page:
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/game/nintendo-switch


Its sorted by Popularity but no indication if thats game or board or what. Not that gamefaqs indicated that in the past.

but look how lazy that looks. 3 drop downs, no space between them, all like some sort of proof of concept for a Web Design 101 class in HIGH SCHOOL

As they should be.

or, you can use the technology that's existed for like a decade and make a separate mobile-optimized version. m. sites exist for a fucking reason.

Mobile shit forced on PC users, again.

GameFAQs still trying to figure out how to design a forum, when everyone ( including fansites) already figured it out 17 years ago.

i don't do a lot of web design. is that basically the same thing, but it just detects the users screen size and grabs the appropriate layout? so, the designers are still making a dedicated mobile interface, they just don't have to set it up as a mobile site now?

there are plenty of sites that are optimized for mobile and are great on PC still. it's just GFaqs being goofy as usual.

Pretty much, but it's vastly simpler to maintain than having a whole 'nother mobile site, and keeps the URLs canonical across devices.

I like how someone even points out the beta was received very negatively but they went with this anyway. :/

Also no complaints only suggestions to approve what people are trying to tell them is pretty broke.
Feedback has never changed anything when it comes to stuff like this.

I had 20 posts per page. I found it more manageable.

50 being forced is just inconvenient.

It was an option for a reason.

what the hell is this, 2006? I know BC classic just came out, but still. I don't like the extra stuff on the right side while in a topic, it's distracting. it's fine on the topic list though

I'm wondering if it states in Allen's contract that he has to do at least one overhaul each year on this site. One year it was the introduction of the badges (bad), then the upload image (good) and now this awful change to the game boards. Perhaps next year he'll revert the change and that'll fullfil his contract quota for the year.
The issue is if he knew that he should be asking users what they want for new features and stuff that people would be happy Allen added.

We know the beta had horrible feedback but apparently it was ignored and we see how that went.
