Forum being unreadable/very hard to use on cellphones

Postby Jirafalox » 05 Jun 2025, 18:38

Hi Manu, I wanted to tell you (cus i havent seen anyone write about this) that the forum is very very hard to navigate for younger people in general, and is even more counter intuitive to use on a cellphone. Knowing the succes the game had on consoles, these players if they don't own or have easy access to a PC might resort to using their cellphones to read the forum, or trying to participate in the online tour and is very hard. For example, I've tried with Safari and Brave browsers on my iphone and the tournaments page doesnt work properly, like you can only see the first round of draws and that's it, even if you put the cellphone in horizontal view it doesn't seem to work. There are any plans to "modernize" the forum/page visually? To make it more user friendly? Like a visual revamp, it doesnt need to be a new whole thing either.
I know lots of younger people that play this game everyday that don't read the forum because they simply don't get it. For me personally I'm 25 years old and this is the only forum I've ever used in my life.
Or at the very least, make it more cellphone friendly/compatible? IDK if its possible to have a smartphone version of the web site

Also quick suggestion or idea. Have you thought about the inclusion of a QR code with the link of the forum and tournaments inscription for Console version of the game in the Online Tab? Like in the blank spaces in the menu you could add 1 or 2 QR codes so console players could check it out in their smartphones.

Hello,

I did a quick check and the forum was fine on my mobile.

However, indeed the draws & some other stuff didn't work with a small width ; I changed so now it's possible to scroll them left/right in such a case.

Maybe I'll add the QR codes someday.
