We improve the mobile design of Wix Forum - so your forums will look better on mobile!
Check it out on your phones :)
New design (left image) vs old design (right image).
So what's the difference?
Category info is not on the image anymore - to improve readability
Forum name is not in the header anymore - so now you can see the full name
Inside category page - header is gone - to expose more posts data
Let us know what you think :)
I know some of you also want to have the site header - we are also considering allowing this in the future, stay tuned.
Hi, great new feature. I have a problem though.
I have set the language to Danish but the sub-categories infos are not translated to Danish: New category description, views and posts... How can I change it to show up in danish language as well?
Regards
Hi bellamansgade2,
I guess you wrote this regarding the sub categories feature and not the mobile design uplift
We are working on having the translation for sub categories as well.
Yes I want the site header please! :)
Ok for now let's discuss about the mobile design. Overall wise the readability has gone up a bit. But why is the category description gone now? I use it to describe the content, so people will know what the category is all about. Though I think for the main page it is better to be like right now (without description), but when people open up the categories I think it is nicer to have the description there. The thing is in my website I link to one of the category instead of the main page, so people directly will see inside the category. If they need to go back to the main page first to grasp what is the category that they see is all about, then it is just not great.
This actually also happen in the desktop view as well, because I turn off the header for the category and also the main page, so there is no single description inside the category. While for the main page I create my own forum header with its own description, so no worries for that.
In the image attached I give a suggestion where to place the category description in mobile view. While for the desktop view, please make an alternative description placement for those who turn off the header.
If the site header comes back later, could you please make an on/off option whether to show the forum name or not. Because I will turn it off as I have my own custom made forum name and its description. Thanks Rafi!
Hi, I added a quick action button for mobile but it's hidden in the forum :(
Seems broken since the "quick action" button is a wix mobile feature.... I need it there too.
Thanks
Also another thing. The color for the main page is off. The box doesn't follow the color that I choose in desktop view, which is supposed to be white, instead it uses the foreground color.
Though the color inside the category is already correct.
nice new design but i have to change all my ads and invitation card too ((
Nice design )) well done ...
I have a strip with buttons on, on my site: https://www.danskkirurgiskselskab.dk/nyheder-i-fagomraaderne, but when I visit the site from mobile devices, the strip with buttons disappear, even the footer disappears.
How do I get all of it to appear on the mobile site aswell?
Here is how it looks on mobile device.
andlusim - noted. I understand what you saying about the description - we will see what we will do with that.
Ofek - we're aware to this issue, and we will fix it
magnus - its correctly impossible to show header & footer on Wix forum page on mobile - but we're working on that
Hey Rafi Laufer,
I understand why you have removed the category labels, but it could have been better if that was left as an option to the administrator, to either show or hide them. Now, while using the mobile version, we have only the header labels for the categories, and it is not always possible to get the full information regarding the content for that category. Please let this feature be an optional switch for the forum administrator, otherwise it is a trouble.
Great Design!
However - the three vertical dots next to category name display an empty box when clicked by a user that is not an admin, please fix.
Also, while we are talking mobile - any updates on the progress of what Wix is doing to fix speed on mobile?
Thanks
Completely ruined the look and feel of the mobile version. I want the old theme/layout back, it should be our choice.
Agree with blinq chat!.. "..I want the old theme/layout back, it should be our choice. "
It takes forever to load on mobile! Can you at least please add a preloader? Thanks
I just got this message from Google - is this related to WIX mobile changes?
" New Accelerated Mobile Pages issue detected for site ....."
@Ofek Mizrahi you can add a preloader. check my website www.medhepatogastro.com
I understood some of you want the header ability back in mobile - we will see what we can do with that.
It looks great, but is too slow to load. This is a really big problem, because people won't wait 20-30 sec. for a page to load, so they won't see how great it looks.
@Rannveig you use a preloading page for your forum. check mine www.medhepatogastro.com
@Dr. Yannick - it looks good. I have a link to the most recent posts that loads quicker and is visible while the forum is loading. But I don't think it's enough to keep people waiting - you can't compete with facebook groups with such a long loading time. Especially because you have to wait for the forum to load to see if there are any updates. gardaflora.is/forum/
