FlyerTalk new Mobile Skin issues, glitches, questions etc.
The new platform that rolled out today isn't very user friendly. You are now unable to toggle between pages with out typing in the page number. There should be arrows for going to the last page and another for jumping to the next page. It's difficult to have to enter the page number manually. Can this feature be looked at for a modification?

We have moved your post from TalkBoard Topics to the more appropriate Trchnical Support and Ffednack forum. It may be merged soon.

This is ridiculous
The mobile interface is clunky and dated. How hard is it for IB crack IT team to redeploy the "app" without throwing thousands of dollars I yo dev. Time? There are lots of wrappers you can use out there until you get things stabilized and the big boss signs off on the paperwork. Until then, maybe I'll just use my desktop and only visit threads occasionally. At least on the desktop, I'm not seeing banner ads. I understand that this is really all about selling ad space and not about providing any sense of community as it was in the past.

What happened to "mobile.flyertalk.com"?
Looks like it's dead.
Flyertalk.com on mobile shows a mobile-formatted site, but it doesn't seem to have the clean interface and simple lists the old mobile.flyertalk.com site used to have, the most important of which were:
Recent Posts
My forums
My threads
etc.
Where can I get easy access to those features now on a mobile browser?

I used an app on my android tablet up until this week. It was fine to use but now it's getting an error and won't load. I don't see it anymore in the playstore, has it been removed?

Clicking on a previously read thread in the mobile view doesn't take you to the first unread post, but to a somewhat earlier one that you've already read. (Not the first post, and I haven't worked out exactly how much earlier.)
Otherwise I kind of like the new format. :-)
