It's a bit cluttered isn't it?
The layout is horrendous and navigating is a bit crappy on a mobile device. There's just too much 'stuff'.

I've yet to find a mobile website that's any good, either they bury the information away down the menu system or its a screen of total chaos.

I tend to use the desktop sites on my mobile and find it ten times easier.

On Wikiwirral I use the old stylesheet (wiki-green-grey).

I find it fine on my phone. Like dd i uae the deaktop version on my phone which shows the green/grey style.

I agree with dd that there's not many sites that have a good mobile version, the amount i've found i can count on one hand.

For the record my phone is a samsung galaxy s7 so my screen isn't the biggest but nor is it the smallest and i find wikiwirral ok on my screen

Just a thought Dave, why has it taken 14 years for you decide you don't like it smile

Fails I'm afraid, they have used a picture to display text which means as the page size is scaled down, so is the font size. The idea is that fonts remain readable on a mobile webpage.

This is one of the pictures with text (contains bad language)...

Define the difference between trolling and humour? It just depends which side of the gate your on, much the same as bullying and banter.
