I use it but only once out the house. I got a PM while walking home from the Doctors and felt obliged to reply lol. It's good when I'm sat in bed I suppose.

To make sure you always end up on the mobile version, bookmark this:
http://www.habboxforum.com/?styleid=62

Then everytime you go on HxF it'll be mobile.

No search feature, its really basic.. Hard to press the links when you use an iphone/ipod touch
When you type on the iphone/ipod touch the textbox does not scroll, the text is static.
When you click a username you can't even find more posts from the same user, or view threads from this user..

And these...

Fourth suggestion, is it possible to add what the last reputation you received was under the UserCP? The whole list of reputations isn't needed, just the last one or two. and you don't need a picture, maybe just the colour and who it was from? For example: Nice post - Blinger for a positive or That was pointless - Blinger for a negative?
(this one is not too important)

Okay so in reply.

Sorry it doesn't auto detect your mobile. I had this working but I guess I don't anymore. I shall place it on my to do list.

The mobile skin is very very basic so that it can support mobiles which aren't quite as technologically advanced in web browsing such as iPhones or PSP's. This is another reason as to why we don't have a search feature or rep points on the forum index as it takes some time to load and those with a slower erm net connection such as EDGE or 3G as oppose to wifi enabled portable devices.

I am not exactly too how much longer we will be keeping the mobile style around for. I am considering sometime in the future to have a full sized style which lacks certain images because mobile web browsing is become more and more advanced. Hopefully this should resolve a few of the issues and increase the number of useful features.

May we worth creating a poll directed at the mobile skin users to see what sort of devices they use with the mobile style.

I use 3G to surf HabboxForum sometimes (when i'm away from home) and its fine. Nothing loads slow at all, I can't speak for EDGE because that costs extra for me.. The search option is horrible, i'd be surprised if ANYTHING on it worked!! I still think you could add a simple link to show posts by a user on their profile. That wouldn't take up extra time (loading the page) and would be very useful.

Before you get rid of the mobile skin you should add the new one, that way us mobile skin users don't have to load the normal page which will take forever!
The links are so fiddle-y on the iPhone, i almost always hit the wrong link unless i zoom in, and I have normal fingers! Imagine what fat people have to go through :(

Could be a good idea.
