Allowing users to choose how many posts per page would also help in mobile usability, since there is large bandwidth used in headers and footers, but relatively low overhead on adding more posts per page.

20 posts per page, for example, loads much faster and lighter on a phone than does loading page 1 and then clicking page 2.

I threw my clubs into the lake so it's time to start over...

It's in beta. Let me know when it's not in beta and I'll consider using it.

That's not going to change. And if I did have a mobile skin, it wouldn't have "large bandwidth" sections at all. It'd mostly be text.

Why are you so obstinate with regards to posts per page? You can't honestly expect that requiring users to reload the page 3 times to view the 20th post will generate more adclicks?

I'm nearly positive that there are default skins built into vB that work better for mobile users than the current side-by-side skin. The filesize of the page really isn't nearly as important to mobile users as the fact that scrolling is minimized as much as possible by keeping tables featuring text as wide as possible (ideally 90-100% of screen width.) Installing one of the vertically-oriented skins would be plenty of help to mobile users.

I have my reasons. Nothing more really needs to be said.

And regarding a mobile skin, I'm not terribly interested in installing a mobile version when I can't even test it and when mobile traffic on the site accounts for 0.001% of our traffic.

      Approach Play to Elevated / Lowered Greens?

      By Shindig · Posted

      Can you elaborate on this?  There's a par-4 hole at the course I've played the most (was my home course for over a decade, now 50 miles away but I still go and play there) whose green is below the fairway and I realized recently it's one of three holes on the course I've never made birdie, despite that I often have a short iron into the green for my second shot.  It isn't even that I haven't made birdie, but I realize I often don't hit the green.  My typical play of the hole is to have a near-GIR and sometimes I get up and down, but not as often as I would if I were trying to 2-putt.
