m.boards.ie

12-05-2014 3:22pm #1

m.boards.ie has stopped working on my phone for the homepage - 502 bad gateway error or switches to www.boards.ie - and if I go directly to m.boards.ie/subbed it tries to force a switch to touch.boards.ie/subbed and then goes 404

The Hill Billy · 12-05-2014 6:41pm

It is the same for me.

Keith186 · 12-05-2014 7:57pm

And me.

12-05-2014 8:09pm

Me also.

Mena · 12-05-2014 8:21pm

Me too :-(

12-05-2014 8:35pm

Back working for me now. (Thanks!)

Fr Tod Umptious · 12-05-2014 8:37pm

Redirecting to touch for me.... Pita

TheDriver · 12-05-2014 10:04pm

Ditto and I hate using touch.boards.ie

DoctorEdgeWild · 12-05-2014 10:06pm

Back working for me now. It's been on and off for the last hour or so.

Please don't leave me m.boards.ie, I'm sorry I tried touch, it meant nothing to me.

I'm also on ios7...

If I switch to a "tab" that's has an m. page open since yesterday/earlier today it automatically refreshes and shows a touch. 404 error

Annasopra · 12-05-2014 10:10pm

Stopped working for me too

Yes I am on android

Grainne101 · 12-05-2014 10:20pm

Haven't been able to use mobile site in about 2 weeks, redirects to boards.ie, have to go in via google app to get touch

12-05-2014 10:24pm

Hmmm, interesting, works on Chrome for me but not on whatever the 'internet' browser is that came with the phone (Android).

OU812 · 13-05-2014 7:44am

Same here. Hate this "touch" version.

Would make me stop using boards on mobile (which is most of the time).

michellie · 13-05-2014 8:16am

Oh please fix this, it's been driving me nuts since yesterday:(

Stoolbend · 13-05-2014 8:32am

Same here. On Android it redirects to touch.

michellie · 13-05-2014 8:36am

I've cleared the cookies and it's working for me again

helimachoptor · 13-05-2014 10:25am

Stopped working for me this morning, I'm on touch.. And feel dirty!

stevenmu · 13-05-2014 10:26am

It started redirecting to touch.boards.ie a little while ago for me, but now it's redirecting to http://oldcp.dnsmadeeasy.com/lostredirect.html

MuppetCheck · 13-05-2014 10:27am

Same here.

gandalf · 13-05-2014 10:46am

M.boards.ie no longer works on my nexus 7 or my Sony Xperia T. Has it been killed? Feckin hate using touch, it's far slower and clunky.

Ghost Train · 13-05-2014 11:26am

Having trouble too with m.boards

Touch.boards only works on android if I change user agent to iPhone

Any other user agent redirects to full site

13-05-2014 11:53am

I love it, I don't want to use touch

Jet Black · 13-05-2014 12:35pm

Still use it myself and glad to see people are still using it. Don't like touch because its slower, loads less per page and more ads. The ads are barely noticeable on m.boards.

This and the lack of a direct link to the last page of a thread (from the parent forum) makes the experience using the touch interface frustrating for me.
Essentially, it takes more clicks for me to get to read what I want to read.

For the record, I have no access to m.boards.ie from my Android phone. Redirects to either www.boards.ie or touch.boards.ie depending on what I set the user agent to.

s8n · 13-05-2014 12:52pm

can we get an update as to why its stopped working please ??

DoctorEdgeWild · 13-05-2014 1:27pm

Another vote for 'Please keep m.boards.ie' here. 90% of the time, it's how I use boards.

Thanks!

mazza · 13-05-2014 1:53pm

Please sort m.boards.ie out!

Great lightweight browsing and I'm not bothered waiting for touch

Thanks

People still use m.boards.ie? It reminds me of the really **** WAP sites the networks used to have back in 2002.

Yeah because the m.boards.ie is far faster to load on mobile. Touch is more of a resource hog.

Jet Black · 13-05-2014 2:11pm

Back working for me now. Thanks.

13-05-2014 2:14pm

It works! hallelujah!

Snake · 13-05-2014 2:17pm

Dav said earlier there was a problem and it was being fixed, and should be fixed for everyone today.. Also it's being stopped soon

suicide_circus · 13-05-2014 3:31pm

just want to register my love for m.boards.ie

Sorry to whoever developed it but the touch site is a shiit piece and if I was forced to use it by m. becoming unavailable, it would basically stop me using boards on my phone.

Dafuq are you using to browse? A Nokia 3210?

I know you weren't addressing me but in case it helps the site developers or whatever - I use m.boards.ie on Xperia (Android - Chrome/Opera/standard browser), Blackberry (Opera/standard BB browser) and Nexus (Android - Chrome).

I love lightweight web browsing, no fluff/ads/bloat/nonsense. Apart from the nonsense I like.

Dav · 13-05-2014 3:55pm

m. has two weeks (I'm putting a notice about this up now).

We ran into a problem that the lads were able to patch but it's not permanent. We're going to be shutting m. off in a couple of weeks permanently.

I'm genuinely stunned that so many people are still using m. - it's a horrible looking interface.

Sad to hear it but thanks for letting us know. I'll organise some kind of shutting down party where those of us who still use it can stand around sadly looking lost as flashy modern technology renders our once familiar world alien. Venue TBA.

And dav upholds his decision this is sure to cause quite a stir within the community

No... it's a great interface. Lovely and simple when I'm on the phone which is all I need, not shiny buttons and displays and lights and things

cullenswood · 13-05-2014 4:05pm

Nooooo. Its much easier traverse the m. site on my phone (HTC One so it has a large screen) than it is to move around the full site. And the touch site is horrible.

you said m instead of touch there didn't you?

Dia1988 · 13-05-2014 4:10pm

When can we expect a Boards.ie App?

Ghost Train · 13-05-2014 4:12pm

Really disappointed to hear your dropping m.boards. Find it much more consistent across range of mobile devices than the touch site. Even on things like readers or old phones it was the one site that always worked well.

MarkR · 13-05-2014 4:18pm

I think some attempted to explain it to me before, but touch is a pain in the arse. Looking at the pages of new posts, click the next page, and some of the same posts are still there. I know there was other things, but I can't recall what they were! I really must start documenting my rants.

OU812 · 13-05-2014 4:24pm

Not enough revenue being generated off it is my guess. The other one looks ****e & is buggy as hell.

efb · 13-05-2014 5:16pm

Missing m.boards.ie I find touch.boards too chunky

CSSE09 · 13-05-2014 5:29pm

Very disappointed m is getting dropped, I dislike the touch design so much I won't be using boards on my mobile anymore which is what I use the most.
