it's your call..opinions needed regarding VC 2.0 smartphone layout (thats layout for devices smaller than tablets):

The dilemma: Smartphones use different types of "manouvering" the screen and different short cuts. Basically every type of click, tap, double click, drag is already taken by one or another mobile smartphone and there is no standard! That means: Our zoom-function on an image either interferes with "scroll down" or with "save as" or with "send to printer" or something else...everything you can imagine seems to be taken depending on the type of device you are using.

That means: No matter what we code, instead of our zoom your smart phone asks to save the pic instead of opening it, or if you try to save it, it opens the zoom or it scrolls down or whatever...crazy shit of today "non standardized human machine interaction".

The only solution which comes to my mind right now: Add button for mobile users. But hey: Our mission was to have less space for controls on mobiles and more space for the "net-content", which is the image.

That would mean: Hide all freaking buttons on mobiles unless somebody wants to see and use them. Now my question to the posters here: How much of the information below each post would you OK to hide on small devices? The link to your blog? The PM? The tags? Maybe even your story? The link to your comment page?
Hide means: The standard mobile would not show these until "show buttons or whatever" would be clicked on a post. of course we can reduce it to a plain photo show..which would be the extreme..but hey: As far as I know our "lazy" users, only one out of 100 would realistically open the accompanying information,,and that can lead to frustration of the posters.

On the other hand: Thinking about the old version we had: Mobile users were not able to read or click any of the small printed meta information beneath the posts unless they used two fingers to zoom on that line, read it, and then zoom back to move on to the next...please consider this too!

Your input please!!!

And to make everything more crazy, some pictures that don't have the mega blow-up feature can still be saved. But for example, Mariebook had a pic this morning that I wanted to save, but instead of a right click giving the menu it just blew up to the close-up version.

i would show the pic, the "like" button and a button to comment. That's it. If you want to make a comment then it will show any other buttons you want, including the posters name, tags, reputation, etc...

It's also time to call is a "like" button instead of a "lick" button again. The person who recommended that change is long gone after saying she'd always be posting here for free. Lick is childish

And what about developping ios and android apps? Just thinking loud, no idea about the work involved....

not feasible: Apple does not allow "adult apps" to be distributed thru iTunes....

Opinion regarding VC 2.0 smartphone layout :
I like the zoom and new layout, Pc is method of my choice and used most often, also use Iphone, Ipad Given a choice I have no problem with "On the other hand: Thinking about the old version we had: Mobile users were not able to read or click any of the small printed meta information beneath the posts unless they used two fingers to zoom on that line, read it, and then zoom back to move on to the next...please consider this too!" it works for me .....

We had no issues at all with the old format on our iPhones . Can we not still use that format for mobiles ? New format on the laptop is great

Definitely keep the link to comments!

My problem with the photos on my PC is that I cannot save them anymore. I used to right click on the photos and get a small menu that included "save a copy". I love to save copies but it looks like I can't. The photos now just blow up. Yikes.

Can you tell me how to save the photos that get bigger when you put the cursor over them???

Thanks, Emily

Also, on a separate note, the notifications don't automatically update the number as they did before.

Ok so honestly I haven't looked though the rest of the comments. I'm mostly a phone user so her is what I'd like to see.
Samsung Galaxy 5s
I like to be able to see comments and private messages as well as being able.to jump back to your private wall in a click or two.

I prefer having the name of the poster shown at the bottom and clickable so I can go to their blog if I'd like but if you really look at a post, it shows their name when it says "posted for vresidents by xxx", then it says their name again before the story for the pic and then their name appears again at the bottom where it is clickable to go to their blog.
The Lick button should be shown as well as the bubble showing how many comments and the number of licks. We also don't need to see all the tags on the first pass and wouldn't mind having a show tags symbol or something .
Also the font size above the pics for the story is very large and if it could be reduced for mobile, it would give us a little more space.
I have noticed some off things on iphone 5.5 and chrome.
1. when leaving a comment for a post, the vcity banner with the menu button always blocks the top of the text box so you can't see the first line of text you are typing. I have a screen shot I can send you if you'd like.

I love the floating semi transparent button that takes us to the top of the page. I wouldn't mind having the same type of buttons floating on the left side for the notifications and one for our home..just showing the head icon, don't need our name.

Sorry if this was all over the place, I was chatting, watching TV and writing this comment! :)

The old system was much easier to use on my iPhone 3 and with the new layout I can't zoom or access the higher res pics , my subscription ends in a few days and the way the site works now I won't be renewing

I understand your point about standarization... but there are still tons of buttons when you allow tags, there pics and Vcitizens or VResidents who thinks creatively and put dozens of tags, one way to reduce them will increase space in Smartphone, and mine is 5" !!

iPhone user here... I was quite happy with the old system. I could use two fingers (not difficult) to zoom, and could save photos by simply keeping my finger on it (equal to right click on laptop). Doing so meant I could view ALL the info I wanted even if it was necessary to zoom to read it.
I don' t know about other users, but my phone is used for VC only when I am out and about. My laptop is my gospel.

This seem a bit like Microsoft's history of to make a single OS for all PC's of all manufacturers... in doing so it creates bugs as one OS does not equate across all hardware. Making it perfect for any specific hardware ruins it for everyone else.
With smartphone accessing web content there will always be a compromise. Meanwhile the specific OS's and browsers continue to evolve.

Galaxy 5 S....... If you hold your finger down on a photo the zoom kicks in.... If you take your finger off, it reverts back to original size.... The catch is.... If you hold your finger down on the picture and don't release, you can then navigate across the zoomed in photo.... The second you take your finger away it minimizes.....

Was not once asked to save... It works for me, I guess.... My preference is the PC.... That is always flawless...

I don't need anything but the photo and the comments... Have no use for tags or anything else.... On mobile....

I think that it would be good to hide the tags as the tags use up way to much vertical screen space. Also I don't think these tags would be used much.

They are used a lot. One out of 5 users click 1 tag on every 4th post -> 1/20th relevancy (5% relevancy) which is a lot!

flag as inappropriate Michelle    Dec. 17, 2014

Is it possible to have only the lick button and the comments button below the pic? Then have all the rest of what's currently under the pic on the comments page?

Not even your nick?

Wouldn't that be at the top with your story?
