    More of a question to STW Towers than general forum stuff. Any plans make the website responsive?

    I’ll be watching this thread, if only to learn what the question even means.

    Hello STW.

    More worried when it answers

    You click on things and stuff happens?

    Doesn’t it already do that?

    Basically it means a dedicated mobile version of the site, which you get sent to if you’re on a mobile.

    I’ve considered making my own app to read the site, just cos I want one.

    Seems pretty responsive to me. Sub 1 second page load.
    Though I suspect the helps a lot:

    Actually, that’s the exact opposite of what it means.

    It means the layout and navigation of the content of the site dynamically adjusts to a more appropriate layout based on the resolution of window it detects it’s being displayed in.

    Sort of but people tend to use it to mean that the same site remodels itself to suit whatever device you read it on using for ex. CSS3 (as opposed to redirecting to mobile.stw.com or whatever)

    [pedant] technically a single site that is designed with a fluid layout that adapts to the viewer’s device regardless of screen size rather than a separate mobile specific site. [/pedant]

    Edit – beaten to it.

    I often get large delays due to the criteo.com ad links on the webpages.

    A hosts file redirect to 127.0.0.1 was on the cards but it seems to be behaving currently.

    and shortly after that it becomes sentient?

    as long as they don’t run it on a server called Wintermute we’ll probably be ok.

    Blimmin web designers.

    Responsive (should) refer to how quickly something responds, which is what I thought the OP meant.

    If we are talking about mobile/small-screen friendly design then yes please (though to be honest it works pretty well on an iphone at the moment).

    You’re right, had a bit of a brainfart.

    I work in content rather than tech.

    There was a plan once upon a time to migrate to the same software as the Grit.CX forum (which does forum alerts etc) but this appears to be on the back burner.

    Works fine on my phone, tablet and laptop. Please don’t change anything! 😯

    Considering this website was written about the same time Win XP and the first Ipod were released, and has essentially never changed since, then I doubt a responsive website is going to happen anytime soon ever.

    I’m sure that’s in the new version of the website.

    I think it’s due at Christmas (2012)
