Great job jabronis - attached picture is what the site looks like on an old phone. All the buttons are broken and do nothing, except for the Modlog which somehow is still accessible. Tried different browsers on the phone, tried clearing all the cookies and cache, still doesn't work.
EDIT: This came off a bit hot and aggro - it just sucks since pre-migration the site worked fine on my dinosaur phone, so I'm pretty frustrated. Makes me appreciate communist web-design (like marxists.org and redsails.org) even more.
Your phone is old enough, it might be worth looking into flashing some sort of open source ROM that replaces your old iOS and gives you a newer browser and security updates. It's actually a bit of a security issue that apple puts on you by not updating their shit.
That sounds scary, but I'll look into it - thanks!
Also, I saw your edit, so please disregard my post about treating the devs right. I get being aggro and frustrated. This is just a really hard thing for to actually work around usually. The web is a mess.
It could be, but it might also give your shit some new life if you've kept the hardware in good shape. I know on Android at least it can work well, I'd assume there are similar open source options for iphone.
Looks like the most you can do with an iPhone is jailbreak it. That might open up access to an alternative web browser (e.g. one on which this site works), though, so it might be worth a shot.
There are no alternatives on iOS since the jailbreak community is so small and apple only allows webkit browsers.
This means that all browsers are just safari wrappers, truly 1984.
Sounds like anything remotely modern would probably do it.
"Do you guys not have phones?"
Well the thing that's honestly probably making this happen is some bullshit JavaScript library using some newer thing that the version of safari you're stuck with can't figure out. Which really blows because it sucks for you, and it sucks for the devs, and it sucks for everyone but apple.
I hope you believe me when I say that I understand tech well enough to hate it at levels most folks don't know they should. As bad as you think it is, it is probably much worse. I don't blame you for having an old phone, we all do what we can out here to survive and have the pleasure we can get. Hellworlds just hell.
