Hi Gav,
Looks like you have put an lot of effort in this, thanks
On my phone it looks pretty ok.. needs some getting used to, but normal pages work fine.
The stories are good readable, pages look good...
Just looks like it meant to be use with your phone flat and not standing up.
Leaves very little space on a 19/10 screen ratio phone, with top and bottom bars
Bet on a 3/4 ration ipad or tab it works fine, but on a 19/10 HD phone its not great
Would like to see it more responsive to a standing position on mobile devices so please reduce the size of the fonts like half
Only the chat rooms on my phone didn't improve...
pictures are pulled out of proportions..
so many buttons to push to select someone to talk too (why cant you select them from the list),or do some settings like turning off and on pictures
I got a pretty big phone (6 inch), but still by blowing up everything the screen is full immediately.
I liked the old chatroom's much better, easier to navigate even on my phone.. all buttons visual and with the zoom of my phone good to handle
Then you offer the option to go back to the old version but the red top controls screw up... on the phone and on the website
So also not an option at the moment
Sometimes I need my phone to access because sometimes Lush gets blocked...
now its much harder to have fun in these place with the chat rooms not working properly.
Oh on the webside the tabs of the mail are missing on the messages.. on the phone it works...
Hope you can do some thing with this feedback and keep up the good work
Thanks for all the good work
Mike

Keep up the good work Gav! Making a massive 13-year-old website responsive surely is a daunting task.
If you run into issues that you'd like a front-end dev to look at, feel free to contact me. Perhaps I may be able to help.

Generally i find this design on my desktop to be inferior. There is too much white space and less information available on almost all the screens. The chat room width adjustment suddenly removes the list of users. I can no longer put two windows side by side on my screen. I have also had the chat room looses the posting box when I resize the window. I am using the Brave browser on Mac.
The private chat window no longer has the avatar of the other person. There are 4 buttons at the top that don't seem to work.
Never having used Lush on my phone, I guess I don't appreciate the improvements.
Missing all the MAILBOX options. No sent box etc. And missing the Saved Chats and Saved onscreen black boxes. I really liked that feature, why is it gone.
Sent Items is no longer available.
Thanks. I know this is an enormous project.
I have to agree with Buzz. I liked the old format much better. This one is cumbersome. I miss being able to black box more than one person on my friends' list easily. Now I can't do that on the desktop version either without actually going into their profiles which ruins a 3 way, via black boxing (instant messaging). Before the change on my desktop I could hover my mouse over someone's name and I had the drop box options...private message, poke, instant messaging, etc.
When I use my phone now the pictures and words are so large it's distorted. When I tried black boxing (instant messaging) the keyboard on my phone covers what I'm typing in the black box. So for me, using my phone is useless and that was how I was on lush half of the time. It makes lush much less more appealing. I've stopped using my mobile device altogether.
Phone works really well and I think I prefer it to what it was previously. Like Paintmaker said earlier, on my computer, I don't access to the email tabs any more.
I have cleared by browser cache and it made no difference to the ability to view mailbox options
My settings and mailbox tabs are both back now. Not sure when that happened, but thanks.
In the chat rooms top right we have Home, Chat Rooms and Leave Room. The Leave Room is overwriting part of the Chat Rooms option.
Apologies if this has already been flagged.
This morning when I got on I have no message/ friends/ away/profile bar. Can’t get to my friends, log in,get message or see my profile/timeline. Sorry but I’m really getting frustrated! I’m using the desktop version on my phone and so far it’s getting worse. What am I doing wrong or can it be fixed?
EDIT
I found it but I can only access it from the forums page because it so darn small I can barely see it anywhere else. When I expand the screen it slides off the page and my frustrations grow! I never had to enlarge anything on my phone before the “update”
I can no longer open my messages. I get notifications that they have arrived, but they are not in the inbox.
