First, I want to say that I am using a smartphone to browse the 'Dex for about two years now. It was mostly alright.

With recent developments, though, it turned into quite a hassle because of how the interface panel on the top was reworked.

Here is how it looked before:

Note the Username/Inbox/Alerts menu in the upprer-right corner. It still works that way on PC and you can still see this interface while the page is loading.

When it loads, though, it becomes like this:

Note that the Inbox/Alerts buttons are gone. I can not see what kind of Alert I get without going to the corresponding page, nor can I access my updated conversations directly (or even find out which one was updated) without going to the conversation list first.

It eats traffic and it interferes with the user experience in an unfortunate way. Before, I could check the alert/inbox pop-up menu and if it didn't interest me, I could get back to whatever I was doing. Now I have to wait until it load a whole another page for it.

It would be nice if the Inbox/Alerts buttons made it back.

Summoning Taluntain. Such is the burden of being helpful, I am afraid. :salute:

Who is responsible for making changes to the mobile version of the codex, and will something be done about the subj eventually? Since most of the not-so-welcome changes got reverted, I am kind of hopeful this one does as well.
