I am constantly scrolling like crazy to the bottom of threads on my phone, flicking up repeatedly when trying to get to the last reply. On the computer its not as annoying because I can just move the bar or my spin my scrolling wheel on my mouse.

For mobile, would it be possible to have a jump to bottom link at the top when you open a thread? This way it is easy to get to the last reply of a thread.

We're about 2/3-3/4 of the way through a massive mobile overhaul. Still is going to take some time, but we spent a large part of the summer laying the framework for this, so next is implementing the UX that our new fancy "architect" we got from the parent company came up with.

It'll be a phased roll-out, but this should bring some much needed modernization to the mobile interface overall.

We're certainly doing our best to do this one right.

We'll try to make sure you guys are looped in for loads of feedback before we push anything live. Just keep your eyes out for threads announcing that we need beta testers for new features and we welcome feedback.
