I think newschoolers should make an app, everyone has a smart phone and im sure at least half use it for this site on occasion. Does anyone else agree? maybe just like something that can launch the site?

Yep went on the mobile site for the first time in a while, and tht eimporvements which have been made are definately for the better. Most of the old bugs seem to have been solved.

I agree guys. But im thinking just like an app thing that can launch the site, like a shortcut. It just takes forever to get to the site, get logged in and actually use it IMO.

Sometimes, I'll just keep myself logged in on my mobile to avoid this pitfall.

Not the most secure option, but hey, it works.

I wish they would add a feature where you could see your profile photos and be able to directly upload photos from your phone

It exists, but it's awful.

the mobile site is good for sure, but an app would be really nice to have. I remember the old app though that was pretty brutal.

when you go on the sight on your ipod, at the botton the is a square with an arrow going out of it, hit that, then click, 'add to home screen' and that working for me. it just takes you to the sight, its like a short cut

It would help a lot but the app would just make everything easier especially on a phone
