L19 / Eidogo on Tablet

Post by hibbs »

Hi all,

I have a question regarding the embedded SGF viewer (I think this is Eidogo). I regularly use a tablet to browse the forum. However, using the SGF viewer is really a pain. The problem is that the "next move" button is so close to the slide control. I happens occasionally that while going through the SGF, I hit the slide control and all of a sudden I am at a totally different position in the game. If this happens two or three times I usually loose my interest to continue.
I think I am not particularly clumsy, it is just that this interface does not work well on tablets. Am I the only one who gets annoyed by this and might there be a solution that I overlooked?

I have had the exact same experience, and have therefore completely stopped looking at game records on mobile devices. If it's a game I really want to see, I'll move my posterior to the nearest computer, but I usually lose interest, just like you described.

eidogo layout is configurable via css.
I did a try to add more space between buttons here :

I also would prefer that... what can we do next ? ask an admin ? or a vote ? to see if that version
is better for every one ?

I think it's an improvement for touch screens. We might consider creating bigger buttons with less space between them as well.
