Comment on HN now mostly readable on mobile

Comments

The comments don't render correctly on FF on Android. They all render one after another and it's impossible to tell which comments are replies and which aren't. :(

Same problem here. You can see the same effect on desktop FF by narrowing your window.

been like this for a week maybe. I thought this was going to be them fixing it.

'pparently not

Yes, that's totally broken. Sorry; we'll fix it.

Can you also switch from the current indentation layout (via images in a table) to a div-based layout where all subcomments are inside the element of the parent comment?

Like, currently it’s

    <tr><td><img width="40"></td><td>Text1</td></tr>
    <tr><td><img width="60"></td><td>Text2</td></tr>
After it would be
    <li class="comment">
      <p>Text1</p>
      <ul class="subcomments">
        <li class="comment>
          <p>Text2</p>
        </li>
      </ul>
    </li>

Same here. I've been using a desktop user-agent to get rid of this.

I actually find myself reading the site considerably less because of this, I'm sure I'm not the only one. Please let me set a cookie to keep the desktop version!!

If using mobile Firefox on Android, there's "request desktop version" on the menu pulldown.

HN renders pretty good on Ubuntu Phone
