Today's update: improving the site on mobile devices (smartphones and small tablets)

I hope it will work fine on all devices, as it is often painful to get it correct on the various hardware & software. Especially the old iphones with an outdated Safari.
It is not yet perfect, but I think it is already much more useable.

To keep the well-loved outdated retro theme unchanged on desktop, I relied on CSS to change the layout only for mobiles, and with a few javascript to move all the account/management/admin links into a "hamburger" menu in the top right corner.

So all the links appearing between [ ] in the title bars of the desktop version of the site), including the login link, can be found in that new menu.

Known issue that will stay:
- if you switch between compact/mobile and regular view (by resizing the window or turning the device), the content of the "hamburger" menu (in the corner) is not properly updated. Reloading the page solves the issue.

Known issues to be improved:
- the pages where lists with columns are displayed are not yet optimized, I'll see what I can do
- comments view could still be improved, but should already be better than before.

If you prefer to have the old/desktop style on mobile, it should still work if you enable the option "desktop version" (or something like that) in the menu of your mobile browser.

The snow effect of the header is not enabled on mobile, as I guess it is even less useful there.

I assume this is part of the update - a really annoying issue I just encountered is that it shrinks "fullpics" into unclickable thumbnails in wrong ratio that look like crap.

Example: https://www.imcdb.org/movie_1004525008-Lene-Marlin--What-If.html#Comment3642973

Can this be resolved?

What do you mean? Can you include a screen capture? (and which browser you use)

It did that for me too while the list loads but it quickly turns to normal (Chrome both on Android phone and PC).

Yes it is probably while loading the page, as the list is very long the browser takes some time to do the rendering of the needed number of columns.
Before it was made with a table and fixed columns.

Minor change: now when editing or deleting a comment you are directly redirected to the source page, instead of having to click on the "Back" link on the page saying that the operation was successful.

Overlap happens for me as well when I click my bookmark in Safari. I just refresh my browser page and the overlap goes away.

Not sure if my bookmark is old but a quick refresh works for me.

Thanks to dhill_cb7's tip. I just used the <ctrl>-<F5> keyboard combination to refresh the page and that resolved the problem.

Antp is there any way to encourage contributors to add the old main image as a thumbnail when they drastically change the main image?

I am trying to help validate for night cub and walter and I have run into this in both movies I validated.

I wasn’t sure if there was a warning or possibly some alert when changing the main image to a totally different frame?

Apparently the <Ctrl>-F5> refresh did not work now :sad:

Ctrl+F5 refreshes all files (images, style sheets, etc.), that's a little heavy juste to force the browser to reload the page, a simple F5 should be enough, but even that should not be needed: he should be able to render that list on its first try.
Otherwise try resizing a little the page to force it to redraw the list?
I had no issue with that page in Firefox, I have not much tested in Edge, but it seemed to work.

There is already a note about that.
And the more notes I put the higher is the risk of not reading notes :grin:
If we make the remark to a user, he should understand and do it the next time, no?
I can't detect if the image is drastically different or not (well there are probably ways to do that, I don't know what would be the cost for that and the time needed though).

edit: the note says:
When replacing an existing picture, the new picture must usually be the same scene in an higher quality, except if there is a really better view of the new vehicle. For providing additional images, please rather post them in the comments.

I'll add a precision about putting the old one in comments, but as I said it is something we can say to the contributors: normally those who replace pictures are more used to imcdb than the average new users.

edit2: the new note is:
When replacing an existing picture, the new picture must usually be the same scene in an higher quality, except if there is a really better view of the new vehicle. In this latter case, please include the old main picture (or a new capture of the same scene) in the comments for history/reference, so admins can directly validate the new one.

I resized the page to make it wee bit wider that fixed the problem. :smile: Apparently when the overlapping first column forced to go to the second column on my original browser size setting.

Oh, by the way I'm using the Microsoft Edge Chromium Version 131.0.2903.112 (Official build) (64-bit).
