Having already given us an awesome membership system, notifications and comment voting, our hard-working tech team continues to deliver the goods. Our mobile site now delivers all our site functionality in a small-screen friendly mobile format, you can make Twitter-style @mentions, and we’ve added a bunch of WYSWIWG formatting.
We’ve had lots of requests for the mobile site to return, so it’s great to have it back better than ever. You don’t need a specific address to access it; we auto-detect (most) mobile browsers and switch to the mobile look. All the features of the membership system work on the mobile site. You can toggle between the mobile and desktop versions using the link at the bottom of the page (handy if auto-detection doesn’t work for some reason or you prefer the desktop view on your phone).
Typing @username in a comment will trigger our notification systems, so you’ll know whenever you’re mentioned in a comment on Lifehacker (and also on Gizmodo and Kotaku). You can also bold, italicise and underline your text, and add a spoiler tag if needed. I’m not quite sure what qualifies as a spoiler in Lifehacker terms, but I’m open to suggestions . . .
If your run into any issues or bugs, let us know in the comments. Enjoy (and thanks Ben and Rob for all the new options)!
