No Caption Provided

4 quotes or more? BAD. Look and see why:


 
 

Like anyone wants to see their scrollbar stretched to its max because of one-character-per-line quotes.

On my EVO you can rotate the phone to horizontal and the aspect ratio changes. Wouldn't that fix it? Can't you do that with your thing?

Does the mobile site render in landscape? that might alleviate things. Or change the way you use the site just by access the features on the move instead of the forums. I'm sure if you report this as a display bug/issue Top Men can tinker with the quoting system.

A lot of smartphones now can rotate and render landscape. Try doing that for web browsing.

I think this should be on the normal forum too. There aren't the readability issues of the mobile site but it just makes posts massive.

Wow, this page IS really fucked up on a mobile device, but it's something a screenshot won't do justice, only a video of scrolling.

I don't want to be the guy that demands Giant Bomb change their rules or code for the main site to satiate paid members. I simply wish to ask politely of users to not create hourglass quotes that are greater than 3 quotes at a time.
