So we have a mobile theme. Since it's a theme designed for use on tablets and cell phones, it's what I call 'the bare bones.' That said, it's nice if you just want to chat from your phone or read posts. There's also the option to just swap over to the Rev or Omni theme.
As it stands, the theme has most of what I think it needs to have. The exception is the Rules, because they're not populating there for some reason I plan to investigate.
I wanted to open a thread for feedback or to see if there's anything people want included.
As a heads up, you can access the mobile theme from desktop using the drop-down bar at the bottom of the forums. I don't recommend that, since you have to go through your UserCP to change your theme (the 'go to desktop version button' doesn't work when you're already on a desktop). It also, for some amusing reason, changes some of your settings (like 'Display Images' lol)

Looks great, so excited we have a mobile theme now. Two things so far.
When trying to reply to a PM I couldn't figure out how to type outside of the other person's quote box. Maybe I'm just dumb, but I fiddled with it for a minute before getting frustrated and making a brand new PM.
Also on the home page it tells me when the last post was in a forum, but I'd like to be able to see who it was and what they posted in without having to go into the forum itself. Minor thing, but it'd be noice.

If you go into your Edit Options, there's a checkbox in the bottom-right (where you can select your theme).
Box that says 'Use a mobile version if I visit from a mobile device?' I recommend un-checking that if you'd like to not use the mobile theme while mobile. I've never had an issue with it reverting back, so maybe it has to deal with closing out the browser? Maybe that's dumping your cache? (or something?)

If you open up the drop-down menu, you should be able to click the name of your other accounts to switch over.
The chatbox should work fine, @Marcus. Make sure you're hitting the Shout button. Sometimes if you just click return/enter, it gets testy?
Working on the post by thing currently
Those using this, please let me know as soon as you see something fug-up

Yuki: the chatbox is acting weird due to Aadibah's long, no-break laughter shout. In mobile theme, it requires a space in a shout in order to break it into smaller pieces. Without a space, it stretched the chatbox instead.
I hope my 6:41am babblings were comprehensible to you.

Okay, I know that PM is still a point of frustration/lack of functionality.
Are there any other bugs/errors/missing stuff here. Bugs/errors may have come from the board being updated, so please point them out.
In other news, the Rules should show up perfectly.

Go into your User Control Panel. Go to Options. Make sure "use a mobile version when I visit from a mobile device" is checked. I also use Samsung and I don't have this issue.

Did that and it's still borked. Is there anything else I can do?

As an aside: PM now works (and should work fine)
OM and Post # are visible in the post bit, for those making purchases from Mobile
You may also access anyone's Log or Roster via their OOC profile.

I accidentally made my phone switch off of the myBB code, and now every time I look at it I have to go to my UCP and swap between that theme and the desktop theme.
Additionally, the mobile theme doesn't have a dropdown, so when you click the "Switch Back To Normal Theme" with the mobile theme selected from the drop down, it doesn't revert to the desktop theme

Alex helped me with this offline.
Solution was:
change to Omni theme
On the far bottom left there is an option to change to mobile version
Then you're good to go!

There is now a 'Mobile Version' button on the Revolution theme as well.
