Looks like many users are making the same mistake I did initially. The new version of myLot is a total revamp of the site that works for EVERYONE. If you haven't seen it yet, you'll have to follow a link to get there, and once there, you'll have to log in again...but it is well worth it. Bigger...faster...brighter...fewer calories...it's what you've been waiting for!
Anybody who has pulled up myLot on their phone or tablet knows that things looked pretty rough. We've been working on fixing this for awhile and are finally...

I'm on it now and mostly I like it but I am curious why the photos we post on our discussions are so dadgum HUGE?? I'm hoping @mylotbugs can give us a clue about what causes that and if we can do anything to prevent it from being so dern big.

On my mobile, the picture shows up as kind of a normal-sized header of the discussion... In a way, it reminds me of how Bubblews was...

It is interesting but I like the old site better so far. I did post on Bugs discussion.

I suppose that is a simple mistake for members to make. It was clearly stated that it was intended as an eventual total replacement, but that the compatibility with mobile phones was the main target.

I wonder if there will be an app for this because going on browsers could be off sometimes considering that internet speed will play a factor on how the pages will come out. Also, the display on a mobile phone will be much restricted.

@JolietJake The Chrome browser on the phone is quite smart since it could detect slow internet speed and switch to text base automatically, But this will affect how the page will display since some of them have nice pictures attached to them. Other than that I suppose we just have to bookmark it to access it and toggle in between features.

Actually, I see many members saying it is quite easy on a phone now

I have been hoping for a mobile version, as I can't always be home, and this new site is ideal. I am using it right now, and I intend to keep using it, as I do find it much faster and it is a much cleaner site as well. I love the drop dwon menus, which puts everythihng together so that I don't have to search so much to find what i am looking for; This change is really worth the time, for sure.

It works great on my laptop, but is proving a bit tricky at the moment on my Surface tablet

myLotBugs wants everyone to post on hs discussion what types of problems they are experiencing with it, what browser they use, and what type of device (phone/tablet/desktop/etc)

@JolietJake I think mine is more a tablet problem than their problem. It gets a teensy bit sensitive about touch at times. But I do like the new site.

I am leery of a new Beta site. I played a game on FB called Fish World. It was Beta and plagued with problems. It was still in Beta two years later and I swore never again. What if I change over and find I can't use it?

@JolietJake Oh, I thought that once I changed over, I could not get the old one back. I am sorry that I am so tech challenged. I taught myself the computer. Never had a lesson so I make a lot of mistakes.

You don't have to 'change over' because both sites are currently operating, you can post in either site and it will show up in both, in fact you can be logged in to both sites at the same time

I think I'll wait for a while before trying the new version. Let them get rid of any bugs first.

Once I realized that I needed to log in things improved (remembering my password presented a challenge). I am not able to explore, so I'm back on the old site.
