You're welcome! I will keep testing it! I would like to recommend a mobile site, as it will improve the site's functions on mobile devices.Logging in:
Works great!
Mobile forums:
Problems:
1. It is hard to get to the rest of the website. You have to switch to standard first.
2. Not as many features.
3. No mobile auto detection (complicated to switch to mobile).
Not problems:
1. Works well!
Home page/profile pages:
1. If you are touching them, scrolling areas for projects try to scroll while you are scrolling the page up or down.
Project pages:
1. The menu at the bottom of the screen does not respond right.
Ah - fantastic! This is a great list. Thanks!

BBCode is painful, but other than that, I love it.
It could have some Scratchyer colors, though.

I could try looking at this site on my mom's old IPad she recently gave me!

I tried viewing this website on my IPad and it works nice! But here's a problem: When you're logging in, when you click “Sign in”, the blue bar stays where it is rather than scrolling with the screen.

I can use Scratch on my iPad. I installed a browser called Photon,that supports Flash Player. I just tap on the lighting icon,and Flash enables.

I think the changed the CSS/JavaScript I tried viewing this website on my IPad and it works nice! But here's a problem: When you're logging in, when you click “Sign in”, the blue bar stays where it is rather than scrolling with the screen.

Stock Android v2 browser (pre chrome)
The biggest issue I have is the ‘other projects by’ black banner that should appear at the bottom instead appears in the middle of the page over the very comments I am trying to read or reply to… Makes life very difficult and no amount of zooming or panning around can shift it!
On a secondary note I wanted to add a few ideas to a different forum, but I think it is closed now. What I generally use my phone for is checking the messages screen and replying to comments. Perhaps you could rework the message screen to be more inline with how facebook does messages. You could really do with showing a snippet of the actual comment against each row. I'd love to be able to click to expand the comment and be able to reply inline without opening and loading up the project page (which can take ages when not on wifi).
If loading the project page IS required, then if you can detect a mobile is being used, then how about not loading the flash player and displaying the thumbnail until you click it to allow it to download. And perhaps collapsing the remix list too until expanded, and only then load the images… All these things would make the experience much more bearable?
Also, when in mobile you could display everything in a nice large font in a single column so you can scroll down it without zooming and all the page movement?
Sorry for all that, I hope you don't mind me abusing this forum topic… these aren't so much bugs as ways to make things more useable on a slower small mobile.

I was using the project editor on an Android tablet, but it did not let the blocks move. The paint editor also did not work.
Also, on my iPod Touch, the links in project descriptions do not work.

When I comment a project on my android, the “other projects by this author” box covers it up, making it hard to fix typos.

I went on Scratch on my Samsung Galaxy S2, but it couldn't load my project. We need your help to make the Scratch 2.0 website run better on mobile!
Since Scratch 2.0 depends on flash, viewing and editing projects won't be possible for a while. However, we want to make sure that most other things work - like commenting, posting in the forums, love its, and other features.
Just yesterday, we made some changes to make it easier to login on mobile devices. But there is still work to do in that area. We need your feedback on what's working and what isn't!
If you find a glitch, please post about it here. As with all glitch reports, it's super helpful when you include a screenshot - so we can see exactly what the problem is.

Thanks and Scratch On!
So can you fix this?
Oh… wait…
I'll edit this later and tell you if it works.

I load the project, and there's just a blank white screen.

I agree. But apart from that everything else is fine on mobile - I mostly use Scratch on mobile if I am not looking at any projects or cannot grab the laptop The type comment box on the pages for projects is blocked by the More Projects By ___ at the bottom of the screen.
