The big thread of things that are wrong

[Islander]

Not sure if it is a bug:
I can enter a carrier that is on his/her sleep tick? (well, I haven't tried but the button does appear...)

ELECTION_LENGTH isn't taken account of at start of game

I can see all four private forums now :p

Not that they are that interesting, but still

Seeing as Zypher stopped showing up, I made you a forum mod (hence the green nick).

Show to reppers instead of repair skill on level up page. How can no one have reported that already!? Lazy bums

I don't know if this has been addressed yet, but the android version of the game isn't working properly, you cannot attack, sometimes you can repair and sometimes you can't. Also sometimes it allows you to move to another sector sometimes it doesn't...

I've been playing mainly with my iPhone and there are a couple of issues, as you can see in the image below.



1. Position: fixed
This isn't supported properly in mobile Safari. When zooming in on the page the footer doesn't automatically move to the bottom, which is a problem because then it floats over relevant content elements. You should be able to fix it with a little JS though.

Code: Select all

window.onscroll = function() {
  document.getElementById('fixedDiv').style.top =
     (window.pageYOffset + window.innerHeight - 25) + 'px';
};

2. Scrollable divs with overflow: auto
Mobile Safari disables scrolling on all elements except for the page. I'm not sure if this will be an easy fix but it's really annoying because it's impossible to see more than the last 8 messages and only 7 text lines per message. Also the Legion News is limited to like 6 lines.
Have a look at http://cubiq.org/iscroll-4 that should also work for Android.

Edit: Just realized that for point 2 a much easier solution could be to remove the height of those divs for mobile browsers. The divs will get the height of the content, so the page will get long but scrolling down is easy.

Are these things fixed with the latest safari?

I've been playing quite a few turns on mine as well.

If I'd seen this earlier I'd have already tried this. I'll try it as soon as I can.

I've not been having any trouble reading comms or legion news (iPhone4 not yet upgraded to iOS5). I use 1 finger to scroll the page and two fingers when I want to scroll comms or legion news. After a while it becomes pretty natural. That said, I'm still looking at ways to make the mobile version work, I keep wanting to scrap it and start again though.

Was in Zzzz last turn. Refreshed the page.. same deal.
Logged off and back in.. still the same.
Only a minor thing.
