Is the new layout just not meant to work with Android?

WARNING: Possible old grognard ahead.

I'm used to seeing Server Goblins, and I've accepted that I have to learn how to navigate the new site, but after what, a couple weeks now, I'm still having incredible difficulty in doing so. I'm wondering now if it's not just me, and might instead be my Android interface.

This is what I see when I click on the "Pathfinder" link at the top of the page.

This is what I see when I click on "Community".

No amount of loading or reloading or reclicking changes this view.

Is there supposed to be a link somewhere to the Forums? I had to Google "Paizo Website Feedback" just to get here.

Is there supposed to be a link to the PRD or SRD? I've tried looking through the Organized Play links but can't find anything.

Searching in general seems difficult. Google has helped me immensely, but I shouldn't have to resort to that, right?

Like I tried searching the site the other day for Emerald Spire, and nothing came up. I ask Google, and it's immediately revealed.

But 95% of my web use is on my Google Pixel 2 (which is how I screenshotted those pics).

Could that be my issue?

I use an iPad and get similar results. I assume work is still being done to correct these problems. Or at least I hope, I still can't get most of my Digital Content.

Oh, and one other annoyance:

I have the PFS Forum bookmarked. Getting there is no problem. But say I click on a thread link in that Forum. If I don't post in that thread, and instead click my "back" button, I am taken back to the bottom of the PFS Forum.

I say "annoyance" because it's just as many clicks to hit "back" as it is to click my bookmark, but webpages shouldn't need to work that way.


Looks the same for me on a PC using Chrome. I'm assuming that whatever it's supposed to do just isn't working


I also have some of those issues with my (Android) phone. The text box also doesn't extend when I write something, so it the text is hidden by the 'preview' 'cancel' and 'submit post' buttons, and I can't really see what I'm writing.

Me, too!

It corrects itself when I rotate it back and forth, though.

But, yes, another annoyance.

I've always had this issue on my phone (before the site update as well as now) -- if you switch to another alias, the box will expand to the correct size, and then you can switch back to the alias you want to use.

I don't have issues using the site with my Android phone specifically. Yes, the community link on subpages does not work on any device or platform--I think that's just an issue they haven't fixed yet and isn't Android specific. I don't have an issue using the forums button or getting to the forums via my profile.
