The owner of Reprolabels told me a while back that he was changing (servers/site?) and I suspect that this is what he was referring to.
My opinion is that, although this renders well on mobile (more on this below), I had to click on the image, wait for it to pop-up, and then open THAT image i another tab, as it didn't fit my screen (I am using my phone, while connected to a monitor, but I don't always do that). Also, clicking on the "left/right" arrors for the next image just exited the image, prompting me to have to click on another link to see the next picure, and repeat the process again.
However, I am happy that they have made the site more mobile friendly. I am going to be outspoken here, but I have felt for a long time that most, if not all ofthe main TF sites, from online shopping sites, to fan news ones (including Seibertron) are not mobile friendly, which is inexcusable in this day and age. Adverising revenue can easily be generated from mobile ads, with only small changes made to the design (just look at gawker, Ars Technica, BBC or any other main site to see how they can offer both PC and mobile solutions). Tformers has a basic "RSS" style mobile site (which still links to desktop pages, but it's more than most sites offer), whereas TFW2005 has even, strangely enough, BLOCKED the entire Docomo mobile phone network IP adress from acessing their site (because, spam, boo hoo), thus alienating most, if not all, Japanese fans (who mainly access the internet through mobile devices and networks).
One of the main reasons that I don't contribute that much to the TF boards, or buy stuff from the various online sites, is because there are no mobile friendly sites out there.
This needs to have already changed, years ago, so I applaud Reprolabels for taking the leap and doing what many sites, including this, should have already done.
