I'm liking it as well - much easier to browse on mobile now!

Note everyone when we launch the new site in late spring/early summer the mobile version will change in some ways (most importantly a much more robust search and filtering capabilities). Alex has been tasked to help as liason between me, the bike geeks, and the developer. So along with all the feedback everyone has shared in surveys, emails, in conversation, etc. you may hear from him at times with updates or possibly requests for more feedback.

And I don't know why the mobile version was turned back on. NING probably tinkered with this and didn't tell any of us network owners. I noticed it a few days ago buy aassumed my phone had just added the /m by accident.

I'm relatively new to a supported mobile OS, but it seems to me standard practice is to give the user a choice between mobile and desktop version.  I figured it had to be NING's incompetence....

Their original version didn't include events.

Oh, but the desktop version is available as a link from the menu on the top right.

This is the view from iPhone

Yes, thanks Will, I did mention that I figured it out eventually.  My point was that it seems to be a typical courtesy to ask the user which they prefer, not just toss them into the mobile version.

I had high hopes that when they moved to a paid platform that they would feel a little pressure to stop half-assing it.  No joy...
