We’re switching the smartphone mobile version of road.cc (the one with the swipeable nav) off this morning for two weeks while we do some some testing on the back end of the site.
So apologies to those who like to swipe through the pages of road.cc on their phone. On the plus side though you will be able to log in to the site and comment etc from your mobile for the next couple of weeks without the need to switch over to the classic version of the site.
Swiping will be back two weeks from today, after which we’ll be digesting what we’ve learned while it was away.

Please feel free to leave it
Please feel free to leave it off, or at least buried in a menu option somewhere out of the way.

Another +1 for leaving it off
Another +1 for leaving it off – the swiping was always way too sensitive and I never seemed to be able to see article/forum comments using it. Swiping in particular must have skewed your page read stats.

If you have to bring it back, please get rid of the permanent smartphone banner that follows you everywhere. If I want to swap, I’d like to have a fixed button/link, not some floating banner I keep accidentally triggering.

Please leave it turned off. It is a mess and horrid to use.
Much cleaner and simpler right now without it on!

Please use your coders to bring the main web site up to scratch. It works well enough, within its present constraints, on all devices. It’s obvious that you don’t have the resources for two sites.
