Finished the proof of concept for the new mobile scrolling system this morning. Mobile users won’t need to scroll down and press tiny arrow buttons after the next patch and instead swipe left and right (or press the associated buttons on either side of the screen) to move through the pages and softpages (as indicated by the Greek alphabet after the page number). There’s also a system to maintain your softpage in the event of a page reload or navigation via the back or forward arrows so users can’t lose their place as easily.

I need to read up more on the CSS grid system, since there should be some way to center the last few entries if there isn’t enough to complete the row. All I need to do now with this system specifically is adapt the code to jQuery and tweak the specifics, and it’s good to go. The default for new and anonymous users will be the 3×3, 27 per page setup shown in the beginning.

The old method of displaying the gallery on mobile will be available as a setting.
